Brand Know-How

What to Know About JennAir

JennAir introduced downdraft ventilation in 1965, pulling smoke down through the cooktop instead of up into a hood. Today JennAir is part of Whirlpool Corporation and sells two design collections.

  • RISE: a bold, pro-style look with brushed and polished metal details.
  • NOIR: a sleek, modern, minimalist look in dark finishes.
  • Downdraft systems need clean grease filters and a clear duct to the outside.
  • Whirlpool-family parts mean many JennAir repairs can be done in one visit.

Downdraft vents in Pacifica homes often end at an outside wall cap that faces salt air. Rusted flaps can block airflow. Our range hood repair page explains more about vent caps.

Downdraft Guide

Keep Your JennAir Downdraft Pulling Strong

Downdraft vents work against the natural rise of smoke, so they need to be in good shape.

  • Wash the grease filter under the vent grate every month.
  • Wipe the vent grate so grease doesn't drip into the blower.
  • Use the back burners for tall pots, closer to the vent.
  • Check the outside vent cap once a year for rust or nests.

FAQs

JennAir Appliance Repair FAQs

Who owns JennAir?

JennAir is part of Whirlpool Corporation, so many JennAir appliances share parts and designs with Whirlpool, KitchenAid and Maytag.

Why is my JennAir downdraft not pulling smoke?

A greasy filter is the most common cause. A blocked duct, a stuck outside vent flap or a weak blower motor can also cut airflow. We clean, test and repair the full path.

Do you repair old JennAir downdraft ranges?

Yes. Many older JennAir downdraft ranges are still worth repairing, and many parts remain available. We'll tell you honestly if a part can't be found.

What are JennAir RISE and NOIR?

They're JennAir's two design collections. RISE has a bold, pro-style look with metal accents, while NOIR has a sleek, modern, minimalist look.

Why won't my JennAir oven heat?

A failed bake element, temperature sensor or control relay is the usual cause. On gas ovens, a weak igniter is common. We test each part before replacing anything.

Is JennAir repair worth it?

Usually, yes. JennAir appliances are built in and match your kitchen design, so repair is often far cheaper than replacing and redoing trim.

Are you a JennAir authorized service center?

No. We're an independent repair company. If your JennAir appliance is under warranty, contact JennAir first. After that, we can help.
