JennAir Appliance Repair

JennAir Products We Repair

We repair JennAir ranges, rangetops, wall ovens, cooktops, downdraft vents, built-in and column refrigerators, undercounter units and dishwashers. We work on both RISE and NOIR design lines, plus older Jenn-Air models with the hyphen in the name.

Louis J. Jenn started the company in Indianapolis in 1947. In 1961, JennAir built the first self-venting downdraft range. Maytag bought the brand in 1982. Whirlpool took it over in 2006 when it bought Maytag. RISE has a more commercial look. NOIR is sleek with black glass.

JennAir Cooking Problems

Downdraft vent weak or dead. The downdraft pulls smoke down through the cooktop. When suction drops, the filter is often clogged with grease. If the fan won't run, the blower motor or switch may have failed.

Burners won't light. Grease on the igniter tip is the most common cause. A failing spark module, which fires all the igniters, is next. Nonstop clicking after a spill usually means moisture got into a spark switch.

Wall oven won't hold heat. Look at the bake element, the temperature sensor and the convection fan. A control board can fail too. We test the cheaper parts first.

The two design lines look very different. RISE has brushed brass touches and a knurled handle. NOIR uses black glass and stainless steel. Knobs, handles and trim are ordered by design line, so tell us which one you have.

JennAir Refrigeration and Dishwashers

Column and built-in JennAir fridges pull air through a small grille at the top or bottom. If the condenser coil behind it gets dusty, the unit runs hot and long. If the JennAir freezer is fine but the fridge side is warm, frost has likely choked the evaporator coil. A failed defrost part or fan is behind it. Ice makers stop when the water valve or the ice maker fails.

JennAir dishwashers mostly fail to drain or leave water on the floor. A clogged filter, a tired drain pump and a worn door seal top our list of suspects. See our JennAir refrigerator repair page.

How Our JennAir Visits Work

Luxury kitchens get busy. We try to fit you in fast, and we can reach most homes the day you call if you phone early.

Our techs are licensed and insured and have passed background checks. They lay down floor covers before sliding out a built-in. The home diagnostic is $79. Once we know the cause, you get a fixed price. We waive the $79 if you approve the work.

Only genuine OEM JennAir parts go in. When a part must ship, we set your return appointment right then. Our 30-day repair warranty covers the job.

A Common JennAir Downdraft Case

Say a couple in Pasadena has an older JennAir downdraft cooktop. Every time they sear a steak, the smoke alarm goes off. The vent fan sounds normal. So why isn't it pulling?

Our tech pulls the vent grate and filter. The filter is thick with grease, and the duct below has a crushed section. He cleans the filter and fixes the duct run. The vent draws hard again. A clean filter every month or so would have kept it that way.

Repair or Replace Your JennAir?

JennAir is a luxury brand, and it's built into your kitchen. Swapping a column fridge or a downdraft range means matching cutouts and trim. So repair is almost always the better value. Whirlpool ownership also keeps many parts in supply.

There are limits. Some parts for very old downdraft ranges have been discontinued. If that applies to yours, we will say so after the visit.
