By appliance

What we repair, and what usually goes wrong with it

Each card lists what we are called out for most often on that appliance. Start with the one that matches yours — the page behind it covers what the appliance reports, the parts and what the work costs.

  • A wide professional-style kitchen range standing in a dark luxury kitchen, heavy cast grates across the whole top, a row of substantial knurled metal knobs along the front in a warm bronze tone, two oven doors below with plain dark glass.
    Professional-style · Dual-stacked burners · Induction · Slide-in · 30" · 36" · 48"

    JennAir range repair in Miami

    Thirty machines in the current line and the most expensive thing in most of these kitchens. Dual-fuel and gas professional ranges with dual-stacked burners, a chrome-infused griddle or a gas grill built into the top, the first induction professional-style range this maker has built, and the slide-ins. A 48-inch range is two ovens, six burners and a griddle in one appliance, and any one of those can be the reason you called.

    • A burner that clicks and will not light, or lights and will not hold
    • The oven running hot, running cold, or not heating at all
    • The door locked after a self-clean and staying locked
    Range repair
  • A large flat black glass cooking surface set flush into a dark stone counter in a luxury kitchen, its surface clean and reflecting soft overhead light, faint pale outlines marking the cooking zones.
    Induction · Radiant · Gas · Downdraft · Rangetops · Euro-Style · 30" · 36" · 45" · 48"

    JennAir cooktop repair in Miami

    The widest row on this site: thirty-nine cooktops and fourteen professional rangetops, which are the same repair under a different word. Induction, radiant glass, sealed gas, and the downdraft cooktops that pull the steam down through the counter instead of up into a hood — an idea this maker invented and still sells.

    • One induction zone cutting out while the rest keep going
    • A gas burner clicking without lighting, or lighting and dropping out
    • A downdraft that runs but no longer pulls
    Cooktop repair
  • A tall double built-in oven in a dark cabinet run with the upper door standing open, showing an empty stainless cavity with flat rack rails and a light on inside.
    Single · Double · Microwave combination · Speed oven · V2 convection · 27" · 30"

    JennAir wall oven repair in Miami

    Twenty machines: single ovens, double ovens, the microwave-combination towers that are two appliances in one cabinet, and the speed ovens. Almost all of them are built into a run of cabinetry, which decides more about the appointment than the repair itself does — a wall oven has to come out of its housing before anybody can reach the back of it.

    • Heating to the wrong temperature, or taking far too long to get there
    • The convection fan running loud, or not running
    • A control panel that lights and will not respond
    Wall oven repair
  • A tall full-height refrigerator column standing open in a dark luxury kitchen, showing glass shelves and a very dark interior lining lit softly from within, a few plain glass bottles on one shelf.
    Built-in · Column · French door · Undercounter · Drawers · Beverage centers · 18"–48"

    JennAir refrigerator repair in Miami

    The largest row in this line and the one this phone rings about most. Built-in cabinets and panel-ready columns from 18 to 48 inches, French door, the undercounter units that live in an island or a bar run, refrigerated drawers and beverage centers. Most of them are trimmed into your cabinetry, which is the first thing we need to know.

    • The refrigerator drifting warm while the freezer holds
    • Water on the floor, or ice building where it should not
    • A cabinet running constantly and never quite getting there
    Refrigerator repair
  • A tall full-height freezer column standing open beside a run of dark cabinetry, showing three deep pull-out drawers with clear fronts and a pale frost-free interior lit from within.
    Panel-ready columns · 18" · 24" · 30" · Single temperature

    JennAir freezer repair in Miami

    This make builds three standalone freezers and they are all the same idea: a panel-ready column, single temperature, meant to stand beside a refrigerator column behind matching cabinetry. That is the whole row, and it is a short one on purpose. The freezer half of a combination cabinet is covered on the refrigerator page, because that is the same appliance.

    • Frost building up faster than the defrost cycle clears it
    • The column running warm while the one beside it is fine
    • Ice on the floor of the cabinet, or water underneath it
    Freezer repair
  • A tall built-in wine cabinet with a dark glass door, seen straight on in a dim room, wooden cradles inside holding bottles on their sides and lit by a soft cool light from within.
    Undercounter · Columns · Dual zone · Panel-ready · 18" · 24"

    JennAir wine cellar repair in Miami

    Undercounter cellars and full-height wine columns, most of them dual-zone and most of them panel-ready. A wine cabinet almost never stops outright: it drifts a few degrees, holds the wrong humidity, or starts vibrating, and it says nothing about any of it. In a market with a great many second homes, that can run a whole season before anybody notices.

    • One zone holding and the other drifting
    • A cabinet that is cold enough and humming louder than it did
    • Condensation on the glass, or on the bottles
    Wine cellar repair
  • A built-in dishwasher standing open in a dark kitchen, its stainless tub visible with a lower rack, an upper rack and a shallow third rack near the top, all empty.
    Fully integrated · Panel-ready · Pocket handle · TriFecta · Third rack · 24" · 38–39 dBA

    JennAir dishwasher repair in Miami

    Ten machines, all of them 24 inches, all of them quiet enough that the loudest thing in the kitchen is the water. Fully integrated, panel-ready and pocket-handle fronts; a third rack for cutlery on most of the line. On the integrated machines the controls are hidden along the top edge of the door, which changes how a problem is diagnosed more than it changes the machine.

    • A cycle that finishes with water still standing in the tub
    • Dishes coming out gritty, or coming out wet
    • A panel that will not respond, or a machine that will not start
    Dishwasher repair
  • A wide drawer-style microwave built into the front of a dark kitchen island below the counter, its drawer front a plain brushed metal panel with a slim handle, drawn a little way open to show an empty pale cavity.
    Built-in · Drawer · Over-the-range · Speed-cook · Flush · 24" · 27" · 30"

    JennAir microwave repair in Miami

    Thirteen machines and four quite different appliances sharing a word: the built-in ovens that sit in a cabinet run, the drawer units that open downwards out of an island, the over-the-range models that are a microwave and a ventilation hood in one, and the speed ovens that add convection and browning to the microwave underneath.

    • Running, lit and turning, but not heating anything
    • A drawer that will not open, or will not close far enough to start
    • The vent fan on an over-the-range unit no longer clearing the cooktop
    Microwave repair
  • A narrow undercounter ice machine built into a dark bar run with its door standing open, showing a shallow bin part filled with clear ice cubes and a pale interior.
    Undercounter · 15" · Gourmet ice · Panel-ready · Drain and drainless

    JennAir ice machine repair in Miami

    Two machines in the current line, both undercounter, both 15 inches, and most of what goes wrong with them is water rather than refrigeration. An ice machine is a small appliance with a plumbing problem attached — a supply, a path through the machine, and a drain — and in this water all three of those want attention long before the sealed system does.

    • Making less ice than it did, or ice that is cloudy and soft
    • A machine that fills and never harvests
    • Water under the cabinet, or a bin that will not stop filling
    Ice machine repair

The idea this maker invented

A downdraft is a blower, a damper and a duct. Most of it is not the appliance.

JennAir built the first self-ventilating cooktop in 1961 and the first downdraft range in 1965 — ventilation pulled down through the cooking surface instead of up into a hood — and there are still downdraft cooktops, a downdraft range and downdraft ventilation units in the current line. Far more of them are in South Florida kitchens from the decades in between.

When one stops pulling, the order of investigation is filter, damper, duct, blower, and only then the control. Three of those five are outside the machine, and two of them cost nothing to check. It is worth knowing that before anybody quotes you for a cooktop.

Cooktops and rangetops

Panel-ready, and what it means for a visit

On most of these, the door you are looking at belongs to your cabinetmaker.

Thirty-six of the sixty-five refrigeration models in this line are panel-ready, and so are most of the dishwashers and wine cellars. The front is your own millwork, hung on the appliance’s hinges and carrying its own weight.

That changes two practical things and only two. The panel comes off before some repairs and goes back on aligned afterwards, which is time we would rather plan than find in your kitchen. And a door that has started to sit crooked may be the panel hardware rather than the appliance — a much smaller job than the one people brace for. Mention it when you book.

What each repair costs

By job

The repairs behind those symptoms

If you already know what the appliance needs, these are the pages with the starting figures on them.

  • A technician taking a reading at the open door of a built-in oven, meter in hand
    from $95

    Diagnostic visit

    We read what the appliance is reporting, then measure before saying anything about the repair. On a built-in kitchen that also means working out how the appliance comes out before anybody touches it. The fee is credited toward the work when you go ahead.

    What this involves
  • The empty racks and tub floor of a dishwasher standing open
    from $175

    Dishwasher drain & pump repair

    Water standing in the tub at the end of a cycle, or a machine that stops and will not restart. Three of the four usual causes are outside the appliance, which is why this visit starts at the sink rather than under the machine.

    What this involves
  • A hand lifting the cylindrical filter out of the floor of a dishwasher tub
    from $145

    Dishwasher wash & filter service

    Dishes coming out gritty, filmed or still dirty on one rack. This is the repair that most often ends without a part — and the one where South Florida water is doing more of the work than anything mechanical.

    What this involves
  • A technician crouched at the lowered door of a built-in dishwasher, tool roll open on the floor
    from $195

    Dishwasher control & door repair

    A panel that will not respond, a machine that will not start, or a heavy paneled door that has stopped closing square. On a fully integrated machine the controls are hidden along the top edge, which changes how any of this is diagnosed.

    What this involves
  • A technician working at the open door of a built-in refrigerator
    from $165

    Refrigerator defrost & cooling repair

    A cabinet drifting warm, frost building where it should not, or a column that runs constantly and never quite gets there. This is where most refrigeration calls land, and it is the band the expensive one is reached by eliminating.

    What this involves
  • A technician sitting at the back of a refrigerator with the rear panel off and the compressor exposed
    from $695

    Sealed system & compressor repair

    The largest figure on this site and the only one quoted last. Recovery, leak location, the repair, a new filter drier, evacuation and a charge weighed to the plate. Reached only after everything cheaper has been measured and excluded.

    What this involves
  • A technician holding open the door of a tall refrigerator beside a kitchen sink
    from $155

    Refrigerator water & dispenser repair

    Water on the floor, an ice maker that has stopped, a dispenser that dribbles or nothing at all. One inlet valve and one filter usually feed both, which is why this is one job rather than two.

    What this involves
  • A technician in gloves working along the door shelf and seal of an open refrigerator
    from $165

    Door, gasket & alignment repair

    The cheapest thing on the refrigeration list and the one that imitates the most expensive. A tired seal produces a cabinet that will not hold temperature, condensation, and a compressor running far longer than it should. On this make it is often the cabinet panel rather than the appliance.

    What this involves
  • A technician kneeling at the base of a tall refrigerator with the lower panel off
    from $165

    Freezer frost & drain service

    Frost winning against the defrost cycle, ice on the floor of the cabinet, or water underneath it. On a frost-free column any of those means the defrost circuit is not doing its job, and it gets worse rather than settling.

    What this involves
  • Bottles resting on the wooden racks of a cooled wine cabinet
    from $245

    Wine cellar cooling & airflow repair

    A cabinet that has drifted two degrees, one zone holding while the other does not, or a new noise through the racks. A wine cellar rarely stops outright — it drifts, and it says nothing about it.

    What this involves
  • A scoop resting in crushed ice beside a glass of clear water
    from $155

    Ice machine cleaning & descaling

    Less ice than there used to be, or ice that has gone cloudy and soft. Most ice machine calls in this city are a cleaning that was postponed until it became a symptom — which is why this row exists and is cheaper than the one below it.

    What this involves
  • A hand holding a glass under a dispenser as it fills with ice
    from $195

    Ice maker fill & harvest repair

    A machine that fills and never releases, or one that never fills at all. Freezing and harvesting are two different halves and they fail for different reasons — which half yours is decides the repair.

What this climate does to them

Three things South Florida is hard on

None of them are unusual here, and all three are cheaper to prevent than to repair.

Salt and humidity

  • The maker's own warranty excludes corrosion from "high salt concentrations, high moisture or humidity"
  • Condensation inside a cabinet whose door is sitting a fraction proud
  • Frost that outruns a defrost cycle in August and never did in February

Heat in a sealed island

  • Induction power boards cutting out because the cabinet has nowhere to breathe
  • An undercounter cellar or ice machine choked at the toe-kick grille
  • A condenser nobody has cleaned since the kitchen was built

Water, and what it carries

  • Scale on a dishwasher heater and through an ice machine's water path
  • Film on glassware that reads as a wash failure and is hardness
  • Filters and cartridges that were changed on schedule until they were not

Not seeing your appliance?

Nine cards is not the whole list of what we will look at.

The nine above are the appliance types this site publishes. What the list does not name is everything this maker also builds and we are also called out for: a warming drawer under a wall oven, a trash compactor in a cabinet run, a wall or island hood and the custom liners that go inside your own millwork, a built-in coffee system, a refrigerated drawer in an island, a beverage center in a bar run, a downdraft that rises out of the counter. All of them are in scope even where no card names them.

If you are not sure which of them yours is, the model plate settles it — on the edge of the door on a dishwasher, on the frame inside the door on a wall oven or a range, on the upper left wall inside a refrigerator, underneath a cooktop, behind a filter on a hood. Call (305) 745-7213, or use the form above and describe it in your own words.

Before you book

Questions we get about the equipment

Where is the model number on a JennAir?

It depends on the machine. On a dishwasher it is on the edge of the door, visible only when the door is open. On a range or a wall oven it is on the frame inside the door, sometimes behind a storage drawer. On a refrigerator or a column it is on the upper left wall inside the fresh-food side. On a cooktop it is underneath, which usually means holding a phone camera up into the cabinet. On an undercounter unit it is often behind the toe-kick grille. It is worth a photograph rather than a transcription — the letters and digits run together and a single character changes which part fits.

What is the difference between RISE and NOIR, and does it affect the repair?

They are this maker's two design expressions, and they run across the whole catalog rather than being two model ranges. RISE is mixed metals with knurled handles and brass-toned collars; NOIR is stainless with black glass and a texture you find by touch rather than by looking. Underneath they are the same machine: the same burners, the same boards, the same failures, and usually the same part numbers with a different finish code on the end. So it changes nothing about the diagnosis and occasionally something about a cosmetic part, which is why we ask for the full model number rather than the family.

Is a JennAir the same machine as a KitchenAid or a Whirlpool underneath?

They belong to the same corporate group and share control platforms, and the maker's own support sites show it: the same error code sits at the same address under more than one badge. That is useful rather than damning — it means a code names the subsystem while the model number names the machine. What it does mean is that a code alone never identifies your appliance, which is why every code page on this site names the appliance rather than publishing a bare table. It also means the class of machine is not shared: a panel-ready column and a freestanding refrigerator are not the same appliance whatever the code says.

I have an older cartridge cooktop or a downdraft from the nineties. Is it still worth repairing?

Usually, and it is worth asking rather than assuming. The cartridge system — a grill or griddle module that lifts out and a two-burner cartridge that drops in — was built for decades and there are a great many of them still working in South Florida. The electrical and mechanical parts are commonly available; what is genuinely scarce is cosmetic and model-specific, and some cartridges and control panels are in that group. We tell you which side of that line your repair sits on before anything is ordered, and we say plainly when a machine is not worth the part.

How long is the manufacturer's warranty, and does it change what I should do?

The current major-appliance warranty runs <strong>two years from delivery, parts and labor</strong> — longer than the one year that is usual — and refrigeration carries a ten-year sealed-system warranty in three steps: two years parts and labor, then years three to five on the cavity liner and sealed system with labor included, then years six to ten on the sealed system with parts only. If your machine is inside any of those, the manufacturer's own service route is 1-800-536-6247 and it costs you nothing. We are independent, we are not the maker's warranty channel, and we would rather tell you that than take a call you did not need to make. Outside the warranty, call (305) 745-7213.

How JennAir appliances are repaired, and what decides the figure

What we are called out for, appliance by appliance

  • Ranges. Ignition and the sensing behind it, the simmer stage of a dual-stacked burner, the oven sensor, elements, and a latch that will not release after a self-clean
  • Cooktops and rangetops. Induction boards and the cabinet air they need, radiant elements and their switches, spark modules and caps on gas, and the downdraft path
  • Wall ovens. Sensors, elements, the convection fan, the latch and the control — with the appliance out of its housing before anybody reaches any of it
  • Refrigerators and columns. Defrost first, then the evaporator fan, thermistors, the condenser, the water path, and the board after an outage
  • Freezers. The defrost circuit and a drain that has iced closed, long before anything more serious
  • Wine cellars. Airflow at the toe kick, then the condenser, the sensors, the door, and the mounts when the complaint is noise
  • Dishwashers. Draining, the tub filter, the panel, the door and its latch, the heater circuit, and leak detection that has shut the machine down on purpose
  • Microwaves. The high-voltage side, the door interlocks, the drawer mechanism, and the vent path on the units that also ventilate a cooktop
  • Ice machines. Water in, water out, scale through the path, and a harvest that will not release

Built-in is most of what decides the appointment

Almost nothing in this line stands on the floor. Ranges and rangetops are heavy and trimmed to cabinetry; wall ovens come forward out of a housing; refrigeration is columns and built-in cabinets behind panels that belong to your kitchen rather than to the appliance; dishwashers, cellars and ice machines live under counters and breathe through a grille at the bottom. The repair itself is often quick. The access around it is the appointment, and that is the honest reason a figure on this make sits where it does.

One code table, several badges

JennAir belongs to a corporate group that runs the same control platforms across several of its names, and the maker’s own support pages show it: the same code sits at the same address under more than one brand. So a code is rarely what tells you whose machine it is. What does is the appliance, the configuration and the model number — which is why every code page on this site names the appliance rather than publishing a bare table.

What an owner can genuinely do first

More than people expect, and the pages here say which. Lifting and reseating a burner cap. Pulling and rinsing a dishwasher filter. Washing a downdraft or hood filter. Clearing a defrost drain. Checking that the toe-kick grille under a cellar or an ice machine is not blocked. Cutting the power at the breaker for a minute after an outage. Where the maker itself says a condition is not an owner’s job — and on a microwave it says so for a good reason — we repeat that instead of inventing a checklist.

Model numbers

On the edge of the door on a dishwasher, on the frame inside the door on a range or wall oven, on the upper left interior wall of a refrigerator or column, underneath a cooktop, behind the toe-kick grille on an undercounter unit, behind a filter on a hood. A photograph of the plate is enough — it gives us the configuration and which parts fit before anybody drives anywhere.

Tell us which appliance it is, and what it is doing.

We will bring the parts that problem usually needs, and you will have a firm price before we start.
