It is odd, in that the top oven has touch controls and a digital display, but the bottom oven has mechanical dial-type controls. Guess which one failed? And I can't even get replacement parts for the digital controls from the manufacturer. The top oven still turns on and can be set for 350F or lower, but no higher temperature (the default temp is 350F, the up-temp button failed but the down-temp button still kind-of works). Still, I guess after over 20 years, something was due to break. I replaced the spark module on our Jenn-air gas cooktop myself a few years ago. Part was $27 from repairclinic.com.

A little flexible could work to re-attach the plastic pusher part to its frame to hold it in place with enough flexibility to work properly. This usually seemed to be related to the flat plastic panel that has the temp up function being used so much that it cracks, allowing too much motion to be applied to the flexible plastic part underneath, that then breaks. |

Oops. Forgot to mention that I used a piece of aluminum duct tape on the back of the flat panel to reinforce the cracked plastic panel. |
