W238 Jenn-Air Cooktop - Instructions

This was an extremely simple repair. No screws, no nothing. If you can plug in a lamp, you can swap out this part just as easily.

I was told that we needed a new stove at an estimated cost of $3900. I decided to google the parts that were not working after I was able to identify the Part number & model. I was first advised to look at Lowes, which I did and was not successful. I did another web search the Part Select site came up. At first I was able to find the part, but the color. A simple phone call and a helpful (Human) voice at the other end gave me a new model number and in less than 5 minutes I had made my order. Total cost $368.00 including shipping and handling. My stove is working like new. Total savings $3500 and change. Satisfaction 100%. I have placed the web site in the must have category.

Turned off the power at the circuit breaker panel. Removed the control knobs from each switch and the four palnuts under each knob. Removed the two screws inside the vent well that hold the escutcheon in place. Pulled each switch up as much as possible to expose the wires attached underneath to each switch blade. Remoced each wire and replaced them on the new switch. Same procedure for all four switches. Reassembled in reverse order. Turned on power and all four burners lit up and were regulated as if new. I saved $244.00 doing the repair myself.

The lids are fastened to the underside of the unit by rivets....3 to each lid.
I used a cordless drill and small drill bit to drill through the rivets to remove the old lids and remains of the rivets.
The new lids are easily fastened back using a rivet gun ( about $20 in Lowes) using small 1/8th aluminum rivets.
No real problems.
1 thing to note is that the drill bit will pass through the old rivet by about 1/4 inch before it comes up against the upper level of the BBQ floor so do not drill any deeper.The aluminum rivets are easy to drill through and you will easily feel when the rivet is drilled through.

1. Lifted out the old burner cartridges
2. Opened the box from PartSelect
3. Inserted the new burner cartridges

It's plug and play. No tools required !

Simple. We just unplugged the old white induction unit (still works after 18 yrs) and plugged in the new black radiant cartridge. Great customer assistance.

Opened the box and placed new cover over grill.

There was no tools required with this job. I had to remove the old elements from the stove top and replace them with the newly purchased ones from this site. The hardest part was to located the parts I needed. I went to Best Buy to purchase these and they said they no longer stock them. They quoted me double the price that I paid and I received them a lot faster this way and did not have to rely on them for help. I will recommend this site to all my friends.

First of all the part arrived a day and a half after ordering which we thought was remarkable. We unplugged the griddle unit and plugged in the cartridge with two burners. It is beautiful.

Thanks.

Unplugged old units and plugged in new units. They fit perfectly and it was all so easy. I have been very happy with PartSelect services.

I first removed power from the stove at the breaker panel. Next, I used the assembly diagrams provided by the parts select website to determine how to open up the stove panel. I opened the oven door to access the four screws holding the front panel holding the knobs. I removed the screws and was able to tilt up the front panel to allow access to the four burner switches. It was easy to swap out the wires on the old defective switch to the new replacement switches. I replaced both defective switches in 15 minutes and tiled the front panel back down into its normal position and put the four screws back into the panel to secure it. Then I turned on the breaker and did a check to see that the parts I replaced were working properly. They were and the total repair time was around 30 minutes without rushing at all.

We turned off the breaker and removed the screws holding the control panel in place. They are behind in the exhaust area.

The control unit was lifted up to reveal all of the wires and the switches. Using pliers I pulled off the connectors keeping up with which wire was from which connector. The switch then dropped out and the new one went in and wires were reconnected.

It was not difficult. Only challenges were that it was very dense and hard to get at the wires and you had to be careful to keep up with the wire locations.

Well worth the time...I can do something other than boil water on that burner!!

I replaced it with a new one. I simply picked up the old one and set the new one in its place. No tools required and the part fit perfectly.

This griddle just simple slips into place above the electric elements.

The REAL story is the efficiency with which my order was filled and shipped. I was impressed! There were constant updates on my order and shipping information! Great job!

Remove and replace. It was a snap, no skill required.
