I am having a problem getting parts information and installation information about my Jenn Air electric cook top and I am hoping you can assist me.

I have a Jenn Air JED 8230 ADB electric cook top. The left side only ( as you face the unit) has an "intermittent heat problem. I have replaced both "infinite" switches and tightened all exposed electrical connectors on the coil element cartridges. The intermittent heat problem is only when I use the coil element cartridges. When I use the "grill element only" the heat is constant and it works fine.

If I "prop up" one side of the cartridge with a piece of aluminum foil where it raises one side of the cartridge while plugged in, the burners work fine.

I have interchanged the "coil element cartridge' ( I have two of them ) and the heat intermittent problem continues.

Can you advise me what is causing the intermittent problem?
Thank you

Hi Bill,

Most likely there is a loose connection in the female receptacle (#15 on the diagram).

Here are the breakdown diagrams and Replacement parts for JENN-AIR JED8230ADB | AppliancePartsPros.com

Gene,
Thanks for the suggestion. If the problem is a loose female connection ( part #15) then the grille assembly should have the same problem as the coil cartridge and it does not. This problem only accurs when I use the coil cartidge. Thanks again

What about the grille cartridge?

Also post the model numbers of the cartridges. You can find them on the bottom.

Grille cartridge has 3 flat spade connectors and one round connector. The round connector is off-set one space from the cartridge spades.

The numbers on the bottom of the cartridge are: Model A-100
OR CAE1000ACX OR A-100C
Thanks

I believe the grille cartridge and the coil cartridge have different wiring diagrams. The model number A-100 is for the coil cartridge. What is the model number of the grille cartridge?

As far as I can see from the wiring diagram and pictures the flat spades on the coils cartridge and the grille cartridge are in a different position to the round connector (ground).

I would check the female receptacle.
