On JennAir electric radiant and touch-control cooktops, FC LR indicates there may be a problem with the left front hotplate (the cooking surface, burner or element) or its wiring. The rest of the cooktop may still work, but the left front area will not heat normally. The message tells us to start with that element and its connection. Cooking elsewhere may be unaffected.
1. Turn all controls off and let the glass cool. 2. Briefly kill the power at the breaker, then turn it back on. 3. Try the other elements to see whether only the left front fails. 4. Leave the left front off if FC LR returns, and call us. Do not lift the glass.
The message names the left front area only. Other zones may still work, but we test every zone during the visit so you know the whole cooktop is sound.
Normal wear, sudden temperature swings and heavy boil-overs can all affect an element. We confirm the cause before replacing anything, because the wiring is a common culprit.
We quote in writing before starting, since element prices vary by cooktop. Our work carries a 30-day workmanship warranty, so you know the repair is covered.
A technician diagnoses it on site and gives you the price in writing before any work starts.
