JennAir invented the downdraft cooktop and has been building high-end kitchen appliances since 1961. Their downdraft ventilation, built-in refrigeration, and Icon-series ranges have specific service needs. Kodiak's Edmonton techs know the JennAir platform inside and out.
JennAir began with Louis Jenn, whose Indianapolis company — founded in 1947 — introduced the first self-ventilating downdraft cooktop in 1961 — a technology that let you install a range in the middle of an island without an overhead hood. That single innovation defined the brand for the next 60+ years.
Today JennAir is owned by Whirlpool Corporation and remains their premium American brand. The lineup focuses on built-in refrigeration, wall ovens, and their signature downdraft cooktops. Repair work on JennAir is a specialty — the downdraft motor assemblies in particular require techs who know the platform.
Honest note from Kodiak: JennAir appliances are feature-rich and well-built. Ice maker issues on certain French door fridge models are a well-documented weak point in the industry. We'll always give you a straight diagnosis before recommending a repair.
Our Edmonton technicians have seen every JennAir failure mode. We’ll carry the most common parts on every truck so most repairs can be done in a single visit.
The downdraft ventilation motor is JennAir's signature part. When it fails, the whole cooktop is affected. We diagnose motor vs. control vs. ductwork before quoting.
JennAir electric cooktop elements and induction coils can fail individually. We diagnose which element is faulty and replace only what's needed.
Convection fan motors on JennAir wall ovens develop bearing wear or fan blade damage. Usually a straightforward diagnosis and replacement.
Column-style built-ins pack a lot of electronics into a narrow cabinet. Start relays, overload protectors, evaporator fans, defrost components and control boards are the parts that actually fail, and each is a defined replacement once it has been properly identified.
JennAir's Icon control panels can develop touch-response or display issues. We diagnose whether it's the panel itself, a wiring issue, or a control board fault.
Warming drawers on JennAir wall oven combos use heating elements that eventually fail. Straightforward element swap in most cases.
Washers, dryers, fridges, dishwashers, stoves and freezers — we fix them all.
You get a firm labour quote before we start. Parts shown separately on your invoice.
Labour for most JennAir repairs — parts replacement or labour-only. Parts quoted separately when needed.
Applied toward your repair if you proceed. Covers diagnosis and travel.
Multi-part failures, jobs needing two people, appliances in tight or built-in spaces, and repairs where the time varies too much to flat-rate. Priced on diagnosis.
How it works: Labour is our flat rate, quoted before we start. Parts are quoted separately. Some parts take longer to source; we'll always tell you upfront.
We're based in Edmonton and know every neighbourhood. No call centre — just a local team that shows up when they say they will.
Every Kodiak job comes with liability insurance. Every part we install carries a 90-day warranty — the part and the labour to fit it. See what’s covered → Your home is protected — and so is the repair.
We quote labour as a flat rate before we start. Parts shown separately — no hidden fees, no hourly clock running while we work.
Yes — JennAir downdraft is one of our specialties. Most general repair techs avoid it because parts are model-specific and diagnosis requires knowledge of the platform. We know it.
Yes. Column refrigeration requires additional service access work (removing panels, sliding units) and we quote fairly for the extra labour.
Common wear items (elements, fans, controls) are readily available. Downdraft motors and column-fridge specific parts sometimes take a few extra business days. We'll always give you a timeline before you approve the repair.
Usually yes, especially built-in units. The install cost of a replacement built-in is substantial, so repairing a working platform often makes better financial sense than replacing. We'll do the honest math with you.
Yes. We service the full JennAir residential lineup — older Icon-series units and the newer Rise and Noir design collections.
We do post-warranty repairs only. If your appliance is still under the manufacturer's warranty, contact JennAir directly to have an authorized warranty technician handle it. Once the warranty period has passed, we're happy to step in — flat-rate pricing, and a 90-day warranty on our own parts and labour.
Pick a time online and we’ll call or text to confirm it.
