The A106 Series and A38LP are among the earliest documented cartridge cooktops in JennAir’s history, with the LP designation marking a propane-fuel configuration for homes without natural gas service. Cooktops this old are serviced with the same principle that underpins JennAir’s entire classic cartridge system: a single failed cartridge, blower, or damper is repaired on its own rather than treating the whole cooktop as beyond saving.
Key Features
- Electric and LP-gas drop-in cartridge cooktops from JennAir's earliest downdraft lineup
