Jenn Air Electric stove burner not working

If your Jenn Air electric stove burner is not working, the problem is usually a failed the surface element switch, surface element board, incoming power issue, coil surface element, or radiant surface element. the surface element switch helps start the burner, while the surface element switch sends voltage to the coil. If one burner fails, swap it with another element of the same size. If the problem follows the element, test the coil or radiant surface element or radiant element for continuity and replace it if it is damaged or open. If the other element also does not work, the surface element switch may be defective and must be replaced. When two or more burners stop working at once, the surface element board or its relays may not be supplying power. A Jenn Air electric range also requires about 220 volts, so test the incoming power at the outlet with a multimeter. Make sure the element is fully seated in its receptacle before testing. Whether you search for an electric stove burner not working, stove element not working, or one burner not working, enter your model number to find the exact replacement part for your Jenn Air range.

02 - Jenn Air Range/Stove/Oven Surface Element Switch

The surface element switch sends voltage to the surface element coil. If the switch is defective, the surface element will not work. If there is another element of the same size on the stove, try switching the elements. If the surface element still doesn’t work, the surface element switch is likely defective. The surface element switch cannot be tested or repaired—if you suspect the switch is defective, replace it.

03 - Jenn Air Range/Stove/Oven Surface Element Board

The surface element board has relays that regulate the power supply to the burners. If one or more of the relays fails, the surface element won’t work. If two or more burners fail at the same time, this indicates that the surface element board is likely at fault. If only one surface element won’t work, use a multimeter to test the element for continuity. If the surface element has continuity, the surface element board might be defective.

04 - Incoming Power Problem

It is possible that the range is not receiving proper voltage. Electric ranges require 220 volts of alternating current. If the range is receiving significantly less voltage, the surface element won’t work. To determine if the electrical outlet has sufficient voltage, use a multimeter to test the incoming power at the wall socket.

05 - Jenn Air Range/Stove/Oven Coil Surface Element

First, make sure that the element is pushed all the way into the socket. Second, inspect the surface element for damage. If the element appears to be damaged, replace it. Lastly, use a multimeter to test the surface element for continuity. If the surface element does not have continuity, replace it.

06 - Jenn Air Range/Stove/Oven Radiant Surface Element

The most common cause when the surface element won't work is the radiant surface element itself. The radiant surface element - or heating element - can burn out similar to a light bulb. If the surface element won't work and it doesn't have continuity, it will need to be replaced. The radiant surface element is not repairable.
