CVGX2423B Jenn-Air Cooktop - Instructions

This problem was driving me crazy for months. Of course, after I bought and installed the part and it still was not fixed I finally found a website that told me how to fix the clicking. The problem is that the removable head burners (#8 on the top assembly diagram) are not making good electrical contact with the base burners (#22). What I did was grab the head burners and grind them back and forth into the base burners with the weight on the heal of my hand. Steel wool or sandpaper would work too--you just want to clean the surfaces to restore electrical contact.
If you still want to know how to replace the spark module start by removing #24. This will allow the removal of #9 (after you take the knobs off). You may have to do some fiddling cause the rubber gasket is sticky. Next there are 2 obvious regular screws for #14 and 2 not so obvious star screws in the space where the burner valves are. After #14 is off there are 2 screws on the spark module to be removed and one that you can't loosen that is in a slot. You wriggle the module out of that one.

Lift off blower vent cover. Lift out old filter. Clean walls and bottom of down draft using degrease soap and warm water. Dry. Discovered my grease filter will not install diagonally as shown in unit manual. Decided to drop into downdraft and put in front of fan suction. Found this left a gap at the top of fan suction that was not covered by the filter. Cut piece of wood 1 inch thick and width and length to drop down in the downdraft and lay on bottom. Set filter on top of wood in front of the fan suction. Verified that fan suction would pull filter tight against the opening by turning fan on and off. Put vent cover back over downdraft and told wife I was done.

I removed the center vent and inserted the filter...easy as pie...I went to your website and everything was there in an easy to follow way that even I could understand, my husband was totally impressed that I took care of it on my own....silly man.....it was so easy and delivery was extremely quick....so simple....thank you for making it so!!!!

unplugged unit from wall, disconnected gas line, and untaped the vent. disconnect the control knobs and unplugged and removed the control unit from the main unit. pulled the main unit out from the countertop and set it on a table. disconnect the burners and spark iginiters from the main unit. undo screws holding chrome brackets and stove base, to access iginiter. disconnect wiring from igniter and the one screw, replace iginiter. reverse everything to re-install

If you have a burner that begins to constantly flick without lighting, and/or flicks while you are lighting another burner, it is likely time to order a new ignitor. Once received, we first lifted the burner support rack, then the burner cap, then unscrewed the nut holding the metal bracket that holds the ignitor in place (years ago we had to "soak" the nut with a loosening spray prior to being able to unscrew it, so since then we do not tighten the nuts too tightly so that each nut is easy to unscrew by hand or with pliers if necessary). The previous steps allow one to lift the burner ignitor up and out of its resting hole. It will be connected to the electric wiring via a plastic connector. All one has to do is pull the wiring away from the ignitor and then push it up into the new ignitor. The plastic connector protects you from touching the live ends of the wiring. Voila! The burner lighted successfully.

Replaced the filter which required no tools.

Once I got the part from Parts Select it was easy. Removed four screws, liftef knobs and face plate. Removed two more screws , lifted assembly(after I shut off power)
Removed towo connectors and nut holding switch. Replaced with new switch and and did a reverse of proceedure to put together.
Real story was before I found Parts Select I contacted JennAir and their person couldn't understand or help me. I emailed the original manufacturer of the part and found it was obsolete. They did not offet a substitute.
10 minutes on line with PS and I had what I needed ordered.
Thank You

Piece of cake. Unplug power. Unscrew 4 screws on side. Unscrew 2 screws on top. Pull off top cover and plug in new switch. Switch was not the same but it still worked just fine. Very easy and much cheaper than paying Sears of JoeBlow $100.

started with turning off gas and unplugging electric then removed right side of stove top that exposed burners removed plastic igniter switch from top of burner valve and in very tight area used 1/4" combo wrench to turn hex screw on underside of burner valve once broke loose the rest was easy just patients and a little determination removed and everything in reverse to install works fine

Since the problem would only occur when the right front burner was on, I first replaced the ignitor, but the problem persisted. To replace the spark module I had to pull the range out of the nook it is in in the counter top. Then (after ensuring that the power was off) I removed the back cover. The spark module was easily located and removing two screws and disconnecting a few wires liberated it. The new one went in easily since it is the same part number and an exact match. Put the back on and check that the problem was solved. Done!

blower wheel was caked with dried grease clumps; replaced blower wheel, urethan foam and 3 motor isolators; blower/fan no longer vibrating cooktop.

Removed the small access cover on the bottom of the cooktop by reaching inside and under the cabinets. Removed the module which was held by two hex head screws, unplugged the wires noting the location and color of the wires. Plugged the wires into the new module in the proper locations as noted previously. Attached the module with two screws, and then attached the cover/access plate with two screws. Problem resolved, repair was easy.

Unplugged the unit first of course. Removed the control knobs.

Removed 4 screws from the control panel on the side of the stove top.

located the fan switch and took out the two connectors. The only little problem was the little bolt that holds the fan switch in place was slightly the wrong size for the new fan switch. I had to go to the hardware store to find a bolt that would hold the switch in place within the unit.

after that was located it was very simple to plug the connectors in to the new switch and put everything back in place. If a bolt would have been included it would have been a 10 or 15 minute job.

Installed new spark module by removing back panel of stove. Removed two screws holding old module. Disconnect lines, marking colors. Installed new. Problem not solved. Out $128 since new module was not returnable after install.
Called Judd and Black service department. Tech came on service call. Said it was bad gas valve. They ordered part. Than needed two weeks to install. I installed it and problem persisted. Could not return part because I installed it myself. Out $180. I had cleaned ignitor with alcohol from top. Took apart cooktop and cleaned from bottom. Problem fixed for free. Out over $500 in parts and labor.

Ordered a replacement grease filter.
