JGD8130ADB Jenn-Air Cooktop - Instructions

I just put the grate pads in the bottom of the grate. The repair was a snap.

Remove 7 screws to remove cover. Disconnect ignitor wire. Unscrew gas supply. Twist burner head to remove (can be difficult). Reverse procedure.

Original bumper pads NOT glued into the burner grates. Hence they began to disappear during routine use and cleaning. Very simple repair with a little glue this time around. But fairly expensive for a very small part set

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.

Been looking for grate pads for 10 years and finally found you site and part # WPL 814323.
Wasn't sure that they would fit but couldn't even find new grates so decide to try them --Fit perfect.
Kitchen aide stove top gas with round grates. Used the drill to clean out the holes with broken pads still embedded.With clean holes the new pads just screwed in like the originals. Thank you very much

Even though the ceramic insulator looked new (white), it had become non-functional, replacement was simple, 2 phillips screws, reassemble and test. Now I will have to order the other 3.

cleaned out pad area with an awl. then the pads just slide in.

1st I found the 2 screws that held the control panel in place. Then the switch slid out of it's pocket, 3 wires pulled, and the new one replaced. The best part of this repair is finding this site. Other sites did not have adequate pictures of the switch. On this site I was able to recognize and double check (by bringing the switch to my monitor) before I bought. I bookmarked this site! Thanks!
[PS. I revised my story, but would give you guys more like 4-5 stars! ]

The Model number could no longer be read clearly on the stove electric grill with a down draft vent system, so all I had was the size and looks of the old grease/air filter. I was very happy to come across Parts Select by way of an amazon.com search. Their web site's design and the parts pictures with detailed descriptions made it easy to find exactly what I needed. The grease filter fit perfectly in no time. I have successfully used my cooking grill again.

The only fan switch available for Jenn-Air was electrically compatible (amps, high/low control) with my 15 year old unit, but the existing mounting plate needed to be modified. The original switch was an undermount and the replacement switch snapped in from the top. This modification required a 1/2" drill bit and a file to square off the edges. Since the plate was cast from soft aluminum, it was fairly easy. Also, one of the spade connections needed to be changed (part supplied). It now looks good and works fine.

The lids are fastened to the underside of the unit by rivets....3 to each lid.
I used a cordless drill and small drill bit to drill through the rivets to remove the old lids and remains of the rivets.
The new lids are easily fastened back using a rivet gun ( about $20 in Lowes) using small 1/8th aluminum rivets.
No real problems.
1 thing to note is that the drill bit will pass through the old rivet by about 1/4 inch before it comes up against the upper level of the BBQ floor so do not drill any deeper.The aluminum rivets are easy to drill through and you will easily feel when the rivet is drilled through.

I used the other good burner assembly to isolate the problem to the igniters or the igniter block. I ordered both parts from Parts Select. They shipped the parts promptly and after 10 minutes of install time, the burners worked flawlessly.
Thank You Parts Select.

The flame holder twists about 1/2 inch to left and lifts off. I removed the two screws that holds the igniter on and removed it and installed the new igniter.
There was one complication: when I put it back together, there was no spark. I removed the ground wire and cleaned and scraped it and replaced it and still no spark. But, for no apparent reason the spark returned and has been okay since.

Simply remove the box containing the two right burners. Access the igniter by removing about 8 screws and pull the coupler for the igniter off with a pair of needel nose pliers. Replace with new igniter using the same tool. Re-assemble the box by screwing in the screws and give it a try. Worked great. Once slight hitch, be sure you don't leave a second screw driving in the box. As it will raddle. So I had to remove and reassemble twice. I'm not a surgeon! Thanks for the fast delivery!

I haven't done anything yet because the part I am replacing is different from the one i have to order. I guess you might say I am getting screwed. I purchased the grill burner for $234.00 plus tax and shipping. Then realized I needed to purchase an igniter. My original one came with 2 igniters attached to the burner part. These new ones are all separate. $55 and $49 if i remember correctly. I ordered just the larger one and I am hoping I do not have to buy the smaller one. The large igniter will not even arrive until the end of August that is 6 weeks after the order date. I was told by the customer service rep it would only take 10 days to get it to the warehouse.The price tag is over $500 just to replace the grill burner on my stove top.That is some rip off. Otherwise my stove top is in excellent condition.
