nothing fit
I got the switch wired correctly, with much cussing. It worked - burner heated. But I couldn't get the new switch to fit back with the old ones neatly enough to close the box and secure it. Got help from someone with stronger hands but still couldn't get it to fit. On top of that I found that the new knobs didn't fit on the new switch - or even on the old switches. The old knob didn't fit on the new switch either. I gave up. Removed the new switch and took out the corresponding burner. Still have 3 burners that work.
Repair folks had warned me that I couldn't get parts. They didn't say that it would look like there was a replacement part but it wouldn't fit!

The old switch became brittle with age and broke. There were two plastic cylinders that held a spring loaded bearing to operate the contact point. It became brittle because of age and it broke.
I first turned off the power to the range. The switch was housed inside a control panel in the front center part of the range. Two screws were removed and the housing was lifted forward and then off The switch was held in place by metal friction washers. Those were removed by a screwdriver and then the switch slide off the posts that they were attached to. The switch had two wires and I simply replaced the wires onto the new switch and placed the switch back onto the posts. The friction washers were pressed back over the posts to hold the switch in place and then the housing was screwed back into place.

Change the Oil/Grease Filter
It is so easy. Once I found the right size of filter from the website, I ordered it right away. It came in 3 days and I just need to take out the old one and insert the new one. No instruction is necessary. By the way, the price of the filter is one third of that from Jenn-air.

one of our indicator lights came broken when we purchased the cooktop
We removed all the screws in order to remove the top cooktop frame. Once we did, the bottom part of the cooktop fell! It was being held up by the vent that goes underneath. My son and I had to get underneath to push up while my husband tried to position the cooktop back over the counter top ledge. It was VERY heavy. This was difficult and needless to say, it fell a couple more times before we finally were able to keep it on the ledge. We had to turn off the electricity, pulled the element out and disconnected the two wires, installed the new light and then placed the cooktop cover back in place by screwing all the screws. We did test the light before screwing on the cooktop cover JUST in case...:) It worked!

The original grease filter was damaged in our dishwasher (it is quite fragile) and needed to be replaced.
1. Remove the exhaust vent cover, located in the center of the top of the range. It just lifts off.
2. Swivel the clamp 90 degrees to release the filter.
3. Remove the filter and throw it away
4. Place new filter in place and lock in place by rotating the swivel clamp back 90 degress.
5. Replace the exhaust vent cover

Some file and drill work required to make switch fit. Screwed switch in place. Untaped snap connectors and attached to switch. Checked for function and and restored control area.
