I got a new ERC for my JennAir from repairclinic.com. I wasn't 100% sure
that the ERC was the problem, so I verified that I could return the part if
it didn't solve the problem. I think that $400 would be at the top of the
scale for a new controller, so I would shop around. Replacing it was pretty
simple but it involved a lot of wires, many with the same color, so you have
to make sure to label everything very well.
