JC Penney Stove/oven controls don't work
When your JC Penney stove or oven controls are not working, start with the knobs before replacing an electronic component. A cracked or stripped timer knob is the most likely cause when the timer will not engage or rotate its stem. Next, check the thermostat knob, which must grip the thermostat stem to adjust oven temperature. A damaged selector knob can prevent you from choosing bake, broil, or another cycle, while a worn control knob may slip on a switch or gas valve stem instead of turning it. These problems can make the stove controls not working, oven controls not working, or oven buttons and settings appear unresponsive even when the range has power. If the knobs are intact and the controls stopped responding after a power outage or surge, turn off power to the JC Penney range for several minutes, then restore it to perform a power reset. Inspect each knob and its stem for cracks, worn slots, or slipping. Enter your model number to find the exact replacement timer knob, thermostat knob, selector knob, or control knob for your specific JC Penney range, stove, or oven.
