W238 Jenn-Air Cooktop - Instructions

Being able to find the right cook top on-line and order it without running around trying to find it in stores was great. Was able to replace old electric burners with new ceramic cook top. Nice to update and easy to 'plug' in the module.
Thanks for being there.

The Model number could no longer be read clearly on the stove electric grill with a down draft vent system, so all I had was the size and looks of the old grease/air filter. I was very happy to come across Parts Select by way of an amazon.com search. Their web site's design and the parts pictures with detailed descriptions made it easy to find exactly what I needed. The grease filter fit perfectly in no time. I have successfully used my cooking grill again.

I lifted the old old cartridge on one end and slid it out. Then I shoved new cartridge in place, tried the burners. Perfect! Saved me from getting a entire new cooktop. Would recommend PartSelect to anyone looking to repair an old stove.

I bought 2 covers, they are great, I can put them on and the cook top looks wonderful. I bought an older home and the Jennn-Air top was scratched up, now you cant tell at all when I put the covers on. I was thrilled to find them. I thank you

Remove the screws from bottom of door to gain access to the hinge screws. Remove the bottom hinge screws and then open the door to gain access to the top hinge screws. CAUTION after removing the top screws close the door as far as possible while still griping the sides of the door. Pull up on the sides to remove the door from the stove. The springs are fully loaded if you have the door open all the way and try to lift up (like I did) the hinge will spring back and get your finger. Install the new hinge, put the door back into the oven, install all the screws and then remove the temporary rivet that comes installed in the new hinge.

The burned control switch was not functioning. It took a while to find the range model number and then the part number of the switch. It was cool that I could see a picture of the part with the part number on the internet so that I was sure to buy the right part.
Once the part arrived, I turned off the power to the range (circuit breaker, 220 V) removed two screws, used nut driver to disconnect switch handle, marked the 5 wires going to the switch, used the needle nose plier to remove the wires, the attached wired to the new switch, placed switch back into position, used nut driver to attach switch to the control unit. Rescrewed control unit in place with two screws.
turned on circuit breaker and tested. All good.
It is clear that this old Jenn Air range and be completely redone to good as new. All parts are available

This was so easy, it's a replacement that just slides into the outlet at the back of the stove. Done, just like that.

slipped the old modules out and installed the new modules by slipping them into the cavity and into the electrical connection.

Unplugged grill element and plugged coil element.
Install was as easy as was ordering from PartSelect.com.
Price and availability plus timely delivery will make me a return customer.

First had to find an element that was available for this older model stove top. I wanted to change the grill section for additional burner elements. We ordered two sections. The "guts" just unplugs and the new elements slip right in. It is like having a brand new stovetop! My wife is very happy with the four burners and doesn't miss the griller that were only used sparingly.

I removed the grill top and unpluged the element. then i pluged in the radiant element cartridge and i was done. It took me longer to unbox the cartridge than to install it.

1-Unplugged the old 2 burner element.
2-Plugged in the new element.
3-Elapsed time approx. 10 seconds.
4-It took longer to remove the new element from it's shipping
carton than it took to remove the old & install the new.

I removed the stove top cartridge from the stove top and plugged in the new one. No tools were needed. It was very easy.

The 15-year-old Jen-Air stove started smelling really bad. I thought it was a dead animal stuck in the exhaust tube which runs under the floor to the outside. I flushed it out with clorine bleach, but it was still bad. It turned out to the be the grease filter. I washed it every week in the diswasher, but it just was not enough to get it clean enough. Finally, the grease went rancid and smelled really bad. This "repair" took about 30 seconds.

SHUT OFF BREAKER! Remove exhaust grill and switch knob. Remove cooktop switch panel by removing two screws and sliding panel toward exhaust grill. Remove switch retainer nut with deep socket. Transfer wires one by one to new switch. Install new switch tightening retainer nut. Reinstall switch panel with two screws, push knob onto shaft. Turn on breaker.
