Parts for Jenn-Air JES8850AAB: 02 - Control Panel / Top Assy Parts

The Infinite Switch Kit (Dual) is an OEM part for Whirlpool ranges and cooktops. This kit includes the dual infinite switch, which allows for the independent control of two heating elements on the same burner. It provides precise control over the temperature settings for cooking surfaces, ensuring optimal performance.

Causes of a bad infinite switch can include wear and tear from frequent use, electrical surges, or exposure to moisture and spills. These issues can affect the switch's ability to regulate the burner temperature effectively.

Symptoms of a bad infinite switch include:

• One or both burners not heating up or heating inconsistently
• Burners staying at a fixed heat level regardless of the setting
• Difficulty in adjusting the burner temperature
• The switch feeling loose, stuck, or unresponsive

This OEM part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models.

The infinite switch is an OEM replacement part for Whirlpool cooktops. Located inside the panel it helps monitor temperature and functions through sensing heating elements and bake cycles. Precise cooking depends on its calibrated feedback.

Causes of a faulty cooktop interface switch include wire damage from heat exposure, excess baked-on residue insulating contacts, or repeated temperature fluctuations degrading components.

Symptoms include:

• Inability to preheat or maintain set cooking temperatures
• Failure to advance cycles or randomly turning off
• Error messages flashing on the control panel

This OEM part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models.

The Surface Element is an OEM component for Whirlpool ranges. It is responsible for heating the cooktop surface to the desired temperature selected by the user. Made of durable metal coil construction, the element surface quickly distributes heat evenly across burners to boil, sauté or simmer foods effectively. 

Causes of a bad element includes baked-on grime or mineral buildup inhibiting heat transfer or damage due to the use of improper cookware that has cracked or warped the coils over time.

Symptoms of a bad element includes:

• Burners failing to heat up fully or taking a long time 
• Inconsistent or uneven heating across coils
• Hotspots or deadzones in cooking areas
• Visible damage like cracks or bends in coil construction

This OEM Whirlpool part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, and Kenmore range models.

This surface heating element replaces a damaged or worn top burner coil to restore cooking heat on electric ranges. It installs into the stove's cooktop receptacle and provides a reliable heating surface for pots and pans. What it does:

• Heats cookware on the cooktop for boiling, frying and simmering
• Restores power to a burner that no longer heats or only heats intermittently
• Replaces elements with visible breaks, burn spots, or inconsistent temperature
• Works with the range's burner receptacle to complete the heating circuit

• Disconnect power to the range at the breaker or unplug before servicing.
• Replace by lifting the cooktop or removing the element from its receptacle per your model's service instructions.
• Ensure terminals are fully seated and secured; inspect wiring and receptacle for damage and replace if necessary.

This factory screw secures appliance components to their mounting points. Replace missing, worn, or stripped hardware to restore a tight fit, proper alignment, and quieter operation across the affected assembly.

• Fastens panels, brackets, covers, or internal parts to the chassis or frame
• Helps maintain alignment and support, reducing rattle, vibration, or looseness
• Replaces missing or damaged screws that have backed out, broken, or stripped
• Restores secure mounting after service when original hardware is lost

• Disconnect power; shut off water or gas supplies before servicing
• Use the correct driver; start threads by hand to avoid cross-threading
• Match length and thread to the original location; do not substitute with longer hardware
• Tighten snugly; do not overtighten into plastic or thin metal

This spring element support secures and stabilizes a range or oven heating element to keep it properly positioned for consistent heating and safe operation. It replaces a worn or broken support that allows an element to sag or vibrate. What it does:

• Holds the bake/broil heating element in the correct position so it heats evenly
• Prevents the element from sagging, touching the oven cavity, or rattling during use
• Helps maintain correct element clearance to reduce arcing and uneven cooking
• Addresses symptoms like a loose or wobbly element, unusual noises, or intermittent heating

• One spring element support

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting any repair to avoid shock or injury
• Handle the heating element and support carefully to avoid bending or damaging the element
• Verify correct part orientation against the oven's wiring diagram during installation

This is a replacement 6-32 x 3/8" screw used to secure panels and components on compatible Whirlpool appliances. It restores proper fastening for loose or missing fasteners so parts stay aligned and stable. What it does:

• Secures trim, panels, brackets or small components to the appliance frame
• Stops rattling or movement caused by a missing or stripped screw
• Helps maintain proper alignment of control panels and access panels
• Provides the correct thread engagement for safe, stable fastening

• One replacement screw (6-32 x 3/8")

• Disconnect power before accessing internal components
• Use the correct screwdriver or nut driver to avoid stripping the head
• Thread carefully and do not overtighten to prevent damage to threads or components
• Keep removed hardware organized and compare sizes before installation
