I have a Jennair wall oven model WW30430PC. I need to replace a door switch. The manufacturer part # is 71001129, and the number printed on the switch is ASP2831-103. According to the manufacturer, and to many parts sites I've checked, this part is no longer available, and the manufacturer does not provide a cross-reference to parts from other manufacturers that might be suitable. HELP - for want of a (probably) $5-$10 item, my oven will not work or self-clean. Any suggestions?

Flustered, first thing I would check is the power. If you are using a 4 wire 240V, part of the copper ground strap just below the terminal block should be removed. You would have black on the left, white in the middle, red to the right and ground to the ground screw just below. 120V from left to center, 120V from right to center and 240V across the outside terminals. If you have it wired right check for voltage at the spark module, should have 120V at terminals L&N. If you have that voltage there and still no spark with your burner caps on (this is the ground for the spark) you more than likley have a bad spark module. Call for factory service since this is new.

You will not be able to open the door if you turn off temp gage. Return the temp gage only to clean and door should open.

Thank you so much for this information. I can verify that this procedure worked (at least for me). I ordered the part from Digi-Key Corp (it was up to a whooping $.28), replaced the old capacitor, plugged everything back in and bam! A working display. There was a beeping and error message but after hitting the Cancel button on the stove, everything was working.

Note that this fixed the dimmed display only. All the other controls were still working--only the display was off. If you have other issues, this might not be a complete solution.

You need basic soldering skills, a small solder iron, a solder ******, and some rosin-core solder. The capacitor is labeled on the circuit board.

When taking the unit off the control panel the largest ribbon cable was clear plastic with embedded contacts. I'd never seen one of these before. The cable's contacts slide in behind the pins on the connector and are held against it by an insert in the connector. When I removed the insert, the clear plastic cable came completely out from the connector. I had thought I'd broken it. But just slide it back in behind the pins, aligning the cable contacts with the pins and put in the connector insert to hold them in place.

The Digi-Key part number for the capacitor is P10292-ND. I ordered 5, just to have a few spares. The 5 caps plus first class postage came to a total of $3.51. Quite a difference from the $160 for the whole unit!

Thanks again to ultigerfan for making this information available.
