Kathy November 08, 2012 for Model Number JGR8890ADP Double oven Jenn Air top oven does not heat up though the broiler works. light also out on top oven . bottom oven everything working. The top oven lets me set temp but then stays at pre-heat 100 and does nothing. I see when I turn the bottom oven on there is a flame underneath a metal plate that goes on which the top oven does not do this. I tried to unscrew the (2) screws on plate for top oven I cant even move them. What do you think the problem is and what parts would I need to order?
1 Answer Hello Kathy, The first thing you want to check is you ignitor. You should have 120vac to the igniter when it is supposed to come on. Also do an amp draw on the igniter. The amp draw should be between 3.2 and 3.6 amps. If it is lower than this then you need to replace igniter W11596211. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3. Here is a link on how to use a multi-meter. http://forum.appliancepartspros.com/oven-repair-including-ranges-cooktops/4810-how-check-continuity-ohmmeter.html Read More...
Don B. June 15, 2011 for Model Number SF114PXSW1 I need to change the oven sensor. Where is it located and how do I get to it? Also I need the part number.
1 Answer Hello Don! The oven sensor is part number WPW10181986. Here is some information that may help with the installation, thanks! Remove screws from inside the oven ( some newer models like Frigidaire/Kenmore have the 2 screws on the outside at the back ) and pull towards you the inoperative sensor. If the connection on the sensor or the wire harness is not applicable to your model, use two ceramic high temp wire connectors to splice the wires together. Strip insulation on each wire approximately 1/2" from the end. On some models, the sensor may be serviced from the front, on others the hole in the oven liner is not large enough for the wire nut/connector to pass through and must be serviced from the rear. Important: Make sure the wire nuts/connectors are completely through the insulation and not touching the back of the oven cavity. Once the wire nuts/connectors are properly positioned, reinstall the sensor screws removed earlier. Read More...
