Re: Dim Clock LCD on Jenn-Air wall oven

Thanks to this forum my own Jenn-Air is working fine. I ordered enough caps to fix my daughter's dim display as well. We replaced 2 caps (same brand, etc as the C4) and now everything works except that the fan runs constantly and timer 1 doesn't work. Timer 1 is no big deal but the fan is a problem. I can't find the circuit info on her stove to see what might be affecting the fan. Any suggestions?

Re: Dim Clock LCD on Jenn-Air wall oven

I had the local appliance repair company try to "fix" the oven. He has a good reputation and has been great on other things. He called Jenn Air when he was working on the oven because it would not register the temp increase he was trying to enter. Jenn Air tech said it needs a new board. I had installed a new thermostat and element prior to that service call but it made no change in the oven temp so I think we can rule out a bad element. The oven is in my vacation rental, when I get an open day I'll open the cover and check for bulged...

Re: Dim Clock LCD on Jenn-Air wall oven

Thanks to this forum my oven now has a display, etc. This was wonderful. Now I'm wondering how I could figure out if there is a bad capacitor in my other jenn air oven. I can't adjust the temp on that oven. That oven doesn't get as hot as it should. There are steps to input and bump the temp by 5 degree increments but they don't work. Jenn Air says I need a new control board so for now I'm setting the temp 20 degrees higher than I want to circumvent that problem.

Re: Dim Clock LCD on Jenn-Air wall oven

Thanks for the advice. I have bridged over the bad copper trace. Now the top oven is working but no display or lower oven function. I'm wondering if the ribbon cable is not seated quite right. Great advice on practicing on an old board and watching you tube videos. I'm sure practice will help. I'm not ready to give up so will try what you've suggested.

I'm retired now and used to have the benefit of working with wonderfully talented technical people that could point me in the right direction to fix/resolve problems. This forum...

Re: Dim Clock LCD on Jenn-Air wall oven

where is the broken copper trace (trying to learn, not questioning your response). Does this mean I just anty up and buy a new board? I'd really like a working oven even if I have to pay the price. And, how do I avoid breaking a copper trace - I want to fix my daughter's oven and not mess it up like I did mine
Thanks, Jackie

Re: Dim Clock LCD on Jenn-Air wall oven

The capacitor seems tight as do the other connections on the board. I'm wondering if my problem is the ribbon cable because that connects the board to the touch panel. How do I know that the cable is well seated (pushed far enough in)? Also, is there a fuse that I might have popped because I'm thinking I disconnected or connected when the power was on once. I have attempted to attach a picture of the soldier joints. The joints aren't as flat
on the board as the originals - is that my problem? Is there a way I can get them to flow to...

Re: Dim Clock LCD on Jenn-Air wall oven

I have reconnected and all seem to be tightly coupled. I even had a friend check to see if he could find something easy that I had missed on the connections. My first reaction is that the ribbon cable isn't connected but that seems tight as well. The oven light on the exterior input panel does control the oven light, not sure if that goes through ribbon cable and board.

Re: Dim Clock LCD on Jenn-Air wall oven

I am new to this forum. I replaced the C3 capacitor in my Jenn Air wall oven board (modelww27430p). Before the replacement, the oven would work even though there was no display to show the temp, etc. The clock displayed dimly. After the repair I can't get oven to even start, nothing beeps when I press the buttons to start a function and no clock. I tested the extra 68uf 35v capacitor (purchased from DigiKey) and get the same ohm reading with both the unused capacitor and the one on the board so it would seem that the one on the board is connected....

Re: Dim Clock LCD on Jenn-Air wall oven

I attempted to replace the C3 capacitor in my jenn air ww27430p double oven. Before I did the "repair", the clock display was visible and I could use the timer and ovens. After my "repair", I get nothing. No display at all and there are no beeps when I try to press the buttons to start an oven. The capacitor I put in was from digikey 68uf 35v. I bought more than one capacitor because my daughter's range has the same problem. I get the same readings with an ohm meter on my board as I get from a capacitor I have not installed....
