How to Replace the Ignitor in a Jenn Air Gas Stove

Jenn Air gas stoves are manufactured in a wide range of models, each with a distinct set of features. Each Jenn Air gas stove is equipped with an ignitor that produces a flame from the gas supply. Unlike a pilot light, the ignitor only comes on when the stove is turned on. If the ignitor fails, the stove will not heat. Replace the broken ignitor to keep your Jenn Air gas stove working correctly.
