Fan/stove light switch broke needs replacing
The original fan switch for the SEG196 (circa 1995) is a four terminal switch- two for the fan and two for the light . Note that the switch spade lugs for the red and blue wires (which when connected activate the fan) are larger than those for the white and brown wires (which when connected activate the oven light). This design presumably prevented miswiring of the switch at original assembly. Since the four terminal switch is nearly impossible to find (it was discontinued several years ago), an inexpensive fix is to replace the four wire switch with a two wire SPST toggle switch. However, this means that either the fan function or the light function can be preserved- not both. I elected to keep the fan function, and simply wired the red & blue wires to the two terminals of a heavy duty replacement SPST toggle switch. Be sure to fully insulate the remaining (in this case) white and brown wires with electrical tape or wire nuts before tucking them below the new switch. Total cost: $6.00 for switch. NOTE: TURN OFF POWER TO RANGE AT ELECTRICAL PANEL BEFORE ATTEMPTING REPAIR!
The oven does not reach the temp setting
it seems to be very expensive shop arround there are alot of con men out there and he seems to be one a control pannel for that oven $105 and easy to fix no time at all $195 to fit 20 mins work at most 30mins
Touchpad woes
I had a tech come out and look at mine and he told me that the F1-8 means a faulty touchpad. He wanted nearly $600 to fix it. I had already taken mine apart and put it back together so I knew it wasn't a really tough fix. A little challenging but possible for anyone that is a handyman or woman. I found the touch pad online for $230 and just completed a successful installation in about 1 hour. Unfortunately, the repairman said that you have to purchase the entire front piece - the metal panel where the touchpad is imbedded. Once I removed the panel, I pulled the touchpad off and it had a price tage of $26 and a part number, so now i'm looking online to see if you can purchase just the touchpad. At any rate, even if the touchpad can be purchased separately, you still have to remove the front panel to install it so that you can plug the ribbon cable in.

you need to change out the bake ignitor.when the ignitor is breaking down this is what happens,it takes longer and longer for it to ignite the flame and i've seen some ignitors burn a hole in the tub,change out the ignitor and you'll be all set,part number 74007498.
I have model seg 196.
Kathy,
The burner in the oven that has the fan going on is leaking. May be a small leak but a leak nevertheless. So please have its gas pipe removed and replaced soonest. Then the has smell and the fan running on its own will cease.
Oven getting up to temperature very slowly,
The problem is usually the igniter not reaching the correct amp draw .When the igniter does not reach the correct amp draw it may allow the gas valve to partially open or not open at all. The igniters are inexpensive and easy to replace. This video will walk you thru the correct procedure for testing an oven igniter. It may be a different model but the testing will be the same.You can also enter your model # for diagrams and illustrations of your specific model. Not all models are available. All parts come with installation instructions.
F1 ON MY JENN-AIR KEEPS BEEPING
Hi
Thanks for using FixYa. Error code F1 means that
the touch pad is defective. To resolve this issue you’ll have to replace the
touch pad. Please do rate the solution if the issue is resolved or post a
comment for further assistance.
Thanks

My oven takes 30 min.
Your insulation seems to be faulty and letting the heat escape.

When i try to bake on my jenn air we have no flame
If the bake ignitor comes on (starts glowing after a few seconds) - check the amperage on the bake ignitor wires when it's on. If the ignitor is a round style - amperage should be 2.5-3A, if the ignitor is rectangular - 3 - 3.6A. If less than 2.5A or 3A respectively - replace ignitor.
Ignitor part numbers for round style ones: 4342528, WB2X9154, SGR403, 5304401265;
rectangular styles: 12400035, WB13K21, WB2X9998, SGR412, NR020, 5303935066, 814269, 9753108.
Ignitors of the same shape (i.e. rectangular) are interchangeable, if you can splice the wires.
Good luck!
