How to Troubleshoot & Replace Whirlpool AP6012769 / WP8507P234-60 Oven Control Board

Replaced the Jenn Aire control board again. They last about 2 years. Straight-forward to replace, as you only have to remove 6 screws to tilt the whole panel front out and replace board, but annoying that the manufacturer's board is so unreliable, not to mention the cost of the board. 

Replaced Electronic Control board after confirming voltage to the board. 

I replaced the oven sensor first (should have tested the old one, but my 40-year-old multimeter died!) The new probe didn't fix it, so I suspected the circuit board. I got this confirmed by the helpful and knowledgeable technician that I spoke with on the phone. The new board came and it took less than an hour to install in a Jenn-Air JES9800JAC1. I needed to slide it out a couple of inches and remove about 6 screws, tip the front panel down, unplug the board and remove, then reinstall. I then reassembled and tested. Previously the broiler (top) element came on, but it didn't with the new circuit board, so I was fairly confident. The oven heated correctly with no error message. I was quoted a price of "between $500-$600" for the board by phone from a local repair company, and this way I had no labor costs or service call charge! While I was at it, I replaced the oven door gasket while in repair mode, so we should be in good shape for a while. My wife says the cleaner they sold me is better than what she had been using, too.
