Un screwed the two screws in the downdraft section enough to release the unit that holds the surface burner controls.Then removed the control nob, unscrewed the two screws that holds the switch in the unit, removed the wires, making sure the color of the wires were placed on the same contact point. Put it back together and it worked
fine.Of course I did shut off the power before starting any of the above

Changed out surface burner switch.Unscrewed two screws, changed plug onto new switch.Don't forget to turn off power!

The element is held in by two screws located at the rear of the oven. After killing the power, I unscrewed the two screws (one was stripped so I used a pliers to remove it) and replaced them with 2 new screws. Total time was about 20 minutes. Easy fix!

Removed the element and did a continuity check, the element was bad. The stove is over 25 yrs. old. Went to a local shop who usually are very good in situations like this. They could not find the part. Went on line to Part Select, found the part and verified with a phone call. Ordered and received the part the next morning and fixed the stove.

my wife did the chaging as i am unable to work on anything

Replaced one of the four burner control switches on my Jennair cooktop. One of the tricks I use to prevent mistakes is putting the new switch along side the existing one and swap one connector at a time over to the new switch preventing any confusion and negating any need to mark the wires. This differs from your video assistant who disconnected all the wires at once.
gc.

Removed 2 screws from back of oven. Pulled element away from the back,disconnected the 2 wires. Recieved new part in 2 days and installed in reverse order.

AFTER turning off the power supply to the range/cooktop, remove 2 screws holding element in place then remove two slip electrical connectors, and remove element. Reverse procedure for installation of replacement.

It was worth the money for that little screw, since I didn't have to run all over trying to find the right one.

ordered new broiler pan

I've ordered parts from you twice now, and both times the service has been absolutely amazing!!!!!

Now, on to how I did this without fire or electrocution:

Turned off breakers.
Grabbed a beer.
Removed two screws holding in plate.
Removed electrical connectors.
Removed two screws holding switch.
Put new switch in place with screws.
Reattached connectors.
Reseated plate & screws.
Turned on power & tested.
Finished beer and felt very manly.

The hardest part was getting the plate to re-seat.

Well I was just guessing the controll switch was bad so I ordered a new one. So I cut off the power and held the switch close to the old one and changed the wires one at a time matching the connection terminals and cut the power back on and presto it WORKED..The service man wanted to charge me 65.00 dollars just to check it out. I figure I saved about 100.00 dollers plus I learned something.

Very simple---shut off the power, removed six screws, detached five wires, replaced control switch, put everything back together, turned on power and made husband happy!!!

1. Flipped breaker and confirmed no power at cooktop.
2. Removed the Fan grille and removed the two screws holding on the control panel. It tilts up and out to the rear.
3. Unscrewed the 2 screws on top holding old switch to panel.
4. Disconnected the wiring one lead at a time and connected it to the new switch in the same spot. There are 5 wires total and I carefully used needle nose pliers to remove reluctant wires and to adjust connectors if they were loose on new switch
5. Screwed the new switch onto the panel and screwed the panel back onto the cooktop.
6. Tested new switch...worked great.

It was easy. Just remove the two screws, gently pull the housing out, remove the two wiring clips, and then reverse the process with the replacement.
