22308 (1988) Kenmore Range - Instructions

Went to U-Tube and watched video. New switch has different wire connection pattern from old and requires some scrutiny as to where the connections are on the new sw.

You need a good flashlight!!

I first thought it was the switch. I ordered one and the wrong one was shipped to me FROM ANOTHER COMPANY. After more trouble shooting I discovered it was the cartridge that needed to be replaces. I ordered one and again, the wrong one was shipped to me. They told me I could not get the right part because they were not made anymore.

So, I shipped it back and got in touch with Part Select. They found the right part and shipped it to me in 2 days. Problem fixed with the EXACT right part. I ordered the first part more than two months prior to receiving the correct part from PartSelect. All I had to do was plug it in to the recepticle in the stove. No tools required.

Followed other's instructions from the web site: First - turned off the power at circuit breaker; removed two screws from downdraft vent area; pushed the switch housing back towards vent and lifted; held replacement switch next to defective switch and removed and replaced one wire at a time; loosed switch collar-nut and swapped defective switch for new one. Only issue was the "rat's nest" of wires gave very little room to work, especially if you have average sized hands.

I feel that the design of the indicator light, with the base attached to the bottom of the lens, is ingenious in that it eliminates the need for fasteners in that confined space, However, the plastic used for the base needs to be more flexible. Part of the base broke off in trying to force the base over the bottom of the lens. Fortunately, there was enough left on the base that I could slip it over the bottom of the lens and complete the installation.

Shut off power. Removed screws holding panel.Removed wires from old switch.Installed wires on new switch and reinstalled panel.EASY

You probably want to look inside as you read this. Most of it is straightforward, except the retaining clips.

First, I turned off the breaker switch. Opening the control housing, I disconnected the two leads and wrote down their orientation (one is silver, the other copper). In my JennAir model, an orange burner light is on either side of the fan switch. The white plastic on the rear is held on by their keyhole shape - just slide them the only way they can. This gives extra working room.

Since the switch plastic was already decayed, I snapped off the whole central square unit leaving the 2 portions held onto the posts by the metal retaining clips. Using a small flathead screwdriver, I pried up the plastic remnants, working around it until the retaining clips came loose/ broke.

The new unit fit perfectly and easily. The new retaining clips needed to be worked down a small circular file to spread the centers out enough for me to work onto the retaining posts. The file was just barely bigger than the existing hole. The clips can be broken if you are too rough or work them too much. After that, I used a pair of snub nosed pliers to push the clips down the posts. They required a considerable amount of force, but they aren't going anywhere anytime soon.

Reconnect the lights, reconnect the 2 leads, and check for any loose wires from other controls and loose parts. Reseat the control housing, turn on the breaker and test.

Installation was straight forward as the new vent cap was sized correctly for exhaust pipe (5 inch). Placed the mounting plate into the exhaust pipe and used 4 SS screws to anchor to house sheathing. The vent flapper was not flat, requiring that I carefully stress relieve it at 250 degrees and hold it flat while cooling to take warp out. Snapped it in place afterwards and then bolted on cover.

removed motor, saw that stablizers were broke and went to a local parts supply shop called SUNDBERG and was given a price of about 49.00 for three stablizers. at that point i went to the internet and found PARTSELECT.COM were i found the same parts for a fraction of the price,17.00, i could not believe it! SUNDBERG customer service was horrible.PARTSELECT custormer service is great and was just over the internet,any how the repair is done no more loud noise and wife is happy again ,for awhile.thanks keep up the good work.i tell everybody about you guys.

Unpacked the new cooktop, plugged the module into the outlet. Done.

I decided to remove the original Jenn Air grill from my stove top and replace it with a new Jenn Air radiant Element Cartridge. I searched on Google for 'Jenn Air radiant top' and immediately found just the item on the PartSelect.com website. I placed the internet order that day and two days later -- kaboom - the part has arrived. I pluggedd it into the stove top (no tools needed) and it was better than new. Wow, that's what I call a great experience! Thanks PartSelect. - Sandi Phillips

Repair was very easy for anyone to do,Just lift the old element cartridge up and pull out,And insert new the one! Very simple it took less than two minutes.The New element cartridge(stainless steel) Fits perfectly and functions perfectly.Ordered parts on a Saturday and they arrived Monday! impressive!!

Searched on the Web for the prt number printed on the cartridge itself. Found Partselect, and liked availability, price and delivery.

Replacement was literally a 30-sec task, without tools.

Works perfectly, spousal unit happy, more hot dinners ready when I am!

It was so easy. I just unplugged the old catridge and plugged the new one. Thanks for the fast and great service at a competetive price. I am a very satisfied customer who will definitely be returning and recommending your service.
