Rosie for Model Number RBS 305 PDS14 My oven is circa 2002 Whirlpool model RBS305PDS14, Its a wall oven. A tech replaced 'the brains' as he called it because it would not heat up. Now, when the oven is pre heating, it knocks the fuse trip out and the whole thing shuts down. Could it just be the oven shutdown thermal overload fuse? My Husband thinks its worth a try and I shutter at the thought of spending over 2k on a new one.
Answer Hi Rosie. There is a oven safety thermostat mounted in the center behind the very back. You need to remove power and jump these 2-wires together. Does the unit come on again? If so it is part # WP9759243. What is puzzling me is that even so , you should be able to select the command even if the part is bad. From what is explained, it sounds like you may have a loose connection. Check the terminal block for issues and make sure the wire connections are tight. Take a look behind the clock control to insure all wires are tight. Make sure the control panel gasket is intact and spongy, if it has gotten hard it might allow the oven heat to escape into the clock control area and overheat the control part # WP8302994. It is temporarily out of stock, but Availability is expected on December 28. Thank You. Read More... Answered by AppliancePartsPros.com | Thursday, December 15, 2011
