My motherboard is gone on my whirlpool RBS305PDS16 oven, and I want to replace it. (1) Is this a simple "do it yourself job"? (2) I would like to know how to unfasten the white clip that the fuse wires go into (P2 fuse white clip with aprox 5 wires coming out of it). It seems stuck in the motherboard. Thanks in advance.

ANSWER Hello Jerry,
If the connector has a lock on feature, there will be an extra plastic part to the side of the connector that the standoff is on, on the control board. This will either be released by compressing either the wire end of the connector or, on some designs, will need to be compressed in the center of the connector. I use a pair of 90° needle nosed pliers to accomplish this task. If it doesn't look "doubled", it probably has no locking feature and will have to be simply pulled straight off.
