Dave S. November 18, 2011 for Model Number JEC9530ADB

Hello Again, I had a guy come to look at my large 2 element burner. The one that only the indicator light blinks (but doesn't work at all). This guy feels that the controller switch ( the expensive one) is to blame and need to be replaced. What should I do? My first question to this forum suggested that the burner element had a short in the center, and needed changed out. Please Help! Also, If I order parts and the cooktop still doesn't work can I return them? Thanks, Dave S.

Only the grey plastic part of this switch is broken. Is there anyway to buy only that itty bitty cheap piece?

Hi Only P.P. The control is only one part # W10823734. You can purchase some "Loctite - brand " super glue at a local hardware or the wallmart. Thank You.

Hello Ron. The custom control switch W10823734 is not hard to install, but be sure and hook the wires up to the switch correctly. Hope this helps.

Hello, My 2 element burner wont work. However the indicator light that tells you that the burner is still hot is blinking, just blinking. The switch and the 2 element burner was replaced about 18 months ago. I bought the cooktop in 2006. Please advise.

Hi Dave. The dual burner has a sensor probe in the middle of it. It has a sensor switch on the end that the contacts have shorted shut. This burner is part # 74008228. Thank you.

My Jenn Air cooktop (JEC9536ADS) just had the custom control burner stop working. It has 2 elements, outer and inner and they both stopped working at the same time. I thought it was the control, but I hear the unit turning on, but no heat. I think it may be the element. How do I test that? I have the control knob out, but it costs $180 for the control so I would rather know what to replace.
