Replaced old Jenn Air cook top base
Prepare a flat area with newspaper, a screwdriver, and a small bowl for the screws, and a small wire brush (if you want to clean as you go). I also recommend taking photos as you proceed, for reference.
ALSO, take close note of the orientation of the cook top base, one end has a lip that's allows for burner assembly removal.

Remove entire two burner assembly, place upside down on newspaper, remove seven Phillips screws, remove assembly bottom.
Remove small screws from gas tubes, pay close attention as you remove the gas tube from the bottom of the burner, to the orientation of the two washers (the washers have an edge).
Remove the burner tubes and washers.
Carefully remove the igniter connectors from igniter.
Remove the end of the assembly.
Grasp the burners, and turn to rotate the burner to a position where the "bumps" on the burner match up with the gaps in the burner cook base. Remove the burners.
The old burner base can be set to the side. At this time i cleaned the burners throughly with a small toothbrush size wire brush.
Assemble the burners to the new top base by aligning the bumps to the opening in the cook top base, turn slightly to keep burner in place. Insert the gas tubes, with the washers (be careful about the washer lip orientation) with the smaller screws, do not overtighten!
Attach the igniter connector to the igniters.
Align the burner/gas tubes with the assembly end. Carefully set the base into place, adjust the tubes as necessary to get the screws aligned with the holes. Install the screws, tighten hand tight.
Install entire assembly into cook top, check igniter and burner operation.
Glass cleaner is great for cleaning the new porcelain surface.

Can I replace the cook top base myself or do I need to call an installer?

Hi Yolanda, Thank you for the question. Most customers have been able to do the repair on their own, but it will depend on your experience. Hope this helps!

The flame is leaking out below the burner head. Is the cook top base the part to replace or the burner head?
For model number Jgd8348bdp
Hello Colleen, thank you for your question. We have researched the model you have provided, and we would suggest the burner head. We hope this helps!
