S156 Jenn-Air Wall Oven - Instructions

Just wanted to thank you for the great service. I ordered the part on Tuesday, it shipped on Wednesday and arrived on Thursday. I installed the switch in under :10 minutes on Friday and the old Jenn Air grill is running like new again.
Many thanks!

We unplugged the range from the wall first so as not to get electrocuted. We removed the face of the control panel by removing the screws and 2 hex nuts underneath that hold it in place, and removed the trim. Then we disconnected the malfunctioning control switch, taking note of what order the wires go in. Hooked the new switch up and popped it through the face of the control panel. We then put the trim back, and reattached the control panel with the screws. Very easy!!

I removed the fan cover; took out the two screws holding the escutcheon plate on and started to lift out the plate when I made contact with the bracket, thereby popping the circuit which I had neglected to shut off. No problem. I removed the existing fan/light switch, salvaging one of the 'push' nuts. I inserted the switch into the new plate, pinned it in with the salvaged nut plus a similar one that I had got at Lowe's; reattached the escutcheon to the stove frame; turned on the power and all worked perfectly. My experience with PartsSelect was a 10 out of 10-got the right parts the first try; they fit well; repair went smoothly, and the head of the kitchen is happy.

1. Unscrewed glass cover on bulb
2. Removed old bulb
3. Screwed in new bulb
4. Replaced glass cover
5. Mixed drink & baked cupcakes

removed the old by pulling it out of track and replaced it with the new filter

Removed the old switch by essentially destroying it with a screw drive and pliers. Had to drive to the hardware store to purchase push nuts that fit.

It was easy to get apart. I drew out a schematic of where the wires were so I could put them back in the same place. I plugged them all back up and it worked! Only problem was, there was a dead mouse behind the panel! He had not chewed anything, so the unit just went out from age.

removed two screws, pulled up hardware / components, unplugged the old switch, (remember to switch off the circuit breaker!) the two 'fasteners' that are supposed to keep the switch tied to the cover panel did not fit, so i had to use epoxy to secure the switch. no problem though.

First I removed 7 screws, using a Philips head screwdriver, to allow access to the inside of the oven door. I then removed several more screws to separate the panel holding the seal so that I could remove it and replace it with the new seal. Once the seal was in place I re-inserted all the screws to the panel and door to complete the repair. The knobs just slipped on to replace the ones that broke and fell off.

1. Flipped breaker and confirmed no power at cooktop.
2. Removed the Fan grille and removed the two screws holding on the control panel. It tilts up and out to the rear.
3. Unscrewed the 2 screws on top holding old switch to panel.
4. Disconnected the wiring one lead at a time and connected it to the new switch in the same spot. There are 5 wires total and I carefully used needle nose pliers to remove reluctant wires and to adjust connectors if they were loose on new switch
5. Screwed the new switch onto the panel and screwed the panel back onto the cooktop.
6. Tested new switch...worked great.

A little difficult getting the old retaining washers off of the old part and placing the new washers on the new switch. I ended up using a nutdriver on the retaining nut and hitting it with a hammer. This worked great!! Make sure to record which wire color goes where on the old switch before removing wires. TURN OFF POWER BEFORE!! This is 220V. It can hurt you bad.

I've ordered parts from you twice now, and both times the service has been absolutely amazing!!!!!

Now, on to how I did this without fire or electrocution:

Turned off breakers.
Grabbed a beer.
Removed two screws holding in plate.
Removed electrical connectors.
Removed two screws holding switch.
Put new switch in place with screws.
Reattached connectors.
Reseated plate & screws.
Turned on power & tested.
Finished beer and felt very manly.

The hardest part was getting the plate to re-seat.

Not much to tell about installing a new grill grate.
Partselct.com was very prompt and efficient in sending out the part.

Well I was just guessing the controll switch was bad so I ordered a new one. So I cut off the power and held the switch close to the old one and changed the wires one at a time matching the connection terminals and cut the power back on and presto it WORKED..The service man wanted to charge me 65.00 dollars just to check it out. I figure I saved about 100.00 dollers plus I learned something.

Very simple---shut off the power, removed six screws, detached five wires, replaced control switch, put everything back together, turned on power and made husband happy!!!
