James F San Diego , CA April 10, 2016 Appliance: Model JENNAIR COOKTOP CCG2520W "welded" venturi tube missing o rings broken gas line My 18+ year old Jennair cooktop, PN CCG2520W was in need of a rebuild b/c of a welded venturi tube on the right front [RF] burner. In order to remove the glass top cover, you MUST remove the venturi tube. To do this you have to DRILL-OUT the venturi tube which requires a new venturi and orifice holder. The repair was difficult b/c most of the parts are no longer available. But then I found a ray-of-hope. I was able to find some Jennair (Maytag) parts but they are scarce. Later I found that some BOSCH parts are DIRECTLY compatible with this Jennair cooktop. It was this that allowed me to complete the cooktop rebuild. First, the Bosch Ignition Plug [AP2838563 - 00189324] unit is IDENTICAL to the old Jennair 71001694 part. It’s the exact same size and accepts the same locking ring on the ceramic base. All of the ignitors were replaced since they were ORIGINAL! Also the Bosch Venturi Tube [AP2825260 - 00189023] is identical to the Jennair 71001082 part. The venture tube was “welded” into the orifice holder assy so it couldn’t be removed. This part is EXTREMELY rare and without it, the cooktop must be scrapped! Next, the BOSCH Jet Holder W/jet [AP2832927 - 00415498] is identical to the Jennair 71001086 part. Transferring the old orifice from the Jennair part to the Bosch Holder completes the fix and makes it identical to the original Jennair orifice holder assy. The ¼” gas burner line [71001699] was broken and, unfortunately, there are no replacements available today. So this line had to be fabricated using ¼” aluminum pilot line tubing with compression ferrules to make a new gas fuel line that turned out to be better than the original! On older cooktops, the Jennair “o-ring” [PN 71001077] seals that mount to the underside of the burners are long since deteriorated and substitutes are needed. Found some high temperature Vitron O-rings [75A Durometer, Round, Black, 72 mm ID, 76 mm OD w/ 2 mm Width] available from Amazon. These fit the LARGE burners [71001081] perfectly; simply cut them for the small burners. So, bottom line, I have a rebuilt Jennair cooktop that works better then when it was new! Hope this helps somebody with their Jennair re-build effort. =This is original work from James Forgione, K6JRF and may be used if it’s used in its entirety.= Read More... 20 People found this story helpful Do-It-Yourself Rating: Repair Time Estimate: 2+ hours Tools: Screwdrivers, Socket Set
Charles W Granger , IN December 16, 2014 Was told 2 burners had no ignition or gas and 2 others had gas but wouldn't ignite Bought a Thermador PRSE48" dual fuel range from Craigslist really cheap because it didn't work. Did a little research and decided to overhaul most of the top (gas) end. For what I paid for it it was worth it and I'd have a good stove with new components. Replaced the griddle thermostat, ignition micro switches, ignition re-igniter box, installed fixing kit with 2 new potentiometers, both solenoids, and gas regulator. Had to replace 2 gas lines, all 4 jets, and one brass nut that were corroded or damaged in removal. Replaced all igniters and clips and main oven door seal. Kept the wiring harness. The only issue was the directions for re-igniter are WRONG. Don't connect wires to the same "number" as directions say, instead connect them in the same "position" as the old one. I connected them to the number as directions say for 4-burner but the ignition won't stop after lighting - it just keeps ticking away. Pulled it apart and put them to the same position (it says to do for a 6-burner) and then it worked correctly. Spent about 2 months cleaning it - it was filthy inside and out. Now it looks great and everything works perfectly. A like-new 48" Thermador for the cost of parts. 90% of the time spent was cleaning. I'm just a DIYer and have never owned a stove like this or overhauled a stove before and it wasn't a bad project.

Chuck T Santa Rosa , CA December 15, 2014 Appliance: Thermador Cooktop SGCV36G02 Igniter had to be replaced: it sparked for a long time and sometimes the spark went down instead of across to the burner Removed old igniter, attached new one to old wire. Did not have to disassemble cooktop, just the one burner. Took ten minutes. The burner was held in place by a wide circular nut, too wide for a screwdriver, but a 2" fender washer fit the grooves and acted as a screwdriver, Read More... 22 People found this story helpful Do-It-Yourself Rating: Repair Time Estimate: Less than 15 minutes Tools: Pliers

Jennifer B Sebastopol , CA February 27, 2017 Igniter issues. On dissasembly the venturi was fused into the jet holder which caused the whole assembly to spin and ruined (spun) the burner supply tube in the process. Apparently not uncommon as the Appliance Parts Pros website popped up all of the parts I needed. Started as a junior nightmare and ended painlessly.
