Jenn Air Oven won't turn on

When your Jenn Air oven won't turn on, first check the touchpad and control panel. If some buttons respond while others do not, the touchpad and control panel, or the touchpad itself, is the most likely problem. If none of the buttons work, the control board is more likely defective because it supplies voltage to the oven's heating and ignition circuits. Inspect the control board for burned or damaged components, and use the wiring diagram and a multimeter to check for voltage at the bake or broil elements or igniters. A damaged bake or broil spark electrode can also prevent a gas Jenn Air oven from starting, especially if its porcelain housing is cracked or the electrode tip is worn. On an electric model, a failed broil element may show holes, blisters, or no continuity. A defective main control board is another possibility if its relay or circuit has failed. Whether your Jenn Air oven is not turning on, has no response, or simply won't start, enter your model number to find the exact replacement part for your specific oven.

01 - Jenn Air Range/Stove/Oven Touchpad and Control Panel

If an oven won't turn on, it's possible the touchpad and control panel is defective. One way to help confirm this is to determine if some touchpad buttons respond while others don't. If some of the buttons still work, then it's quite probable the touchpad and control panel is faulty and requires replacement (if none of the buttons work, a defective control board is more likely the cause of the oven not turning on).

03 - Jenn Air Range/Stove/Oven Control Board

The control board usually provides voltage to all of an oven's components, so a defective board can prevent the oven from turning on. If none of the oven control buttons are working, it's likely the control board is at fault. You can inspect the board for signs of damage or a shorted component. You can also use a multimeter to test for voltage reaching the bake or broil elements or igniters after reviewing the appliance's wiring diagram.

04 - Jenn Air Range/Stove/Oven Bake or Broil Spark Electrode

For bake & broil burner ignition an oven burner spark electrode is used to ignite the gas. The electrode is a device that sits right next to the burner. It functions like a spark plug. As power is applied to it a spark jumps from the spark electrode tip to the to the electrode shield, igniting the gas. If the electrode is broken or worn out the spark may not occur. Visually inspect the electrode assembly for cracks in the porcelain housing or damage to the electrode tip itself. Be aware that a proper ground and the correct polarity of the incoming voltage to the range is necessary for the electrode control to sense the pre...sence of a flame once the burner is ignited. If the burner goes off after ignition check for proper ground and the correct polarity at the wall outlet.

05 - Jenn Air Range/Stove/Oven Broil Element

When the broil element is heating properly, it glows red hot. If the element does not glow red, this indicates that the element is not heating. Often, if the broil element has burned out, it will be visibly damaged. Inspect the broil element for holes or blisters. To determine if the broil element has burned out, use a multimeter to test the element for continuity. If the broil element does not have continuity, replace it.

06 - Jenn Air Range/Stove/Oven Main Control Board

The main control board has relays that send voltage to the bake and broil circuits according to the user settings and sensor input. If one of the control board relays shorts closed, the control board may send continuous voltage to the heating circuit. If the oven continues to heat after it is turned off, the main control board is likely defective. If the control board is defective, replace it.
