CVG316B Jenn-Air Cooktop - Instructions

New front burners fit well, but back ones had just enough variance in tne angle of the gas-supply tube that it would not fit the mounting bracket holding both burners in place. I had to grind a small flange off of the bracket so the gas tube would clear. Once that was done the burners worked well.

This range is about 17 years old and the igniter on the left set of burners had failed in the first month of use. A warranty repairman came, made a big mess, marred the adjacent counter top, spent a lot of time badmouthing Jenn-Air and left without fixing the problem. We have been manually lighting these burners all this time. Now that ... Read more I am retired, I have set about repairing everything I can get my hands on just to have things to do. I always did this when I was young but got too busy with career and family. One big help is doing things now is you can Google a problem, find parts and instructions how to make the repair which is much easier than all the research you used to have to do. This repair is easy but time consuming due to all the screws that you have to remove to get to the igniter and the controller in the back. Since one side worked I was confident that the controller was good but the problem was only the igniter on the left side. This range is a dual fuel unit and has a downdraft connection so sliding it out from the wall is also time consuming. First pull the breaker at the electric panel. Remove the bottom plate and disconnect the flexible downdraft connection. Hopefully, you have enough flexible gas line so you can slide stove out to reach the back without having to shut off the gas and removing the connection. Next you remove the grills and burners. Then you have to remove all the screws connecting the top of the stove. There are nuts and washers that surround the gas jets that you can remove to partially lift the drip pan so you can unscrew the old igniter and install the new one. Next remove the back and see where the igniter control is located. Disconnect the old wire, install the new wire in the guides and insert in the controller. At this point all you need to do is put everything back where it was. This does not take a lot of know-how just time and patience. It makes you wonder why an "expert" could not have done this easily.

The spark module pulses a stepped up voltage to all four burner sparks at the same time regardless of which burner you want to ignite. I read that this part lasts about 10 years. I don't cook much and it lasted 13 years. On my Magic Chef the part is behind the right side wall panel. Lift the range top,remove all the screws that hold t ...

I did not have the model number and thought I picked the correct knob by the picture. I sent back the knobs and one of my knobs to see if the company can match.

pried off the old knob with hubby's needle nosed Leatherman pliers and popped the new one on!

Simply pulled the old filter out and put the new filter in.

Hardest part of repair was ordering part. The knob arrived the day after my placing order. Not rocket science to replace burner knob.

Old filter allowed too much air flow causing exhaust fan to go off....installed new filter in exhaust chamber...release clip on old filter and install new filter (at an angle) in the exhaust box....clamp down clip on edge of filter and job is complete

This down draft filter was just what I was looking for. The big box stores (Home Depot and Lowe's) do not carry this size filter. Thanks,

Inserted new knob on to the stem... very difficult operation taking a great amount of skill. ;-)

Replaced the old knobs with the new ones.

removed rear cover where the spark module was and change it

removed two hexigon screws--removed old burner---placed new burner into stove socket--replaced two screws. Done in about five minutes. Most time used to fine right size socket to fit screws! Fast delivery--easy repair--AND it works!

The issue: the burners were abused by the previous tenant, the burnt grease was clearly visible. They would hardly ignite and the smell of gas was always present.The remedy: new burners. They were hard to find, I was not completely sure about to stove model (it could be quite a search to find the right ones). There is a front burner and a ... Read more back one. I was not sure from the diagram about the back one, so I called Partselect and someone answered the call right-away. The burners arrived a few days later, and they were the correct ones. The burners are not Jenn-air specific, it looks like several brand names use the same ones. The installation was extremely easy, a few hex screws. The stove is like new. I highly recommend Partselect.

I removed the protective grid over the filter and fan, turned the clip that held the filter in place and removed it. I placed the new intact filter for my antiquated Jenn-aire in its place, replaced the protective grid, and am happily continuing to cook on my functional cook top.Thank you.
