Range Triple Radiant Element Surface W10823718

inner element stopped working. took the front panel off and used multimeter to check resistance. it showed open for the inner ring. took the top off, then took the triple element off. visually confirmed broken heating element. replaced element. the repair was straight forward once you figure out where the screws are (8 bottom of front panel, two on each side, then for top 3 each side, 2 on the back -- watch out and don't drop those two). I downloaded service manual from servicematters.com, but it's not helpful, except the wiring diagram.

the quality of Jenn Air range is low. when I bought it, it came with a non-working element. sears replaced the range and now just 1.5 years another one out. once I opened it, there was a loose screw, and two places had missing screws. wire connectors were hard to connect/disconnect.

I pulled the unit out from the wall. Took the screws out along the sides. Removed screw holding the front controls loose. First I changed the control switch which was very easy. Two screws and a couple of wires. The burner was a bit more tricky. I had propped the glass cook top up so I would not have to disconnect to many wires. Took out the screws holding the burner in place and disconnected the wires. I removed the clips from the old burner and attatched them to the new burner, then reinstalled the new burner. The only real problem was the wires. I forgot the order of a couple of them. I was able to check on line and get the correct order.

It was fairly easy if you a handyman there is a few things to to figuer out like taking the glass top off once that was done and you can see the elements it's easy to do from there.
