How to Troubleshoot & Replace Whirlpool AP7014577 / W11528249 Range Control Board

The new control board is basically plug and play, the display is bright and the replacement took about 30 minutes. The only issues were unlocking the small board connectors, and straightening the two sheetmetal back panels before reattachment. 

The service packet included defining the error codes. It said it was either a communication board or temperature senor. Also the broiling element always stayed on. I verified that the temperature sensor was okay then ordered the new board that arrived on the second day, I did expedite. Changing the board took about 10 minutes. Then it worked great. 

I went to YouTube and found a video showing how simple it was to replace the control board so I ordered a replacement part from AppliancePartsPros.com. It was easy to find the part because I had the model # of my range and the exploded parts diagrams make it simple to identify the required part. I removed the back panel and the control unit was held by two self-tapping screws. There were six (I recall) connectors that had to be unplugged. Remove and replace; it was as simple as that. The hardest task was moving the range out far enough so I could access the back panel. It took less than 30 minutes. 

Pulled the old board assembly out and put in the new one. 

Took the back off and used a multimeter to check heating element which was fine. Ordered the control board and installed it. 

Replace the control panel. 

Purchased replacement panel. Shut off breaker, removed drawer from bottom of range, pulled stove out from cabinets and wall. Removed back sheet metal panel with electric drill and square head bit. 10 screws total. Unplugged 6 color coded connectors and removed 2 screws to detach panel. Reinstalled connectors on panel, reattached panel, turned on breaker, tested perfect. Remounted protective sheet metal. Cleaned floor and back of range. About a 2 on a scale of 1 to 10. Very simple, minimum effort.
