JennAir stove fan malfunction

You will need a volt/ohm meter to accurately diagnose this unit as well as be familiar with it's use and have a basic grasp of electrical theory. To suggest you troubleshoot a device that can kill you should you make 1 mistake would be irresponsible. Your description is pretty vague, if it does "nothing" that suggests it may not be getting power, check the breaker and re set it, even if it looks ok.The breaker may not be marked correctly or marked at all, this is fairly common. Look under the unit to see if it is hard wired or plugged in, check the outlet as well if it has one, wiring can be loose or burnt typically at a connection with a wire nut. The draft motor if not running needs to tested for the correct voltage supplied and if it has this test for any amp draw. If you get voltage but no amp draw its bad, if you get an amp draw but it still wont work its physically worn or electrically shorted to itself internally.. The burners will not be allowed to come on until the draft is proven. As you can see there are many things that can cause a malfunction, at what point in a sequence of operation this occurs is critical to us ascertaining what it may be. Get back with an observation of the units function and sequence of operation , we may be able to assist you better.

I used my grill for

The downdraft is electric so there must be something malfunctioning with it. It is a high volume downdraft fan that is to be vented to the outside. Could it be that something has clogged the vent hole up, not allowing the fan to evacuate the smoke?

While I am not a big fan of Jenn-Air, their fans are usually high quality if they are installed correctly, with the proper vent lines.

Burners are not getting very hot and grill will

It sounds like the air to gas mixture is not right. Under the burners and in the grill there's an adjuster which sets the mixture. Generally the flame burns with a yellow or part yellow colour if the mixture is wrong instead of blue. This causes soot on the outside of saucepans and carbon-monoxide toxic emissions. It can also cause the flame to push out from the grill and go out. Adjusting the mixture is best left to qualified technicians as there is a risk of carbon-monoxide poisoning from it if it's not properly adjusted. You can contact Jenn-Air at http://www.jennair.com/flash.cmd?/#/page/customerservice/ and they will be able to advise you where your nearest technician is to get it corrected.

Soot deposits from my brand new downdraft jenn-air gas cooktop

Is this on LP or Natural gas? If LP was it converted to LP? In any event,The air shutter must be adjusted on the gas burner tube. You need more air. The valve orifice may also need adjusting.

Jenn-Air Expressions Downdraft Gas Stovetop Model CVGX2423B - Unable to Get Nut Off Burner Base to Replace Igniters

It is possible to use WD-40 to help loosen the nuts, but it may not be enough on its own to remove them. Here are some steps you can try to remove the nuts:
  1. Turn off the gas supply to the stovetop and unplug the unit from the electrical outlet.
  2. Use a wrench that fits the nut snugly and try turning it counter-clockwise to loosen the nut.
  3. If the nut is stuck, try spraying a generous amount of WD-40 onto the threads of the nut and let it sit for a few minutes.
  4. After the WD-40 has had a chance to penetrate the threads, try turning the nut again with the wrench.
  5. If the nut still won't budge, try gently tapping the wrench handle with a hammer to help loosen the nut.
  6. If all else fails, you may need to call a professional technician to remove the nuts safely.
It's important to note that improper removal of the nuts could cause damage to the stovetop or cause a gas leak, which could be dangerous. If you are unsure about how to proceed, it's best to call a qualified technician to help you.

The burner-on indicator light is flashing for the right front burner on my Jenn-Air 9530ADW electric cooktop and the burner won't come on.

The flashing pilot light probably means the element has failed and it is in need of a repair.

I have a electric cooktop,when I turn on a burner the one next to it turns on as well .If I take the other cartridge and swap it out, it does the exact same thing.It is brand new unit right out of the

sounds like you may have a bad harness or bad infinite switch, you can test it with a multi meter. Surface burners are typically either a coil type, solid type or a ribbon coil as used in smooth top ranges. All of these consist of a heating wire that uses electric current to produce heat. Coil type elements can be checked for continuity by removing them from the terminal block and testing them with a multi-meter.You should also inspect the terminal ends for signs of heat damage or corrosion, and if present, you should replace the terminal block or receptacle at the same time. You will need to remove power from the range to change the terminal block. Solid elements and smooth top elements require raising or removing the main top to gain access. You will need to remove power from the range before lifting the main top. Continuity can then be checked with a multi-meter, once you have removed the wires from the element terminals. On modern electronic control ranges,the oven temperature sensor is the part thatregulates the oven temperature. If it is not working properly it could be the reason why the range or oven won't start. This part can be found inside the oven on the rear wall near the top. Most modern ovens will display a fault code if the oven sensor is at fault. If you think the sensor may be the issue you can check the resistance with a multi-meterbut will need to know the correctresistance of the sensor at room temperature. Remove power from the appliance before performing this test. The infinite switch on the control panel controls the power to each surface element. If you have no heat at an element and the element and terminal block check ok, then you may have a defective infinite switch. Disconnect power to the range and remove the console back panel. Locate the switch and check foroverheated wires or faulty terminals first.Test the switch's contacts for continuity with a multi-meter. If defective, replace the switch.
  1. If the infinite switch does not appear to be defective, then you should check for proper voltage to the switch. This is a live high voltage test and should only be performed by qualified persons.(Locate the suspect switch for testing. Label all wires and terminals before disconnecting. A close up digital photo may be helpful.
  1. On the burner control switch the terminal labeled "P" leads to the burner indicator light. The terminals labeled "H1" and "H2" lead to the burner element and the terminals labeled "L1" and "L2" (sometimes "N1" and "N2") are the power supply wires.
  1. Set yourmultimeterto ohms setting x1. Turn the burner control to the highest temperature setting. Place one probe on pin "L1" and the second probe on pin "H1". The resistance measurement should be very low, zero to twenty ohms. If the test shows high or infinite resistance, the burner switch is defective.
  1. Repeat the step above for the terminals "L2" and "H2".
  1. If the control passes that test, turn the temperature setting to about the middle of the range and repeat the previous two steps. This will test for an intermittent problem with the switch. If the test does not show continuity with very low resistance, the switch should be replaced.
  1. With the switch turned to the "Off" position, the resistance on each of the pairs of terminals tested above should now show no continuity or a reading of infinite resistance.
  1. A test for continuity between "P" and "L1" when the burner control switch is on should show continuity. The light should be on whenever the control is turned on. If your test shows continuity, but the light does not operate, it is likely the bulb has failed.
If the burner switch shows high or infinite resistance, the switch is not passing along current to the burner and so the switch should be replaced. ) Most modern ovens usean electronic control board to control the oven functions. These models will use the control board to operate the oven safety valve on a gas range or oven, and the bake and broil elements on an electric range or oven. If there is no power to the igniter circuit, or the element circuits, then you should check the control board to verify that there is power at the appropriate output relay. These are live voltage checks and should be performed by qualified persons only. If there is no output voltage then the control should be replaced. The oven burner igniter commonly known as the hot surface igniter is used in modern gas oven burners to open the gas valve and to ignite the gas. As the igniter draws electric current it will heat to a high temperature and glow, as well as cause the bi-metal in the oven safety valve to warp and open the valve releasing the gas to be ignited. This sequence normally takes about a minute. Igniters come in both flat and round styles and are very fragile. If the burner does not light then you should check the igniter first. If the igniter does not glow at all, then check for power to the circuit. This is a live voltage check and should be performed by a qualified person. If power is present then the igniter may be open circuit and can be checked for continuity with a multi-meter.If the igniter is glowing, but the burner is not lighting, the igniter may be weak and still be at fault because it requires a certain amount of current draw to open the valve.This check requires the use of an amp meter and should be performed by a qualified person. If the igniter is defective then it must be replaced. http://www.partselect.com/Repair/Range-Stove-Oven/Will-Not-Start/ https://www.repairclinic.com/RepairHelp/How-To-Fix-A-Range-Stove-Oven/18---/Oven-won-t-turn-on- element burner testing range element-short.2-undefined-undefined-0.gif infinite switchs stove-undefined-undefined-2.jpg infinte switch_noheat_03-undefined-undefined-5.jpg oven harness ge-switch-ignition-harness_l-undefined-undefined-9.jpg if the harness is damaged it may effect any of the others down the line as well causing the burners to act up as they are wired in series
