Product review (2 stars): Slow in heating up, element turns off and on to maintain set temp
Much slower than coil in heating up which is ok with my wife because of the beautiful, flat ceramic glass top which makes our 30-year-old Jenn Air look fabulous. But when heating elements started turning off then on then off ... as its way to maintain the set temperature my wife was pulling her hair off seeing food sizzling before cooling down a bit then sizzling for a short while again ... According to the manual the HI setting is supposed to provide constant-on heating without the above-mentioned power cycling effect, but it is not consistent, for sometimes it still turns off and on. Could it be caused by the old Jenn Air C301 circuitry? However, both electric outlets measure 245 volts, plus that a brand new replacement coil cartridge works just fine.
