they will be frozen from one of the cleaning products you use and there probably not the 2 you use all the time. get some CRC or WD40 and spray a little on the shafts so that the lubricant can run down into the top of the gas valve. you might have some rubber covers at the base of the gas shaft that you might have to manipulate to get the lubricant into the gas taps. give them a couple of sprays at a couple of 1-2 hour intervals. then see if you can start to get the shafts moving by pushing and pulling on them. once they start moving get some more spray on them. should come good.

my blower switch shorted out. Could smell the plastic once removed. Liquids dripped into contacts during cleaning. Switch replacement obsolete. Found switch @ Ace. Made modifucation to panel to accept rectangular switch.

I had no instructions, manual, no receipt at all, due to a residential move. I asked questions and described the product numerous times - even went to Office Max to ask for any advice, describing what the Router action was and what was different. They gave me a list of possible Router Companies. This led me back to several phone calls, which did finally help. Guess what - part of the problem was with new techniques at my "Online Provider."

have a warrant check done the unit may not be connect up proprely

I have the same problem,You will need a 15/16 socket and a rachet.Remove grill,then burner cap to expose range mounting nut use socket 15/16 to remove this work all the time for proper cleaning, NOW HERE IS THE PROBLEM, The nut is brass and it is screwed to the orifice holder,which seems to be made of aluminum.when i tried to back off the nut it freez up and continue to get tighter,as if it is cutting new threads in reverse,so im wondering if this metal combination of aluminum and brass is good,and if the severe heat in its path is not fusing the metals together.still trying to find answer.

You may need to turn the power/gas supply off until the problem is fixed.

You probably need to replace it. They are though fairly expensive. A little under $200 to be exact. http://www.partstore.com/ModelSearch.aspx?MfgName=Maytag&BrandName=JennAir&CloselyRelatedModels=true&ModelNumber=JED8430&x=41&y=30

Usually that's caused by clogged holes in the burners. I clean it out using a toothpick.

The top can not be repaired. The glass must be replaced . DO NOT USE IT CRACKED!!!!!!!!!!!! This is very dangerous as it can explode from the temperature. Also this is a severe electrical danger as glass top units have exposed elements underneath. Any liquid at all can short it out and cause a fire. I don't know if it is worth repairing. I don't have the exact price for your cooktop but last one I priced was between $350 - $500.
