For Whirlpool Indicator Light Kit (Part Number: OEM12271320)

Charles M. for Model Number Jenn Air C301

Regarding the Indicator Lights on my C301, of which there are three; 2 on left Control Escutcheon, 1 on right. Having installed new Infinite Switches, I now can't figure out what holds the Indicator Light sockets in position beneath the Escutcheons. Do the red lenses themselves protrude through the Escutcheons to fit into and retain the sockets beneath? If that's the case, apparently the bottoms of my lenses have broken, or sheared off, to the point they won't reach and fit into the socket openings. Do the sockets' "butterfly wings" come into play somehow? I am absolutely puzzled. Thanks for any guidance before I order new lenses !!

Hello Charles, You are correct that the LED light assembly 715396K clips onto the lens to stay in place. The "butterfly wings" hold pressure against the panel so it will not drop off. If the lenses do not have a "ridge" at the bottom for the LED assemblies to clip to they will need to be replaced. If the LEDs have any damage, they will need to be replaced.

Don, It's probably a coincidence, but you'll need the Surface Unit Switch (infinite switch). The L1 to P contact in the switch is stuck closed, and the light remains on. You'll need to check the series number on the serial plate, there are two different switches for that model number. If the series number is 1 or 2, you'll need the 700855K/ 700855K. If the series number is 3 or higher, you'll need the W11120795/WPY703147. Both switches are in stock and available at this time. Thanks,

Hlin, When you push the light through the panel, you will slide the tabs on the indicator light over the red cap. The cap should have slots on the end of it to hold the light in place.

Hello Hlinbr, When the part leaves our warehouse on Monday it will take 2 to 5 business days on average depending on where you are and where the warehouse it ships from is located.

Aartie, To remove the indicator light you will remove the air grill. On the back side of the control there will be 2 screws down in the vent area, remove the screws. Carefully lift the control assembly up and then tilt it back. Do not pull to hard as the wires could come loose. This will give access to the indicator light to replace.

Hello Ray, There are two lenses in the kit to cover more than one series. Only one will be used on your model. Only one light is included.

Thomas for Model Number C201

what does the indicator lamp attach to. I can buy a pair of new indicator lamps with the order I am preparing with switches, burners, ceramic blocks, knobs etc. but the ones I have inside look just like the new ones with some tabs fins on top and mine work but they don't seem to attach nor snap on to anything. What are they supposed to attach to or snap on to - or how do they attach to the undersurface of the control panel? There doesn't seem to be anything there for them to attach to.

1 Answer

Hello Thomas. The indicator light 715396K slides into the slots around the lens opening and the lip on the top of the light locks the light into place. Hope this helps.
