I have lost the ability to use the electric ignition on the grill side of the unit.
When cleaning it one time, I notice a small black metal ring fall off and hit the floor. Upon looking it over, it has two small fins, of which it looks like one broke off (it looks corrosion or rust contributed to this). However, I found where it went, and place it back where in the middle of the sealed burner component. It fit and I could get it to lite again. However, we hired a new household cleaning staff, and upon their cleaning -- it looks like the made the same mistake I did, but discarded the black ring. Now the only way I can get it to lite -- is with a grill lighter.
Can anyone help me identify this part -- if it can be purchased separately or if this is one of those items where the entire component has to be replaced. Seems like a simple part. Just need to know as the cleaners will purchase a replacement for me.
I have scanned both the installation guide and UG, and there were no breakdown of parts to give a better description or part number.

Yes. Buy a burner module. Sears sells them also most appliance part stores. (I am assuming you have the model with 2 knobs on the grill side) The electric version of burner modules is around $100 Gas should be similar price.

Hello
It sounds like you have a short. Replace the switch is very simple. Here are the Owners Manual and the Instalation Instructions.

Please do not use the stove if the element is viable because of broken glass, this could become a danger to yourself.
Look at the cost of a new stove, you should be able to get one for
around 400.00. One of my customers had a glass top with 4 burners,
they had the same thing happen, the cost to replace the top was
1,200.00. So I would assume that you can get a new stove with 4
burners less then it would cost to replace the part on a stove you don't like. Maybe there is a LOWES around you to look at stoves,
they seem to be everywhere,like death and taxes.
As for putting a 4 burner top on a stove that has 2 with grill, I don't think it can be done without the extra cost of adding the parts to run the other 2 burners, so like I said in the long run,it just might be cheaper to but a new stove. It should not be a big deal to remove the exhaust from the grill part of the stove.
I looked at the model# you put down,and it does not have a grill,
from what I see, there are 4 burners and a downdraft vent in between the 4 burners, there are 6 models with this part # and none have a grill,only the downdraft vent.
If the model# is right, the cost would be around 300.00 for the glass, and then the cost of having it replaced. So I would say over
400.00, In which case for the same amount you could have a new one, but you must weigh the difference for yourself and see what you think is the best way to go.
If you have any more questions,please post back and everyone is more than willing to help you. I hope I have helped a little.

Never mind. Some more Google Searching turned up a site that had break-out images of all the replaceable parts for my Jenn-Air unit.
You do not need to replace the entire sealed burner unit, just the igniter portion -- a $15 part. A little more than a black ring (also notice this is not supposed to be black -- but a silver ring.. I guess the grilling and heat tarnished it to black).

I have also lost the ignition on the right side of my unit. It clicks, but it will not ignite. I have used the manual to troubleshoot-still no success. I do smell gas, so the gas is coming out, it is the ignition port.
Same as above, our lower right burner igniter isn't working well. Sometimes it'll spark, other times, the gas comes out but no spark. We use a grill lighter on that burner, just to be on the safe side.
Is this fixable without a service call?
