Hi Everyone,
I have a client who is getting new countertops and floors for her 1952 (completely remodeled when they purchased it in 1963) home. Her Jenn Air oven and cooktop currently don't work (except for one burner), and VolvoGuy87 is trying to help fix it so that it can be saved and incorporated into the new kitchen. Dave mentioned that someone on the forum had repaired one of these, but I couldn't find the post. But I need to know where I might find some parts for this stove. Specifically, I need new knobs for the cooktop, and then we should know after Saturday what's wrong with the appliance itself. I'd rather not use generic knobs, if possible. Just for some gratuitous pleasure, there's a shot of the whole kitchen, the new tile (pale blue, and glass), and the 1963 Frigidaire dishwasher. Wes | ||

Original Jenn-Air Cook-Top And Ovens
Hi Wes, it should not be all that difficult to get that CT and oven working, while I agree that I would not use generic knobs you can use the next generation JA knobs which would look great on this range, the switches and surface elements are completely generic, let me know if Dave can't find the needed parts.

Holy Moly !! Jenn Aire made an eye level oven too??? Where was I ??? I had no idea the 1960's spawned an eye level oven war !! That range is totally cool !!! Get it going !! Chuck and Rich if I learn enough on my Flair this summer then maybe we can yank your JA and have a redo weekend and get that sucker working to full potential again !!

Jetcone,
I'll bring this one up too! The owner really doesn't appreciate them, probably because she's had them since they were new, and a lot of the time they haven't worked. We may need a new element for the upper oven, as she may have accidentally thrown it out at some point. Dave was drooling over the basically NOS dishwasher, pictures will be forthcoming. Wes | ||

what year is that dishwasher?
Growing up we had a Frigidaire Custom Imperial portable that dad coverted to a permanent connection. It was one of the slant top, top loading models. It had a bunch of buttons - no dial except for the one to latch the top shut. We got in in the late '60's or early '70's I think. It was removed and given to a friend in 1972 when we redid the kitchen and got a TOL Roper built in to replace it. I would rather have the Frigidaire now... :-)
I am not sure about the cleaning capabilities of it but I used to unload it after school and there were usually a "reject" that needed to be rewashed. But it was gone when I was 8 so I dunno. Would love to find one of those. The controls made such cool clicking sounds (with flashing lights) when you cancelled a cycle. | ||

Alan,
The dishwasher up in this thread is completely different from the one your parents had. Frigidaire redesigned it's front-loading dishwashers in the 1965 lineup and while they weren't as durable as the previous ones, they did have a larger capacity and were more flexible. The slant top models were introduced as 1968 models but they were very similar to the front-loading ones from the same period. I have a 1969 Custom Imperial front loading model and a 1970 Imperial (without the rapid advance timer) with the slant top.
1969 Custom Imperial
1970 Imperial slant top
The earlier spray tube (this one is from 1962)
And my 1963 spray tube dishwasher being examined by Paul when I got it from Robert. The 1964 model was almost unchanged but it added a motorized drain valve instead of a solenoid-actuated drain valve and a slightly altered cycle to allow time for the drain valve to open and close before the pump would start. The 1965 and newer models got reversing motors and had a completely redesigned washing system like the 1969-70 dishwashers pictured above.
