I removed the red/blk/and white wires from the switches when replacing the glass top because the junction box is buried. I have the wiring diagram that came with the unit but it doesn't read which designated terimals to connect on the switches.

We have a Sear's Repair Center here, and I'm thinking that if you go there and explain your problem, they may be able to bring up some assembly diagrams (which is what you need), and perhaps be able to advise you on the wiring hookup. Electrical diagrams can help, but are often too general, not allowing one to have to refer to the assembly diagrams.
That's your best bet- they're the guys that fix these machines, and they will be able to help, with a little luck.
Hope this helps, and good luck.

I have a new second hand stove top which has 3 wires: black, red, green. From my panel there is a three wire, should I wire it blk blk, red red, and white green

Yes, Red and Black are supposed to be your Load wires (110) each then green for ground which should be white..Before I wire it up use a tester and make sure that is what is going on.

How do you get the black top off. I have to put in a new front burner. Thanks.

I had the same problem. Mine was caused by liquid seeping into the infinite switch (the switch that gets rotated by the knob to set burner temperature). This caused one of the live wires to short to ground within the switch. Bad Design IMHO. Replacing the switch fixed the problem (you can get replacement parts at Searspartsdirect.com - search using the cooktop model number).
You first need to remove the unit from its installation. Start by disconnecting the exhaust fan from the ductwork. Then push the cooktop up.
To get at the switch you need to remove the top by taking off only the top row of screws all around the unit and also in the down draft cavity (the down draft cavity is where the grease guard mesh is)

Turn off the circuit breaker to the cooktop. Verify by making sure the burners/fan do not come on. Disconnect the exhaust fan (underneath the cooktop) from the ductwork by removing the tape that joins it. While you are underneath the cooktop, open the junction box. Label the four wires that are joined so that you will be able to connect them later. Then disconnect the four wires. Remove the metal sheating that connects to the junction box (there is a nut on the inside of the junction box that you loosen. Pull out all the supply wires (from the mains) from the junction box. Then push the cooktop up and out and lay it flat on a table with the flat side down.
Take off only the top row of screws all around the unit. Rotate the unit so that you can get to the down draft cavity (the down draft cavity is where the grease guard mesh is). Remove the two center screws. Then pull the black top off.

Whirlpool Electric Cooktop Wiring

sound like you have a three wire setup on you house most commonly the black wire is the L1 wire or one of the hot wires and the red is the L2 wire and is also one of the hot wire in this instance your white wire would be your neutral/ground wire this would connect to the copper wire on your cook top depending on the model it would have a red wire a black wire and the copper wire but some may also have a white wire also if this is the case on a three wire setup you would attach the copper and white wires together also if needed you can goto the maufactures website and download an instalation guide.

3 wire cook top to a 4 wire outlet

Older 3 wire connectors where Wht=Neutral Ground Return, Red=One Phase Hot, Blk=Second Phase Hot, of 220VAC stove connections.

Newer Electrical code standard has a forth wire that is bare copper for a separate safety ground return.
I suggest you but a 4 wire pig tail cable for your stove top, available at Depot or Lowes, and connect 3 wires of this 4 wire cable just like the 3 wires are now connected. The 4th bare copper safety is attached to any metal part of the stove. Find a screw you can loosen to wrap it around and tighten.

We have a Jenn air jed8430. It was installed but never supplied power to it or tested. We want to make sure the wires are right before powering it up. Black is with Black. Red is with Black with Red...

I just looked, and there is not a wiring diagram available on the web for this unit.

I am concerned about the black with red stripe to red.

Check to see if there is a wiring diagram somewhere on the unit (there wasn't one in the installation instruction or manual for this unit.). I believe the red wire on the house side goes to the black/black wire on the cooktop side (so I believe you are correct on your concern.).

House side green should be to the coiled silver cooktop side silver wire.

But the wiring diagram will confirm these things.

I think the black/red stripe is for the blower.

I need a wiring diagram hook up for a Jenn air 201595D Range top & also for a GE Double oven JKP36G0D1B0

Cook top manuals and installation.

http://www.jennair.com/catalog/product.jsp?parentCat=2&cat=12&prod=1457&tabOption=specs#info

Could not find installation manual on oven but did find manual. If you are just trying to wire to the house wiring you need to conect this way. Yo uwill have 3- 4 wires from the house. 1 white, 2 black or 1 black and 1 red. From range hook white to white Black to black or red they both are the hot line. and the other black or red to black or red from the house. If you have bare wires that is the ground There is 2 ways to do the hook up on the ground. 1st way is if you have ground in box from house wire them together. 2nd way is if there is no groung just wire it up with the white wire that is the netural line. It will be fine that way. If you can see in you main braker box the netural and the ground go to the same bus bar.

Jenn air electric range wiring diagram

In a normal house, black and red are the hot wires and are wired to a circuit breaker or fuse at the panel box. White goes to the ground bar. Sometimes the white(neutral) is seperated from the ground. Sometimes they can be connected together. At the fuse box they both go to the silver ground bar. If you are attaching a cord and plug purchase one to match the outlet you have. Usually at the terminal block the hot wires are on the outside. Neutral in the middle. At the terminal block there is a metal strap or wire going from the center terminal to the frame of the stove. If the cord you have is just 3 wires leave it. If the cord you have uses 4 wires remove the strap and connect it seperately to the green or ground wire on the cord.

Electric stove top

Follow the wire, It should go to a junction box within 4 feet. It may be behind a cabinet. Remove the box cover and unscrew the wire nuts. It usually uses armored wire and this is clamped to the box. Release the clamp . Turn off breaker or remove the 2 fuses first.
