I came to Parts Select, and I found the fan control switch listed here (if you found this st ... Read more ory, you've found the right part). In one day, I had the part in my hand...the part that Sears said didn't exist.
First, I turned off the main fuse switch controlling the stove top! Very important! Then I tried to heat up the elements to verify that the electricity was disconnected.
I removed the glass top, then the pan, then removed the side screws that hold the flange in place, the same flange thae holds the knob control area in place. Then I removed the knobs (they just pull right off). Then I removed the knob control area. A small nut holds the fan control switch in place. Remove that, then the switch is loose under the control area. There are 4 wires, but two are connected to each other, so don't panic! Swap them out for your new part, and at this point, very carefully, turn on the main electric again and verify that the switch works. It should.
Turn off the electricity again, then mount the switch up under the control area. There should be a little, bitty tab on the control switch box that fits perfectly into the metal control panel, just to the left of the hole for the stem of the control switch--proof that this switch is meant to be used on this Jenn Air Expressions model CVEX4100/4270/4370 series counter top.
Then reverse the steps to replace all the panels, knobs, pans and elements, and you can cook without smoking up your kitchen, all for thousands less than a brand, new appliance.
Oh, one more thing. The nut around the old switch cannot be used on the new switch. However, you can use a nut from a coaxial cable fitting! It is the same thread count. I used mine from an RCA In Line F Connector 4 pack...part number VH664N.

Removed the IR unit.
Removed the (4) surface unit control knobs.
Removed the 3 screws (philips) that hold the control strip in place.
Loosened the old switch with a 1/2 " wrench.
Removed the control strip,
Removed the old switch, moved the wires from the old switch to the n ... Read more ew switch, it was a bit different, but although at first glance it looks like there are multiple connections for the blue wires, they are all interconnected, on both the old and the new switch.
Mounted the new switch in the control strip, then when testing it (no power yet) I found out I had mounted it wrongly (Off was now on top) I turned the switch, mounted the control strip and all the knobs.
Turned the power back on and everything worked as designed.
One word of caution, I used my lathe to drill out the broken stem from the original control knob (did not want to spend the $$ for a new one) if you do not have the tools to do that I suggest you buy that knob also when you order your new switch.
