Richard April 21, 2016 for Model Number 790.9621340c Oven takes forever to preheat. I read somewhere that the oven switches between the broiler element and the lower oven element when preheating. However after checking the broiler element never switches on until I actually press the broiler button on the control/clock panel. Would you consider the control/clock board or this relay board as the most likely culprit?
1 Answer Richard, The part that would cause the unit to not cycle between the broil and bake would be the control board 316557238. Read More...
Terry S. April 14, 2015 for Model Number 790.9621340c My front Left burner went out, all other burners and oven work fine. I have replaced the switch, and element but still get no heat when turned on. Was thinking of replacing the relay board 316429301 next. Do you think this might solve issue?
1 Answer Hello Terry, This sounds like the simmer control board 316429301 is the issue. You should call us for a return authorization on the other parts if they were purchased from us. Read More...
Sylvia April 06, 2015 for Model Number 79096424400 What does part#316429301 control? have replaced oven control board. Does above referenced part control simmer select and burner temps? .
1 Answer Hello Sylvia. No, the board is used to control the oven. The infinite switches control the top burners. Read More...
Steve J November 01, 2014 for Model Number 79094223904 The oven and the burners are not heating up. When turned on I get the lights on showing the burner or oven is on but it does not heat up. I have power to the range and the terminal block is working. I'm stumped because both the oven and the burners are out.
1 Answer Steve, You may be loosing 1 leg of the power to the unit. You will want to make sure that you have 240 vac at the terminal block. If you do then you will want to check the wiring of the unit. Read More...
Kimberly October 16, 2014 for Model Number 79096213404 I was cooking and stove made a loud pop and went out. Sparks were seen behind the stove on right side. I was cooking on the simmer select burner and the main burner at the time. I checked the breaker box and the cord and did not find anything wrong there. What would you suggest that I do next?
1 Answer Hello Kimberly. You need to check the switches and see if one is bad and will need to be replaced. 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 Read More...
Ron July 21, 2014 for Model Number 7909642340D Breaker trips, one phase shows short circuit. Following leads for that phase led me to the cooktop lockout board: when input power is disconnected breaker no longer trips. Board input terminal shows zero resitance to ground when output is connectord or not, so I'm thinking the board is the culprit. Board part number is 316429301. Do you agree?
1 Answer Ron, Based on the unit not tripping the circuit with the supply being removed from it would indicate that it is the board that is causing the issue. Without being able to pull a wiring diagram on the unit it is difficult to say for 100% but would be likely. Read More...
Roger July 11, 2014 for Model Number 7909643400 I've confirmed everything is working but I'm not getting current out of the cooktop control board for the particular burner. Bypassing the control board with current, it works so I've confirmed everything else to be working - i.e. switch, burner. The only thing I'm uncertain of is whether or not the relay on the cooktop control board for the simmer select element is supposed to default open (off), with all the others defaulting closed (on). I tested continuity on the new control board and all the other burner power circuits have continuity (on) except this one. Appears to me I've received a faulty board. Anyone have any intimate knowledge on this question?
1 Answer Hello Roger, The relays on the board are all closed in the "off" state as per the wiring sheet on the model number you listed. If I am understanding the situation you have correctly, I would have to agree and you should call us at 1-877-477-7278 and request an exchange authorization if the part is within the one year warranty. Since we do not manufacture the parts, we appreciate your patience and understanding in the matter. Read More...
Roger June 10, 2014 for Model Number 7909643400 I had the infamous simmer select pop happen. I've replaced the simmer board and the stove lockout board as both were a little charred. Now the simmer/power element won't heat and when I push the simmer button, the lights click on and off like a clock ticking slowly- tick-tick... tick-tick... tick-tick I took the red power wire off the adjacent burner switch and connected to the simmer/power burner switch and it heated right up. Burner and switch are obviously fine. But not enough juice coming through the simmer board (when simmer is off, OR on, apparently) to power the burner. I'm suspecting a bad replacement simmer board. Ever hear of this happening? Thanks, Roger
1 Answer Roger, While it is not unheard of for a part to come in faulty, you will want to test the power going into the simmer board and the power coming out to ensure that there is proper power. Of course if there is adequate power in but not out the board is faulty. Read More...
Linda April 30, 2014 for Model Number 790.9031 Kenmore Electric Range. Push STOP button to turn oven off, red light goes out, but oven stays on (don't notice until next morning). The first time it happened I couldn't get it to go off so I unplugged range that morning and plugged back in that evening. Oven stayed off and range worked fine for couple months. This morning I noticed it still on again from last evening. Couldn't get it to go off so unplugged. Will plug back in this evening to see if it works. What could cause this in an oven barely used and only a few years old?
1 Answer Hello Linda, Since the full model number wasn't listed in your post, I cannot give you specific part numbers but the issue will be a sticking relay on the oven control board. Since individual parts are not available to be replace on the board, the complete controller assembly will have to be replaced. Note that this is a Frigidaire built Kenmore so the replacement part will come in a Frigidaire box. Read More...
Jerry December 20, 2013 for Model Number 790.96219408 Element not getting hot? surface unit switch, temperature unit switch, left front surface unit all OK, but burner not getting warm or hot?
1 Answer Hello Jerry, If all of that is good, the harness 316416877 has to have the issue since that is all that is left. Read More...
