JennAir JGC3536GS Gas Cooktop Service, Five Burners

The JGC3536GS gives you five burners spread over 36 inches of stainless steel, so there is distance between pots that a 30-inch version lacks. Installed in a long counter run, it usually sits close to the cook’s prep area and takes a lot of splatter from searing and frying.
Wide cooktops often wear unevenly, because the burners in front see more action than the ones at the back. We start with the burner that fails to light, then compare it with a working neighbor to see how the flame and spark differ. Grease inside the knob stem can make a valve feel stiff, and we look at that during the same visit.
If you ever smell gas, leave the house and call the gas utility from outside. We give a written price first and back our work with a 30-day workmanship warranty.
They take the most heat, spills and cleaning. Igniters and caps in front get covered with residue sooner. Regular cleaning helps, and we can replace worn parts.
Grease creeping into the stem is a frequent cause. We can clean and lubricate where appropriate or replace the valve if it has worn. A stiff knob is worth checking before it fails.
Turn it off and check that the cap is seated and the ports are clear. If it keeps lifting after cleaning, call us so we can inspect the burner and gas pressure at the cooktop.
Book in about a minute, or call the desk. Same-day windows inside the Loop on most days, next-day across the rest of Houston.
