Jenn-Air JED8430 Cooktop: How to troubleshoot pilot light issues

Jenn-Air kitchen appliance is considered one of the best cooking helpers. Unfortunately, there comes the time when the owner meets a breakdown. First of all, you should pay attention to the work of electric ignition. In most cases, dirt or food debris will cause this malfunction. Therefore, in order to eliminate it, the part should be thoroughly and well-cleaned, then dried and reinstalled. If this did not give positive results and the gas is still poorly or does not ignite at all, then it is necessary to check the entire electrical circuit. If a break is found, it should be repaired. Igniters are relatively easy to replace. Using a nut driver, remove two small hex-head screws that secure the base of the igniter to the burner compartment, and pull off the wire connectors. Take the igniter to an appliance accessory store, and get a new one based on the brand and model of the stove. Install it in the reverse order it was removed. Each igniter receives electrical current through small wires that connect to a control module near the safety valve. Look for a detached connection at an igniter or the control module, and simply reconnect the wire at the appropriate tab. If the igniter clicks and ignites the gas, you've fixed the problem. If an igniter clicks, but the burner doesn't light, a simple visual test may lead to the problem. It’s important for you to do a thorough diagnosis as soon as possible so you can be able to pinpoint the problem. Some of the issues can be done by replacing the parts yourself. Thankfully, some parts are not as expensive and can take as little as 15 minutes to repair or replace. However, some of the complex replacements or repairs are always best left up to the professionals. Give us a call for more details!
