JEC8536ADW Jenn-Air Cooktop - Instructions

Lifted the range top about 2 1/2 inches, removed the ceramic top and replaced the burner. Tested the burner before replacing the top. Everything worked fine.

First I shut off the power to the stove top and the electrical breaker box. I found that the stove top was stuck to the counter top surface; a butter knife was used to break the old seal by inserting it under the lip of the stove top and slowly broke the seal by going all the way around the lip. Then I lifted the cook top out of the counter. I had to remove the entire sheet metal bottom enclosure for easier access to the switch compartment. I removed the 2 screws holding the old switch in place. I installed the new switch. Using the wiring diagram, included in the packaging of the switch, I labeled each connector with the proper colored wire, physically traced each wire to be certain it matched the wiring diagram. I removed the wires from the old switch, using a pair of needle nose pliers to prevent any damage to the wires, then connected each wire to the identified terminals on the new switch. Re-assembled the enclosure and removed the old foam seal. I replaced the old foam with the new foam. I then placed the cook top back into the counter cutout, turned on the breaker and turned on the burner. Wa-lah, every thing worked. Great job on the instructions. It made the job easy and straight forward. The only thing I found a little difficult was trying to remove the 2 screws holding the switch in place by only removing the small access to the switch compartment. It was much easier to remove the whole bottom enclosure. Just a few more screws, which took about 5 minutes.

The identical knob to replace cracked knob, arrived 2 days after I ordered it on line. It was replaced in minutes and we were very pleased to find this available service.

just replaced the knobs and they were a perfect match,can not tell the new from the old ones. thanks for the prompt shipment

Pulled old ones off and replaced new ones by pushing them on the spindles. Very easy!

I unplugged the stove and removed two screws on bottom of stove top (above oven door) one screw holding burner bracket in place. Took one wire off at a time and hooked to new burner, tightened all screws back down.

My son that is now in the Army National Guard was rather rough on the knobs for the range. Instead of pushing down and then turning, he would just turn the knobs and broke three of them. I only had one left that would operate all of the burners. I searched all over the local area and could not find any replacements for them. I went to the internet and found your site and the exact knobs I needed to replace the broken ones with. I received the new knobs in the mail and then put them on the range. It is nice to have knobs that actually work and it makes cooking much easier.

the cracked knob left the round piece of metal that is part of the knob inside the stovetop, preventing the new knob from being installed at the right height. We were able to remove the metal piece and place the new knob on at the correct height. We were very pleased at how fast the part was received.

Shut off 220 volt power to range. Removed two screws for cooktop element access. Used needle-nose pliers to remove power (2) and control (2) lugs and wires. Remove defective cooking element module, replaced. Reverse steps for new unit.

Removed burned out burner, replaced new burner tested works fine

A breeze. Lifted top, propped it, removed defective element, disconnected wire modules,connected modules to new element, fastened new element, closed top.

I used a nut driver to take the module apart. When I discovered the problem I simply threw the module out but kept the ceramic top and then ordered a new stove top. The burners would be a snap to install if the clips that secure it in place had not ALL broken off. All you do is pull the wires off with a pair pliers and set the new unit in place and reattach the wires. All that would be left would be to reattach the ceramic top and set the module back into place on the stove top. The modules were discontinued and no longer available any place. Believe me I tried. The delivery to me from Parts Perfect was very quick and without any hassles. I had no problem returning the burner. I would recommend these people any time.

I can't believe how easy this was to fix. 1. Unplug the stove. 2. remove the screws that hold the stove top in place. 3. pull the top up, unplug the electrical wires and unscrew the ground wire 4. remove the stove top and flip it over. 4. unscrew braces holding the burners in place. 5. with pliers, remove the wire connections between stove top and old burners 6. replace with new burners. 7. reattach everything. And you're done! Go brag to the neighbors about what you just did.

Pushed the knob down on the spindle. Second order in three years.

bought new ones and pushed them onto D shaped posts total time 90 seconds they may break again in 10 years but I am to lazy to reinforce them
