Electric Jenn-Air & Other Center Vent Stoves & Cooktops

These stoves are all repaired the same as above as far as elements, switches, & terminal blocks. Some Jenn-Airs will be coil elements, and others are glasstop, in either a cartridge style or traditional top style. Cartridge styles can be taken apart and repaired. Common to all styles, whether stove or cooktop, is that you have a vent and fan to contend with.

The fan and is usually mounted underneath in the cabinet if it is a cooktop or behind the access panel in the front of the stove. Jenn-Airs do not have bottom drawers on it’s stoves, but instead an access panel to gain access to the fan and vent. If you need to slide these stove units out, you usually need to un-hook the vent.

If your problem is vent not working, you have quick checks that can be done on both the fan and switch. At the fan, check for voltage, if no voltage is present at the fan, then the switch or wiring to your switch or wiring from your switch is the problem. If voltage is present at the fan and the fan is not running, the problem is in your fan. You can do an OHM test on the motor to verify your results. Of course, make sure the correct voltage is going to your stove or cooktop first.

Electric Induction Cooking

We at C’s Repair have not worked on any induction style cooking units. The technology has been around for awhile, but has been expensive. In the last few years, technology has finally started bring the price down and more units are being sold commercially and for the home.

An induction cooking element works differently then any other type of electric cooking. Instead of an element heating up, then heating a pot or pan, which then heats your food, an induction element heats the pan or pot directly. It uses sophisticated electronics to generate electromagnetism directly to your pan or pot. This energy is instantaneous and the heat is changed by changing the strength of the electromagnetic field.

The key to it’s cooking ability is to have the right kind of cookware. It does not have to be fancy, it just has to be magnetic material. The material has to be a “ferrous” material. A good iron or steel pot will work perfectly. Aluminum, copper, and pyrex will not work on a induction cooker.

Also, as soon as you turn the element off or remove the pot/pan from the element, heat generation stops, and your element is basically cold. You can even put a twenty dollor bill between the element and your pan and it won’t burn.

It is a neat, efficient, and very fast way to heat/cook. As technology improves even more and prices drop more, you will start seeing more and more of these units. Both in cooktops and stoves.
