We ordered the (3) elements from Appliance Pros, 2- large, and I-small element. we took them over to the cite and cleaned around the area, removed old not working units and replaced the with the new ones. Tested the elements , inserted the new ones, turned the stove on high, all elements are working fine. We had previously ordered parts for an "Electric Range" from this company, and the Electrician was able to replace the wires that came with the element and it worked out fine. I would recommend "Appliance Pros" for all your repairs. The agents were helpful in getting me the correct Part Number/Serial/Model Numbers I needed for my repairs, and I received the materials in a timely manner.

Front burner of my jen air stovetop sparked up and died

Signed on my laptop, found AppliancePartsPros.com, ordered replacement burner and ordered it at approx. 4:00 PM. At approx. 2:00 PM the next day, FedEx dropped the new burner at my front door. Plugged in the new burner and all fixed in less than 24 hours. Awesome!!!

Burners were interittently non functional

I ordered new elements and connection blocks, ripped out the old ones and installed the new ones. The ordered parts came in quickly and were exactly what I ordered. The most difficult part of the repair was cutting through the little screws that had rusted and corroded over the decades. With old removed, the installation of the new blocks and elements went quickly. One modification was to the support fins on the new heating elements. The element did not seat nicely most likely because the metal catch dish underneath was generic with seating slots that didn't match up with the support fins. I carefully assessed which fins were keeping it from seating level then ground the fins down until they all sat level on the stove top. I was careful that my grinder didn't touch the element itself. The stove now has another 20 years in it.
