89890 Jenn-Air Cooktop - Instructions

Replaced the switch and put the new surface element in and it works great.

Turn off the power. Remove 2 screws (in the blower compartment) and lift up the control panel. Release the switch by removing the fastnut. Unplug each wire from the old switch and place it in the cooresponding lug on the new switch. Screw everything back together and cook.

Cut broken wire and existed wire off and put splice on both new and old wires to connect them.
It's easy job.

It was worth the money for that little screw, since I didn't have to run all over trying to find the right one.

Removed screws by drilling one and using a pliers to remove 2nd one. At first did not have enough wire to pull recepticles out until I relized wires were clipped to back of range to hold in place. Unclipped wires, pulled recepticles out, cut wires and attached new recepticles by connecting wires with wire nuts (I think wire nuts were to small so I used my own a size larger). Another problem that I found was that the recepticles on my range were held in place only by the screws that attached the recepticles to the drip pan flang. I had to bend an L bracket to prop under each recepticle to hold the back of it up so the burner element would sit level over the drip pan.

After buying a 'universal' part at Lowe's and it not fitting correctly and shorting out the burner, I went online and found this source for an exact replacement part. Beside having to disassemble the drop in stove burner two or three times it went well when I had the correct part. I lost one screw somewhere and that delayed me a short time to find a replacement. Thus the 1 to 2 hours. It would have been about a 30 minute job if I had been smarter.

Took the front panel off by removing 4 screws. Then remove the switch by loosing the nut hold it. Then replace the wire on the new the way they were on the old switch. Put the panel back on.

We replaced the burner grates, knobs, air filter and burner pan. Looks as good as new!

Simply replaced these items with no difficulty. John legrand

Removed 2 screws and i nut. Unplug the old switch and plug in the new switch and presto, back in business. Extremely easy. Part was exactly as pictured. Part arrived within 2 days. Great Co. to buy parts from. Highly recommend Partsselect.

Pulled out electric heating element and replaced with new. I have had this frustrating problem for 2 years and after replacing the elements they now work like new! My only question, why did it take me so long to replace???

I first replaced the element and the receiver. This required splicing lines which was very easy. It still did not heat (even though my element indicator light was on) so I replaced the switch regulator. This took a little time because of the small space on my model. In fact, I had to replace a wire that had shorted by splicing a 3 inch section into it. When that was done, I simply re-connected the 5 wires in the original positions and reattached the cover. It works like a charm and my wife is delighted because we are hosting a family reunion/baby shower tomorrow!

Kill power to range unit at the breaker. Remove 2 screws on back of center control panel. Lift control panel up and toward rear of unit. Unscrew retainer nut which holds switch in the control panel. Carefully note wiring connections, and unplug all 5 wires from switch with pliers. Remove old switch. Reconnect all wires to new switch. Reattach switch to panel with retainer nut. Replace control panel in range with screws. Turn on power.

Removed the old ones and snapped on the new.
It was a snap and what a difference! Even though the cooktop is over 20 years old, it looks new again. Thanks to the knowledgeable support people at Part Select.Com we picked the right knobs the first time.
