Replaced grill with cooking elements
Bought a new house last fall. Jenn-Air range had two element cooktop with two element grill. Oven went out and while service man was here, I asked him to check on the price of another two heater element panel to replace the grill. He subsequently called to say the part I wanted was not available. I immediately got on the internet and did a search. Found it "ships same day" for what I thought was a very reasonable price at PartSelect. Unplugged the grill and plugged in the cooking plate. We now have four usable "burners" instead of two. Thanks PartSelect!

Replaced burners on stove to glass type top
Removed old ones and plugged in new ones.
One of my new burners went bad about 6 months later and it was so easy to get a new one sent to me, at no cost even though the price of the burners went up. I received replacement within 2 days. Great service and my salesperson was great!!!!!!

Burners on one side of cook top no longer worked
I ordered replacement burner cartridge. Pulled out non-functional burner cartridge and installed new cartridge. They are plug in units so no tools were needed and it only took about 15 seconds. Took longer to get cartridge out of shipping container than it did to install it.
New black unit looks different than 15 year old unit but works better and looks better. Black granite appearance is more modern looking.
I should add that the old unit had been in place for approximately 15 years. It didn't come out when I first was trying to remove it to get model number and serial number from it. Once the old rust and corrosion was overcome it removed and reinstalled as easy as any electical plug in a wall outlet.

We Needed the second set of stovetop burners
This is fantastic. We've had this Jenn-Air range for some time now, but we only used the two-burner module on one side and the indoor grill on the other. Less than a week before Thanksgiving we decided that the extra two burners would be very useful, so I set out to search the internet for a good deal and the possibility of getting it before needed. Then I found your website and within minutes theunit was on the way and, at the most reasonalable price available. I recieved the unit he next day. All I had to do was plug in the module and it was done.

Scratches in Surface
This product comes in a bottle with a brush like Liquid Paper. It goes on incredibly easy. A second coat might be needed. I wanted to prevent rust from setting in so I covered the scratches and dings. The paint is a little brighter since my washer is 10 years old but it still looks great.

Two Old Cartidge Units Dysfunctional With Unreliable Burner Operation.
Each cartridge unit consists of two electric coil burners in a larger frame assembly. The old cartridge units simply lift up and unplug from the range top. The new units simply plug in and drop into place. It probably took more time to unpack the box than to remove the old, and insert the new cartridges. Anyone can make this repair, which instantly converts an old range top into a new one.

One of the stove's top burners stopped working
After discovering that the Jenn-Air cartridges unplugged from the stove, it could not have been more simple to order a new one from PartSelect (it arrived in two days), unplug the old cartridge, and plug in the new one - and no tools required!

Bad Element
Remove top by opening oven and taking out two screws in the front. Lift up top and unplug wire connectors on bad element, writing down where they are landed. Take out screw on element bracket and replace. That easy. Be sure to unplug appliance for your safety. :-) Also just wanted to add that PartSelect was great. Ordered it on saturday and was cooking with it on tuesday. Great job.
