JED8230ADS Jenn-Air Cooktop - Instructions

Pulled out old element and inserted new one (approx. one min.)

After discovering that the Jenn-Air cartridges unplugged from the stove, it could not have been more simple to order a new one from PartSelect (it arrived in two days), unplug the old cartridge, and plug in the new one - and no tools required!

I just popped out the old cartridges, and popped in the new ones. It looks like a new cook top. Thanks so much..I'm thrilled..

Replaced original switch with replacement sent using the part finder tool of PartSelect. Everything went fine EXCEPT the replacement switch's H1 terminal did not correspond to the original switches H1 terminal. Proper terminal connections were as follows:

Original Replacement
----------- -----------------
L1 L1
L2 L2
P P
H1 HC
H2 H1

If you get H1 & HC reversed, controls will work correctly for each of the two cooktop elements individually, but when used together, both will turn on/off simultaneously whenever either switch closes.

Lifted stove top from counter, removed screws securing glass top, removed screws from switch housing. Removed color coded wires from old switch, one at a time, and secured them to the new switch. Put it all back together and just like new. Probably saved $200 service call.

I just removed the old cartridge and replaced with the new one--that easy! Thank you so much

I pulled out the old coil cartridges and inserted the new radiant element cartridges.

First i lifted the old cartridge out then i put the new one in and turned it on and it worked fabulously.

took no more than 30 seconds

I unplugged the old unit and plugged in the new unit. Done in less than 1 minute. It took more time to open the shipping box.

I took out the side of the cooktop that did not work. I had to take off the bottom of the cooktop and checked where electricity was going and not going. Once I found the part that needed replacing, I went on the website, search for Jen-Air cooktops and model number. From the sketch on the website, I was able to order the part needed. I decided to get 2 in order to replace both parts at one time, just in case. The part arrived quickly and was easy to install. The most time I spent was taking the backside off the cooktop and cleaning it.

The contact spades were burned from 10+ years of use and the cook top module was worn. I disassembled the module, taped the top to protect the creamic cook top, sanded the metal and spray painted to restore the original white finish. On the bottom half I replaced one missing pop rivet and cleaned and spray painted the bottom to restore to the original black. When the contact spades arrived, I replaced the contact spades and reassembled the module. It now works and looks like it did when it was new.

removed grill cartridge and replaced it with the new coil element cartridge.

It was like having a brand new range.

Thank you for your fast and reasonable service.

YOU WILL ALWAYS HAVE MY BUSINESS!

This was an extremely simple repair. No screws, no nothing. If you can plug in a lamp, you can swap out this part just as easily.

I placed my order online and received the replacement parts the very next day - thank you so much!!
The hardest part of this repair job was removing it from the boxes! Pulling out the old cartridge and inserting the new was as easy as could be!

The repair would have been very easy if the diagram of the cook stove control plate had indicated that the plate itself was discontinued, and either a new stove top would be needed, or a person who could do some metal cutting. There are 2 screws that hold the control plate down, and 2 screws each for each of the control posts, then just unplug 3 prongs from the damaged switch. Easy. However, when I saw there were 2 different types of face plates included with the fan switch, that were nothing like the original plate and couldn't fit over or with it, and after going back on line to the diagram and finally finding that the face plate was discontinued, I knew I would have to improvise. I took both the new plate to use as a template for the hole for the switch, the new switch and original plate to my neighbor who does metal work. He cut a new hole in the old plate, I put the switch through it and reassembled the controls and it works fine.
