JED8345ADW15 Jenn-Air Cooktop - Instructions

It is so easy. Once I found the right size of filter from the website, I ordered it right away. It came in 3 days and I just need to take out the old one and insert the new one. No instruction is necessary. By the way, the price of the filter is one third of that from Jenn-air.

I first turned off the power to the range. The switch was housed inside a control panel in the front center part of the range. Two screws were removed and the housing was lifted forward and then off The switch was held in place by metal friction washers. Those were removed by a screwdriver and then the switch slide off the posts that they were attached to. The switch had two wires and I simply replaced the wires onto the new switch and placed the switch back onto the posts. The friction washers were pressed back over the posts to hold the switch in place and then the housing was screwed back into place.

throw breaker, unbolt switch, unplug leads, rerplace switch, bolt in place, reattach leads, turn breaker back on

We removed all the screws in order to remove the top cooktop frame. Once we did, the bottom part of the cooktop fell! It was being held up by the vent that goes underneath. My son and I had to get underneath to push up while my husband tried to position the cooktop back over the counter top ledge. It was VERY heavy. This was difficult and needless to say, it fell a couple more times before we finally were able to keep it on the ledge. We had to turn off the electricity, pulled the element out and disconnected the two wires, installed the new light and then placed the cooktop cover back in place by screwing all the screws. We did test the light before screwing on the cooktop cover JUST in case...:) It worked!

1. Remove the exhaust vent cover, located in the center of the top of the range. It just lifts off.
2. Swivel the clamp 90 degrees to release the filter.
3. Remove the filter and throw it away
4. Place new filter in place and lock in place by rotating the swivel clamp back 90 degress.
5. Replace the exhaust vent cover

Turned off power to range top. Two screws to lift the control area. One snap on was burned off.
Removed tab from inside same. Used nut driver to remove switch. Taped wires and restored control area. Power back on. Went to computer and got website for Partselect. Found description of part got me to several choices. The range is 25 years old. Selected a switch that seemed close. It arrived in two days. Redid the same steps. Some file and drill work required to make switch fit. Screwed switch in place. Untaped snap connectors and attached to switch. Checked for function and and restored control area.

removed two screws under fan cover at end of stove knobs. raised panel with knobs up and removed two nuts that held fan switch housing. installed new switch and moved power connections to new fan. (note: Killed power to range top prior to any repair action)

Remove and replace grease filter.

old filter fell into from removing and cleaning,
removed cover pulled out filter ,replaced it with new one.

ordered part, called friend who does odd jobs, and he came and turned off electric, unscrewed the area, pulled out old plug, plugged in the new. Turned on electric and walla, fan works !!!! thank you very much. Part arrived in very short length of time. I was surprised.

First I removed the two screws that hold the switch in place. I then pulled the switch out about 3 inches and disconnected the three wires from the old switch and replaced the new switch....

I just lifted out old filter, and put in new one.

Removed old filter, dropped in the new one.
(This really was not a "repair")

This was a no-brainer: old filter out, new filter in. In addition to replacing an old, greasy filter, I found that the exhaust fan now draws cooking fumes much more efficiently. So why did I wait the 6 years since we moved into this house to do this???

1st removed 2 screws & removed 2 leads ( then the fireworks started/ did not know the power was still in the leads), so removed the power. On the net picked a fan sw. from a picture & ordered it. The service was swift but the part was wrong ( had 3 contacts rather than 2/ I thought by this time they made one sw. for 2 purposes) WRONG.I called in to explain my problem & Susan M. helped me with the right part & excellant service. Thank you Susan.
