John M. October 26, 2012 for Model Number GLEFZ389HCB Ref: J3....When attaching the connectors to the controller,there are 8 pins and 7 on the female connector. Do I connect starting from the left or right. This controls cooling fan oven light and door latch. Ref Display PCB-P11 thru P8.same problem. I would appreciate your help. Thank you so much.
1 Answer Hi. The female connector will have an external tab sticking out from one corner of the connector. It will quickly allow you to find the # 1 terminal. The control board has the male connector pins. Look closely and see the # 1 pin will not have # 2 pin. It will be "missing" on purpose to help denote correct pin connection. If your units wiring have a different amount of female connections then just make sure you are installing the correct wiring cable in the correct terminal bunch ( P1-P2-P3 etc...). The new control may have changed pin connection locations for the same wiring. They may have moved it to a different area. A control board is universal to similar models close to your type and have more connections for different functions. So it can be used in more then one unit. Thank You. Read More...
Jeff D. December 18, 2011 for Model Number gleff389hbb On the controller what does the L2 in, L2 out connect to?
1 Answer Hello Jeff. The L2 on the controller 316462805, L2 comes off the terminal block into the "in" terminal on the board, then "out" to the bake and broil elements. Hope this helps. Read More...
Jeff D. December 15, 2011 for Model Number GLEF389HBB Thanks for your response to my first question. It seems I have a Bigger problem. I pulled the access panel off and discovered that the connector (or Plug)for L2 in and L2 out is fried! Melted with black soot around it. It actually appears it may have had an open flame. In my opinion, this type of failure should never occur, in todays world. How could I pull that much current through that plug?
1 Answer Hello Jeff. Based on the information you provided, it sounds like there was a surge or a short at that connector. You will need to replace the controller 316462805 and the wiring harness 316510608. Hope this helps. Read More...
Jeff December 14, 2011 for Model Number GLEF389HBB The elemnts seem to be working, but oven never seems to reach the proper temp? What do I check and in what order?
1 Answer Hello Jeff. Test the oven sensor 316490000. It should read 1100 ohms at room temperature and 1650 ohms at 350°. If it is good, you will need to replace the control board 316462805. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3. Here is a link on how to use a multi-meter.
