JennAir Range Cooktop Indicator Flashing: Keys Pressed or Controls Set Wrong

What Indicator Flashing means

On JennAir ranges with electronic oven control, such as the JES1750FS or JIS1450DS, a flashing indicator on a smoothtop cooktop means one or more keys are being held down. Make sure the cooktop controls are off, remove objects on the control area, and wipe debris from the panel. On an induction cooktop, a flashing indicator may occur when the controls are not set correctly.

Common causes of Indicator Flashing

One or more keys are permanently pressed by debris or an object
Spills or grime on the touch control panel
On induction, the controls were not set correctly

✓ One safe check you can try

1. Turn all cooktop controls off. 2. Remove anything resting on the control area, such as pans, towels or utensils. 3. Wipe the touch control panel thoroughly with a soft, damp cloth, then dry it. 4. Set the controls again carefully; if the indicator keeps flashing, call us.

! Why to stop there

Most cases are a stuck key from a spill, which you can clear in a minute.
Replacing a touch panel is expensive and unnecessary if it is only dirty.
We check the panel if cleaning does not help and quote in writing.

Opening a panel yourself does not automatically cancel a manufacturer warranty, but it can cause accidental damage, and some manufacturers set their own service conditions. Check your warranty terms, or ask us, before deciding.

Indicator FlashingIndicator Flashing questions

What does a flashing indicator mean on a smoothtop?

One or more keys are permanently pressed. Clear the control area and clean the panel so nothing keeps a key pressed down, then try again.

What about an induction cooktop?

An indicator light may flash when the controls are not set correctly. Turn them off and set them again step by step, following your owner's manual.

The panel is clean but it still flashes. Now what?

A key may be sticking electronically. Call us and we will test the panel, explain the finding and quote the price in writing before we do anything.
