Jenn-Air Range 20237 Element will not heat

This ceramic receptacle provides the electrical connection point for a plug-in heating element on a range or cooktop. It mounts inside the cooktop surface and receives the element's terminal prongs to deliver power. Replace this part if the element fails to heat, heats intermittently, or if the receptacle shows signs of burning, arcing, or melting.

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

Oven won't heat or bake properly? A faulty bake element is often the cause. This heating element replacement takes about 5 minutes with basic tools.

This part is a grill element that is used on a cooktop. The element is responsible for supplying heat to the cooking area of the cooktop.

Some users may also notice that the element is not heating evenly or works intermittently. If this is the case, this is a genuine OEM replacement part that is made out of high-quality materials. Unplug the range from the electrical outlet and allow the cooktop ample time to cool down before trying to replace it. Wear work gloves for safety during this process.This part is compatible with cooktops that are manufactured by Jenn-Air and Maytag. It is sold individually and comes from the manufacturer.
