How to Troubleshoot & Replace Whirlpool AP6009736 / WP5701M796-60 Range Oven Control Board

Put the new part in works great took about 30 minutes 

I took the back off and saw there was an area of the circuit board that looked like something had melted. The replacement control panel arrived in 2 days and took about 20 min. to install. Easy peasy! 

Replaced control panel took about 30 minutes. 

Ordered a new control board on Monday. Came the next day. Installed it Friday. I recommend detaching the bad control board with wires intact. Then attach the new board and one by one remove the plugs and plug into the new board. Looks a little scary but if done this way you can’t confuse the locations of the plug-ins. 

Replaced the control board. It took me a little longer to complete the job as I carefully cleaned everything on the stove once I had it apart. I also tie wrapped some of the wiring harnesses to keep them together on the routing. I marked all the wire bundles before disassembly so there would be no mistakes. It was a very easy job, just a little time consuming wrestling the stove out of its nook. Everything works fine now. 

Bought the part and replaced the main controller and everything worked.. Thank you ! 

Control board replacement 

The replacement couldn't have been easier. 

Bought control board, when I took off back upper cover saw the culprit immediately, a capacitor had fallen out of its soldered socket and was laying on a sheet metal bracket. (not fixable by me!), the new board went in fine, had to watch a youtube video on removing the ribbon cable, but the connector transfers went fine, took an hour when all said and done. Take photos of the connectors to help transfer, but they are all foolproof anyway, with unique pin patterns so you can't put a plug in the wrong place. Some needle nose pliers helped remove some of the connector plugs (being careful not to break anything), at least if you break something, it is on the bad control board anyway which is being discarded. 

The second hardest part of the fix was finding the screws that needed to be removed; the hardest was replacing screws in the bottom-front of the control panel cover. Once the control panel was accessible, the replacement was simple! The only reason it took me as long as it did, was because I didn't know what screws to remove, then had to undo some of my reassembly when I discovered I hadn't put the control panel cover all the way over the back panel of the stove. If I knew what I was doing, it probably would have taken about 30 minutes.
