Jenn Air Washer controls don't work
When your Jenn Air washer controls are not working, start by checking whether the entire display or timer is dead. A damaged power cord is the most likely cause, especially if you see breaks, burn marks, blackened terminals, or exposed wires. Next, test the line fuse and washer fuse for continuity with a multimeter. A fuse with no continuity has blown and must be replaced. If the display works but the washer control panel, buttons, or knobs do not respond, inspect the selector knob, timer knob, and control knob. A cracked or stripped knob may slip on the switch or timer stem instead of turning it, which can make the washer selector knob not work even though the internal control is fine. These checks address common washer controls not working problems, including a washing machine display not working or a washer knob not working. Disconnect power before inspecting or testing electrical parts. Enter your washer's model number to find the exact replacement power cord, fuse, selector knob, timer knob, or control knob for your specific Jenn Air washing machine.
01 - Jenn Air Washing Machine Power Cord
If the whole washer display or timer is not working, the washer's power cord could the source of the problem. Inspect the cord for any breaks or burn marks near the terminals. If the terminals appear blackened or wires are exposed through the cord's insulation, you should replace the power cord with a new one.
