Robert B Gaithersburg , MD March 08, 2016 Appliance: Jenn-Air Electric Downdraft Surface Unit C301-C Stove downdraft stopped working I replaced the downdraft fan and fan motor of my 25 year old JennAire C301 cooktop. The issue was getting the fan/motor assembly out in such a tight place. I had to first remove the fan cover, cut the wires, then the assembly came out. Putting back wasn't as tough although getting the cover back on (over the motor) was a bit of a strain. Wired it back, turned it on, and was thrilled. Now I'll replace the knobs and burners and we're back in business.

Kenneth S Conyers , GA October 06, 2014 Appliance: Jenn-Air Jenn-Air Cooking 89891-C Down draft fan in 35 year old jenn aire cook top failed due to loss of gasket for proper air flow Ordered new motor on Friday. It arrived Saturday and I installed it Sunday. It is a tight working space (for a 76 year old) but by duplicating the existing installation, it went smoothly. If you do this yourself, make sure the foam strip is properly positioned in the housing after installing the motor. Also, don't forget to tie on a fish cord as you remove the old motor so you can pull the wires of the new motor up through the short length of flexible conduit.

David S East Amherst , NY October 04, 2019 Appliance: Jenn-Air Electric Downdraft Surface Unit C202-C Bearing failed in downdraft blower motor Removed old fan wheel and motor. The set screw for the fan was frozen and could not be removed. Ordered new motor kit and fan from the Pros which arrived in 2 days (not expedited!). Removed band with vibration isolators from the old motor and attached it and supplied foam strip to the new motor. Noticed new motor had an oil port but no instructions or what grade of oil was needed. No clues on the installation web site. Decided to leave it alone. Attached the fan using Locktite on the set screw and reassembled the unit to the range. Powered up and all appears good.
