SVD48600PU Jenn-Air Range - Instructions

Just a couple of minutes to left off the cover grid, left out the old filter and drop in the new one.

Removed the oven door by opening slightly, then pic door up to remove. Remove 2 screws holding oven sensor in place, gently pull on sensor to remove, had to remove about 8 inches to get at plastic connector. Unplug connector, had to use an adapter cable supplied with the PartSelect kit to install new sensor, push cable back into opening, reinstall 2 screws. The oven works fine! Note that due to thermal lag the temperature overshoots to 370 degrees and undershoots to 340 degrees, this appears to be normal oven operation. Putting door back in place was easy.

Just placed it at the filter location. Liked the ring feature on the filter for ease of removal for cleaning. My previous ones didn't have such feature. Thank you for filling my order. I bought an extra filter for the future. I'm a big user of my Jenn-Air range. I may soon be needing to replace my griddle. Will be contacting your company then.

First I removed the two screws that hold the element in place. I then pulled the sensor out about 3 inches and disconnected the two wires. Next, I connected new sensor and screwed the new sensor back in place. One area for caution. Make sure that the electrical connection is pushed in past the insulation on the back side of the oven. Failure to do so will cause the plastic plug connector to melt from oven heat.

After viewing the diagram on partselect.com, I knew this would be easy. I first shut off the circuit breaker to the oven, then used a phillips screwdriver to remove the two screws on the plate securing the element. Once removed, I disconnected the two wires, and removed the old element. I then connected the two wires to the new element, and screwed the plate back into place. I then switched the circuit breaker back on and tested the new bake element which was working perfectly. This do it yourself repair saved me time and money not having to call and schedule a repair man. Thank you so much partselect.

I simply lifted off the grille in the center of the stove, pulled out the old filter and dropped the new one in. It sits at an angle (right side down, left side up) rather than slotting in to a particular spot.

First I removed the two philips screws inside the oven that hold the element in place. Then I pulled the sensor out and the two insulated wires through the hole to reveal the plastic connector. I unsnapped it from the connector and replaced it with the new element. Then, behind the oven, I removed five or six philips screws on the right side of the large panel so I could pull the wires back through the layer of fiberglass insulation to make sure only the sensor itself would be exposed to the oven's heat. I then secured the back panel again and replaced the two philips screws holding the sensor in place.

After attempting to order this part from Whirlpool twice and twice receiving the wrong thing, found correct part on PartSelect in about one minute. Shipment came fast and the repair was very simple, under five minutes. You just pop the pieces in place and snap the piece back onto the oven.

Replaced old parts with new ones.

Pulled oven out of the cabinet/wall and pulled sensor out and replaced with new one.

A few years previously I had this same problem and a PROFESSIONAL had replaced the sensor.
Thus this time I knew what the failure was and obtained the sensor from Part Select. Having observed the PROFESSIONAL replace the sensor before; I followed his easy technec only to learn that when the sensor was pulled from the aft wall of the oven that the wires had deteriorated and the plastic plug melted. Therefore it was neccessary to remove the oven from the wall cabinet. Then I removed the panel from the back outside of the oven, cut back the wires and because the kit from Part Select contained additional connectors was able to splice in a replacement connector. Installed the new sensor and reinstalled the oven. LESSON LEARNED; when the PROFESSIONAL had replaced the sensor he had failed to feed the wiring and plug back past the insulated chamber, directly behind the oven, into the cool area assessable by the panel on the aft side of the oven thus the plug and wires were exposed to the heat of the oven. What would commonly be a few minutes job turned into an afternoon project.

Removed the old sensor by removing two screws and pulling the wire out through the hole. Disconnected the connector and discarded the old sensor.
Selected the correct connector of the 3 provided, plugged the new sensor in and threaded the wire back into the hole paying special attention to make sure wire and connector was on the backside of the insulation. Assembled the two screws and tightened.

Initially installed two oven hinges. To remove door: fully open oven door and insert a small nail (wire or metal paper clip will work) into the hole on the moveable arm on each hinge. (This pin will prevent the hinge from snapping shut when you remove the door.) Next you remove one screw from the small cover plate where the hinge enters the body of the stove. After removal, close the door to broiling position (about two or three inches open). Now lift the entire door up and then out away from the stove (this action will lift the hinges up and off of the pins on the hinge receptacle and allow you to remove the entire door). Remove the several screws that attach the door "skin" to expose the hinges. Remove two screws from one end of each hinge and disengage the retaining arms from the slots on the other end to remove each hinge. Installation is the reverse. I decided to disassemble the oven door glass and clean all sides. This took a lot longer than the hinge replacement but looks new again. Your new hinges will have cute little pins that you will need to remove before it will close (install door and open completely to install cover plates and then remove pins) FYI, I didn't know about this Parts Select site so I had purchased the hinges without installing the hinge receptacles (the small metal case with the pins that attaches the door to the stove). My site didn't have the hinge receptacles and it didn't appear that they could be defective. BIG MISTAKE! The door did not close completely......it was easy to open and close but it was not sealing properly. After researching on the internet I found that new hinges require new/redesigned receptacles as the pins are slightly different. So after installing the receptacles (remove door to access four small 1/4 metal screws) on the stove sides (our built-in stove doesn't have sides so acess was easy). The door closed properly.

TURN OFF POWER TO RANGE AT FUSE BOX -- a)Open the oven door, b) Unscrew the left and right silver nuts (not the black screws)that are in the oven under the control panel, c)pull off the four control knobs on the control panel, d) gently tilt out the control panel, e) set the control panel in/on the protruding arms, f) pull off THE connectors at the back of the switches - remember which is top and bottom, g) use a screw drive to break off the plastic pieces that hold the switches in place, h) push out the old switches, i) push/snap in the new switches, j) reconnect wires, replace control panel and screw in the nuts.

First, thanks to PartsSelect for getting the part to me so quickly. I went to the "Instant Repairman" , checked all that applied to my problem. The answer was the sensor, 99% of the time.I used a coat hanger to pull the latch back and open the door. I watched the video and followed the instructions to remove the old sensor. The wires were melted but the plug was still good. I used one of the adapters to install the new sensor, then replaced the two screws inside the oven. I pulled the stove out because I had read in the reviews that you needed to get the plug behind the insulation away from the oven wall. I was lucky ,there was a small hole in the back ,right behind the sensor.I gently pulled the wire and plug to the back ,well away from the oven wall. Put the stove back in place ,threw the breaker and was back cooking again!! My stove has a downdraft vent, took me longer to hook the vent back up than to install the sensor..Oh yes, did I say,I am a75 year old female and I did it all myself..
