CVG4380B Jenn-Air Cooktop - Instructions

Very simple project. Had no clue it was so easy! To test how easy it is, remove the left side grill parts, move the grill parts from the right to the left! I had no idea there was a micro switch in the cooktop to change the fan operation! Parts arrived quickly. Only received one grate of the set, this was quickly fixed by Parts Select Customer service! We only used the grill once, made such a mess! Why did I wait so long to do this! (Over thirteen years!)

Pop off the old and on with the new. Took longer to open the plastic packaging each came in than to remove & replace old knob with new.

I removed the pan and then the burner assembly. Used a nutdriver to remove the old front burner. Replaced with the new part, tightened it on, and tested the new burner. Worked first time. Extremely easy. It took less than 5 minutes to replace.

Slide the knob onto the shaft.

Old filter allowed too much air flow causing exhaust fan to go off....installed new filter in exhaust chamber...release clip on old filter and install new filter (at an angle) in the exhaust box....clamp down clip on edge of filter and job is complete

removed rear cover where the spark module was and change it

UNPLUG THE POWER CORD! This particular model is a (slide-in) unit, it was wedged between to fixed cupboards/cabinets. Therefore, there are really no side panels to speak of, this made the repair slightly easier. I simply slid the unit out enough to unplug the power cord and access the right side of the unit. All one needs, at this point, is a Phillips head screw driver to remove a small metal panel installed just below the stove top panel (right side of range), its held with approx. 8 screws. There is one other panel that must be removed as well, (you may want to remove this panel first). It is an enameled-like panel approx. 5" wide x 36" long located at the front of the range (right side) running the length/height of the range (held with 2 screws). Get those 2 panels removed and you will see the spark module attached near center of range just under stove-top panel. Module is attached to a small metal bracket, module has 6 wires attached to it (2 feeding the module and 4 exiting the module to the burners). Bracket screws are nearly impossible to get at (you need a very stubby Phillips screw driver, if you can even get your hand in there). Anyway, I simply released the module from the bracket, then carefully bent the bracket back toward me; to provide work area for my hands. The bracket bends easily and really can't be broken. Now, at this point (using longer needle-nose pliers) detach the wires from the old module (remembering each wires location) or, as I did, hold the replacement module near the existing module and transfer the wires one at a time. Now, slap it all back together as you took it apart. Really simple job, total time is easily/generally under 30 minutes. It may be easier to access the module by removing all the burner components and raising the stove-top? Not sure? I chose not to do the repair that way. Hard part was locating where the manufacturer hid the module on the range. :- ) D.I.Y.ers Rock!!!

removed two hexigon screws--removed old burner---placed new burner into stove socket--replaced two screws. Done in about five minutes. Most time used to fine right size socket to fit screws! Fast delivery--easy repair--AND it works!
