The S136 is a classic-era JennAir single wall oven, sold long before the brand’s current JJW model-numbering convention. Ovens from this era rely on simpler electromechanical controls than today’s electronic touch panels, so a no-heat complaint is diagnosed with a direct continuity test of the bake and broil elements rather than a control-board readout.
