JGC8430 Jenn-Air Cooktop - Instructions

First I removed the old damaged knobs by pulling upward on the knobs. Then I replaced the damaged knobs with the new knobs being careful to align the male and female connection. After installation I tested each burner for proper operation. As a final test, I asked my wife for her opinion. We're happy!

You had the part at a good price and super quick delivery.

Should have read the partselect instructions first 1.) unplugged range 2.) unscrewed (torque screws - good thing I had some) burners - one screw was corroded into the top and snapped - will require a drill to remove and replace metal screw. 3) slid electrical wire from contact 4.) unscrewed (with phillips) Burner Electrode assembly (also corroded - took some force) replaced electrode assy and reversed steps. Works perfect.

I used a star head driver to take of burners ,then pulled wires out about 2 inches unplugged old ignitors and plugged in new ones

after I received the cap in the mail, I removed the grillwork and set the cap in place. then replaced the grill and my wife fixed my supper.

Needed to remove all 4 burners to repair
one, but it went without a hitch.

Thanks to your exacting and clear diagrams, we were able to locate the correct parts
We called JennAire, but they were unable to
find the part..

It was delivered in a timely fashion and
we were able to finish the job in about
3 hours. thanks

I converted the cooktop from propane to natural gas, the parts I was told I needed were the incorrect parts. I called because I was not sure about the listed parts. I was helped over the phone but recieved the LP parts. The flame was very low, and i found the orifices I replaced were the same parts I just took out.I contacted Parts select and they were helpful and credited my purchase without any hestitation.Once the new orfices were recieved it was easy to install. I recommend using a nut driver with sticky tape to go the orifice holder after the venture is removed. You do not have to disassembe the stove as long as you don't drop the part. Changing the regulalor was also very easy by removing the gold nut and pulling the white pin out and flipping it over to Nat. The flat side of the pin is labeled LP or NAT. Then just screw the nut back in and tighten. The LP orifices are labeled on the side 0.65, 0.69, and 0.70 the natural gas orifces are colored black, silver , and red. It would be just as easy to go from Natural gas to LP!

took the nuts off &replaced the new ignited

There is really nothing to replace a stove knob. What I was impressed with was the speed in which the knobs came to my house, the very next day from the day I ordered them.
Thanks a ton!

First I removed the burner, two screws held it in place. The ignitor is attached to the burner with one screw remove the screw then remove the one wire connection. Reverse the steps to put back together. The whole job from start to finish takes about five minutes.

Remove the burner cover to reach the burner assembly. From the top of the cooktop you will see 2 screws holing the burner assembly. Using a T drive (6 point screwdriver)remove both screws and the burner assembly will come out of the cook top. Using a phillips head screw driver, remove the old ignitor from the burner assembly. Mine was galled up, so I had to use some penetrating oil and let it sit for a half hour. I then used a hammer and a phillips head screwdriver to tap the screw as I twisted to un-tightened the screw. Once it broke loose, I placed the new ignitor and reassembled the burner into the stove.

removed two screws, lifted the element, disconnected wire, removed one screw that holds electrode, replaced anf assembled

remove two screws then unplug the wires put the wires back on the new one

A very simple repair.
I inserted the brackets and screwed them in position

Simple. I went online, found the replacement part, ordered 5 new knobs. They came within 4 days and I put them on. Easy as can be. I saved this site so I can go back to it if I ever need to. Wonderful! Thank you..
