I was just researching this same issue with mine. So are you saying the only part that you needed was the 100uF cap? Where did you get it and how hard was it to install? I don't have the manual for the oven. Rick,

Thanks for the comment. I was just researching this same issue with mine. So are you saying the only part that you needed was the 100uF cap? Where did you get it and how hard was it to install? I don’t have the manual for the oven.

Couldn't find a 68uF cap, so substituted a 100uF cap, and it works just fine. Cost: $1.59. So, the new clock/display circuit board that I thought I needed is now in a box, put away until it's actually needed.

First time was back in 2004, about a year after we first installed it. The replacement lasted until recently, although it started getting dimmer a year or two ago. The reason I'm commenting is that I don't believe the replacement of the entire circuit board & display is required. Chances are, the fluorescent display is fine in these instances, and it may be the capacitor in the circuit that drives the display. This is apparently a problem on other Jenn Air / Maytag display units, and the part would be much cheaper. If anyone reads this and has done this successfully, maybe you could post a short note. Thanks. Just replaced the clock/display on our 30430P for the second time. First time was back in 2004, about a year after we first installed it.
