CVG4380B Jenn-Air Cooktop - Instructions

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.

removed rear cover where the spark module was and change it

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 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.

Took two screws out of each burner and put new burners in and replaced the screws. A real piece of cake. and they work great. Did not even have to adjust the flames. They were all solid blue and perfect. Bill

Very simple project. Had no clue it was so easy! To test how easy it is, remove the left side grill parts, move the grill parts from the right to the left! I had no idea there was a micro switch in the cooktop to change the fan operation! Parts arrived quickly. Only received one grate of the set, this was quickly fixed by Parts Select Customer service! We only used the grill once, made such a mess! Why did I wait so long to do this! (Over thirteen years!)

Pop off the old and on with the new. Took longer to open the plastic packaging each came in than to remove & replace old knob with new.

I removed the pan and then the burner assembly. Used a nutdriver to remove the old front burner. Replaced with the new part, tightened it on, and tested the new burner. Worked first time. Extremely easy. It took less than 5 minutes to replace.

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 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 the right side panel in place. This replacement can done without opening any gas fittings.

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 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 available replacement switch is a bit too large to fit into the hole on the original face plate which must be kept as it also mounts the 4 burner dials and the “on” light.
A local machine shop was able to make the original hole large enough to accommodate the new switch. Total time to detach and reassemble the original face plate, less than 2 hours. Other than the new switch being black, it looks original. (The 2 smaller face plates provided with the new switch were not needed.)

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.

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