This guide covers Jenn-Air Jenn 28 with practical, technician-backed advice.
What you’ll pay to repair a Jenn-Air wall oven depends on which system has failed — the heating elements and igniters are relatively cheap to replace, while the V2 Vertical Dual-Fan Convection motors and the electronic control board sit at the higher end of the price range. There’s no single number that applies across every oven fault.

Below, our specialists break down everything you need to know about the Jenn-Air Jenn 28.
Gas Ovens: Igniter Problems
A gas wall oven that won’t heat, or takes an unusually long time to reach temperature, often has a weakening igniter that can no longer draw enough current to open the gas valve fully. Igniter replacement is one of the more affordable oven repairs and is a common, well-understood fix.
Electric Ovens: Bake and Broil Elements
Visible bake or broil elements that glow unevenly, spark, or stop heating are a straightforward diagnosis, and replacing an exposed element is typically inexpensive. Costs rise somewhat on models where the element is hidden behind a panel rather than exposed, since that adds disassembly time.
V2 Dual-Fan Convection System Failures
Jenn-Air’s V2 Vertical Dual-Fan Convection system uses two fans to circulate air more evenly than a single-fan convection oven, and when one of those fan motors fails, cooking results become uneven even though the oven still heats. Replacing a convection fan motor costs more than an element repair, both because the part is pricier and because reaching it usually means removing the back panel of the oven cavity.
Control Board and Display Failures
When an oven won’t respond to the control panel, shows a persistent error code, or won’t hold a set temperature despite good elements and igniters, a control board fault is a likely cause. This is generally the most expensive single-part repair on a wall oven, since boards are priced higher than mechanical components and are sometimes model-specific rather than universal.
Self-Clean Cycle and Door Latch Issues
A self-clean cycle that won’t start, or a door that locks and won’t release after cleaning, usually points to the door latch assembly or its motor. This is a moderate repair — more involved than an element swap, but well short of a control board replacement, and it’s a common enough fault that most technicians carry the part on hand.
Sensor Probe Failures Are Often Mistaken for Bigger Problems
Many Jenn-Air wall ovens use a temperature sensor probe that hangs inside the cavity rather than relying solely on the element’s own thermostat, and a bent or failed probe can cause wildly inaccurate temperatures even though the elements themselves are working fine. Replacing this probe is one of the more affordable oven repairs, and it’s worth having a technician check it before assuming a costlier control board issue is to blame for erratic baking results.
Temperature Calibration Isn’t Always a Repair
An oven that runs consistently hot or cool by a fixed amount, without any other symptoms, sometimes just needs recalibration through the control panel’s built-in offset setting rather than a parts replacement. It’s worth checking your owner’s manual or the guides section for the calibration steps before assuming a thermostat or sensor has failed, since this fix costs nothing and takes only a few minutes.
Single vs. Double Wall Oven Configurations
Jenn-Air offers both single and double wall oven configurations, and a double oven effectively doubles the number of elements, igniters, and sometimes fans that could fail, even though the two cavities usually share a single control board and display. When troubleshooting a double oven, it’s worth confirming which cavity is actually affected, since a fault isolated to the upper or lower oven alone rules out the shared control board as the cause.
What Determines Your Actual Cost
Total cost on any oven repair depends on the specific part that’s failed, the labor needed to access it, and whether the diagnosis reveals a second issue once the oven is opened up. A phone quote before a technician has seen the oven is only ever a rough range. Our oven repair service covers Jenn-Air wall ovens with V2 convection, and you can schedule a diagnostic for pricing based on your actual fault. Jenn-Air’s site at jennair.com has model-specific oven capacity and feature details.
