If all your sensor circuits are correct, sounds like it from your reply, you need to start looking for a shorted wire on the sensor circuit to chassis ground. We're completing a circuit some where in order to turn the light on.

The Way this works is;
You have 120 VAC on the wire to the 1B terminal, Tan wire,
You have 120 VAC on the wire to the 2B terminal, Black wire(s),
at the terminals on the sensor.

When the sensor circuit reaches temp. and closes, it causes the 240 VAC to travel to the hot surface light, and it illuminates, until the temperature cools down , the circuit opens and the light goes out.

Though, I have never had this problem, there is a possibility that your bad infinite switch, could be the culprit,

Replace the bad switch, if the light still remains on, you'll need to start looking for a shorted wire.

Let us know what you find.

Good Luck,

:) :) :)



Joe,

Replacing the switch seems to have solved the problem with the hot surface light. Both are fine now. Thanks so much for all your assistance. You and this forum are a GREAT service.

Taking my time to ensure that I do not brake anything else in the process of doing it, the installation took about 30 minutes.

Here is how I did it on my electric range Jenn-Air JES9900BAS:
1. Turned power off at the Circuit Breaker.
2. Removed Oven door. (Opened door about 20 degrees and lifted it up)
3. Removed 4 hex screws from the control panel. It requires a 1/4 in socket. These 4 screws are visible after you open/remove the Oven door. (There are other Philips stainless steel (SS) screws holding the SS panel clad. I did not need to remove them)
4. I installed one of the oven racks at the highest setting with a 4 inch cardboard box on it (for extra height) to allow me to put down the control panel once all screws are removed. (Thanks for the pointer Joe M.)
5. Holding on to the panel, (so it does not drop by itself) I removed the last 2 side screws from the control panel. (One Philips head screw on each side of the panel) Gently I guided it down and out and put the control panel on the cardboard box.
6. Before I removed the connectors to the switch, I looked and noted how far they were seated in. I also noted the color and orientation of each connector. Removed the connectors to the infinite switch. It is a good idea to take a digital picture before removing the connectors. (It seemed to me that it would be hard to reverse the connectors, however, better safe than sorry.)
7. Removed the front right knob and the 2 Philips screws, behind the knob, holding the infinite switch. Removed the old infinite switch.
8. Reversing the process, I installed the new switch by using the 2 Philips screws from step 7, and reconnecting the 2 electric connectors from step 6. Make sure the connectors are properly seated in the back of the infinite switch.
9. Re-installed the control panel using the 2 side screw from step 5 and then the 4 screws from step 3.
10. Carefully, not to drop it, I reinstalled the Oven door and closed it.
11. After, checking again to make sure that everything was reinstalled and my electric range was the same way it was before I started the job, I proceeded to turn the power back on.

Total success. The custom dual element worked again like when it was brand new.

I would like to thank Joe M from the APP team, again, for his invaluable coaching and help.


Hi,

Are the two Philips head screws on each side of control panel visible? Or they become visible once the four hex screws are removed? I checked my JES9900BAS with your instruction and couldn't find the side screws.

Thank you.

Taeseoplim,

Depending on your installation,

You may have to slide the range out of the cabinet, a few inches(2 to 4 inches).

Open the oven door and you'll see the 4 screws holding the bottom of the control panel to the cabinet frame.

With the unit out of the cabinet far enough, the control panel side mounting screws are visible, and removable with a #2 phillips screwdriver.

Pull down and out on the bottom of the control panel, carefully so you don't pull any wires off the switches or control.

:cool: :cool: :cool:

Thank you Joe.

I think I will try to replace the infinite switch.
I have two more questions.
Is the part posted on the first page an authentic one?
And do all four burners use the same infinite switch?

Thanks.

At one point, this thread involved two different ranges.

If your range is a JES9900***, Then yes the switch listed on the first post, is the correct part number for the right front(custom control) infinite switch,as are the access and replacement instructions.

Here at AppliancePartsPros, we only use Manufacturer authorized parts, so when you order the part, you'll recieve an "authentic" part, we also have a longer warranty on parts.

As for the infinite switches, No, they are not all the same, especially your's,
They are rated by wattage required to properly operate a specific sized element, and they are not interchangeable.

Hope this helps,

Good Luck,

:) :) :)

Yes, my unit is JES9900BAS, and the front right double burner is the one that doesn't ignite.

What is the part number, then?

Thank you, Joe.

Your Right Front burner element/switch assembly,

Part number: AP4369619
Part number: AP4369619


Is the "custom" control switch.

Like I said in the previous post, your access instructions are listed in the responses in the previous posts.

Good Luck,
:) :) :)

Joe,

I've got the switch today and replaced it, but problem persists. What should I do next. The hot temperature sensor lights up, but the burner does not ignite.

Thanks.

Taeseop.

Now we're working on two different things.

The hot surface indicator light, is actuated by a circuit in the sensor, on the burner assembly, a different component than the infinite switch.

As for the burner not heating, with the new switch installed,

Are you sure you wired the new switch properly ?
Were there any damaged wires, from or to the new switch ?
Could you have accidentally disconnected a wire to the burner or the new switch, while you were working on the unit ?

What was actually wrong with the range, before we discussed the parts you needed ?

I've attached the tech sheet, wiring diagram for you, so you can double check everything you've done so far.
