Burners on my Jenn-Air JDS9860AAP are slow to ignite but work fine after a few seconds. It seems the gas flow is low at first before becoming normal. Am I right to think it is the regulator?

I've checked the burners and lines are all are clean and clear. The ignitors work fine.

Slow lighting is not all that uncommon on these ranges. Make sure the burners are clean and that you can see the spark at each ignitor. If that is OK, check the gas pressure to the burners.

SOURCE: dependable ninety two blower comes on no igniter glow gas flows

if you dont see the glow of the ignitor it is probably bad . you can check with a meter that has an ohms scale, unplug and test ignitor side OL would be a bad ignitor 45-110ohms ok.

SOURCE: Ge Monogram Gas Cooktop - won't boil water - burners seem like they are starved for gas

Bret, lets give this a try. 1st look at the regulator. There is an arrow on it that has to point towards the cooktop. Put is on backwards and very little gas flow. I always advise this first as I have seen people tell me it is correct and when I got out there it was reversed. 2nd was this used as a live demo unit on Propane? If you are on natural gas, this will also happen. The 3rd thing I also check for in something in the gas line on the cooktop side. I had a unit that got some packing in the line and at 5 wc for natural gas, it doesn't take much to restrict. Hope this helps.

SOURCE: ge spectra gas stove top not lighting

If your top burners are not lighting or will not work, it is possible that the burners have become dirty or wet. Please follow the troubleshooting directions below before calling service:

  1. Turn you burner to the Lite position:

    If you hear clicking or sparking, go to Step 2.

    If you do not, check your circuit breakers. If the circuit breaker is ok, we recommend that you schedule service by calling 1-800-432-2737 or schedule service online.

  2. Clean the burner and electrode:

    First remove the burner grate, cap, and head. Use a needle or paper clip to poke through the holes on the burner head. Re-assemble and try the burner.

    Remove the burner grate, cap, and head. Even if it looks clean, wipe the tip of the electrode with a clean, dry paper towel and PRESS IT DOWN. Re-assemble and try the burner, again.

    Check to see if the burner works, If not, then go to Step 3.

  3. Re-assemble - Make sure that each burner top matches its burner bottom. The burner top will lay flat if put on correctly.

    Check to see if the burner works, If not, then go to Step 4.

  4. The spark igniter is operating properly, but the burner is still not lighting. At this point, we would recommend that you schedule service by calling 1-800-432-2737 or schedule service online.

Jenn-Air jgs8860bdp broiler doesn't ignite.

There are a few potential issues that could cause the problems you're experiencing with your Jenn-Air broiler. Here are a few things you can try:
  1. Make sure the gas supply to the broiler is turned on and that there are no blockages in the gas line.
  2. Check the gas valve to make sure it is open and functioning properly.
  3. Make sure the gas burners are clean and free of any debris or obstruction.
  4. Check the broiler burner for proper ignition. It should ignite within a few seconds of turning on the broiler. If it does not, the burner orifice may be clogged and will need to be cleaned.
  5. Check the gas pressure to the broiler. If the gas pressure is too low, it can cause the flames to be low or go out.
  6. Make sure the broiler igniter is properly seated and connected.

Jenn air downdraft cooktop. We had a new Jenn Air

Hi,

This is normal, Jenn Air along with many manufactures use one ignition module for all the burners. So when you turn one knob on all the ignitors on top will spark but gas will only flow to the burner with the knob on.

Here is a copy paste from a Jenn Air Owners Manual, I do not have your model number so I cannot be sure this is the exact phrase in your book.

I hope this helps!

To Set:
1. Push in and turn knob counterclockwise to light the burner.
All surface burners will click. Only the burner that has been
turned on will produce a flame.
2. Turn knob to anywhere between HIGH and LOW. Use the
following chart as a guide when setting heat levels.

Explosion potential

Absolutely do not use it until the problem is taken care of. You do indeed have an explosion hazzard.

95% chance all it needs is a thourouch cleaning of the ignition assembly.

When burner orifices and lighting tracks get contaminated and partially clogged with rust, dirt, and other sediment it starts to block the gas flow.

The gas starts to build up unburnt untill it eventually encounters the flame or ignitor, and then all the built up gas ignites at once.

It would eventuallty get worse.

Clean or replace the ignition assembly and burners.
A brass wire brush works wonders.
