Jenn-Air Cooktop C236B-E Element will not heat

This is a high-heat ceramic light receptacle used in select appliances. It provides a safe, insulated socket for the appliance light bulb so you can reliably see inside during use or service.

• Holds and insulates the bulb in high-temperature areas
• Restores lighting when the bulb is good but the light won't turn on
• Helps correct loose, flickering, or intermittent interior light
• Common signs include a cracked/scorched socket or arcing at the bulb base

• Disconnect power before servicing; allow the appliance to cool completely
• Access may be from inside the cavity or from the rear panel, depending on model
• Transfer wires one at a time to the new receptacle to maintain correct connections
• Install only the bulb type and wattage specified by the appliance manufacturer

This terminal block provides an insulated, secure junction for incoming power or harness leads inside the appliance. Replacing a cracked, loose, or heat-damaged block restores a safe, reliable connection and helps prevent arcing or intermittent power.

• Creates a fixed, insulated junction between external supply wires and internal appliance wiring
• Maintains tight screw-lug connections to minimize resistance and heat buildup
• Helps ensure steady power delivery to controls, motors, and heaters
• Common indicators of failure: melted/discolored block, burning odor, visible arcing, loose or stripped terminals, intermittent or no power

• Disconnect power at the breaker and verify zero voltage before servicing
• Photograph/label wire positions; transfer one lead at a time to the new block
• Tighten terminal screws firmly; do not overtighten into the insulator
• Inspect wire ends/ring terminals and strain relief; replace any heat-damaged components per the service information
