Thom for Model Number Kitchenaid KESC307HBS8

Answer Hello Thom. Yes, the thermostat 9759944 under the cooktop will close at 158° and turn on the fan. If not, you will need to replace the thermostat. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3.

Answer Hello Carle. No, you can remove the control panel and access it. 1. Unplug range or disconnect power. 2. Pull the range forward far enough to access the end cap screws. 3. To remove the control panel: a) Remove the screw from each end cap. b) Open the oven door and remove the three screws from the bottom of the control panel. c) Lift the front of the control panel, pull it forward, and slide the front edge of the cooktop glass out of the slot in the front of the panel. d) Rotate the control panel up and over so the bottom side faces up. To remove a bimetal switch: a) Remove the wires from the terminals. b) Remove the mounting screw. 

Carle B. for Model Number kesc307hbto

Answer Hello Carle. Test for power coming out of the control board 3191106 going to the elements. If there is power going to the clock, but none going to the elements, you will need to replace the control board in the unit. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3.

Eddie C. for Model Number Kesc307hbs8

Answer Hello Eddie. If the oven preheats, then shuts off, you will need to test the oven sensor and make sure it reads around 1100 ohms at room temperature. If so, replace the control board 9782437 on the unit. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3.

John for Model Number kerc607hbt6

Answer Hi John. Usually after a considerably amount of use and cleaning temperatures, this will open . This will not allow operation of the oven bake or broil. Part # 9759944. Thank You. 

John for Model Number KGSA906PWH00

Answer Hello John. That is the name of the part. It is a fixed thermostat. There was no problem. If the one on your oven is blown, you will need to replace it. Hope this helps.
