Bake and oven light do not work, do I need the control panel replaced?
Ed V for Model Number Mew5530ddb
Answer Hello Ed,
You will want to check to see if you are getting power to the light and bake element. If you check for voltage on the control board from connector p15 pin 2 to connector P2 pin 3 you should have 120vac. If you do not then you have a bad control. If you do then check bulb. Also check from connector P4 from bake to L1 pins 1 to 4 for 240 vac. If not correct voltage replace control board if correct then check wiring and element. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3. Here is a link on how to use a multi-meter. http://forum.appliancepartspros.com/oven-repair-including-ranges-cooktops/4810-how-check-continuity-ohmmeter.html
The door is locked close. Unplug power to try to reset, but it did not work.

Answer Hello John. To repair the unit, you will need to replace both the door lock W10186996 and the control board 74008960 on the unit.
