Jacob October 09, 2012 for Model Number zet757ba1bb Is it easier to replace the Latch Oven Assembly? Where is it located? My oven is zet757ba1bb even though the lower door is open I always have a blinking "LOCKED" light. When I try bake or broil or any other button I get the message "DOOR". The upper oven works perfectly. Do you think it's this part that I need? And again, How do I replace it? Part Number: AP4538774 MFG Part Number: WB49T10020.
1 Answer Hi. Remove the lower door. Remove the trim panel above the lower door (it is also the one below the top door). The door latch part #WB49T10020 is accessed from behind the cover. Note all switch wiring before replacing the latch for proper reinstalation. Thank You. Read More...
Patrick September 12, 2012 for Model Number JKP45BW1BB I have gone through several part replacements on this older oven (original with house 15 years ago), replacing the control panel and ECB, then finally the upper door latching motor assembly. However, the motor appears to be stuck in an impossible state--the motor shows UNLOCKED when the rotor arm assembly (and door) are LOCKED, and it shows the reverse (door is unlocked and open when the switches are in the LOCKED position. As this particular motor is so poorly designed for access (the switches are impossible to get at without removing it from its mount, and then only with some difficulty) it's quite a chore but I'm willing to try anything that will reset the motor into a sane state. One post my wife ran across but doesn't have a link for is a suggestion that the motor power wires (red tabs) were crossed somehow and this caused the situation. I tried reversing them but still get the frustrating blinking "locked" signal on the panel and a complete shutdown of whatever action was tried (Self-clean or bake) in mid-process because the programmed logic apparently can't correct itself. Is there ANY way at all of resetting the motor into a sane state so that the rotor is where it's supposed to be when the switches say LOCKED/UNLOCKED???
1 Answer Hi Patrick. First turn off the power and wait a couple minutes, then reset the power on. Make sure the door switch part # WB24K5061 is operating ok because it interrupts the door latch power. Cycle the self clean to reset the new latch motor into the proper position. Use a volt meter part # MA-DM1 to see if you have 120 vac out put from the back of the clock at L-1 to MDL 1 & 2. This assures the clock relay output. If not then you need the control part # WB27T10290. Check all internal connector terminal pins to see if they are connecting when applied. Thank You. Read More...
Greg June 06, 2011 for Model Number JTP56WA2WW I replaced my old oven control board (Robertshaw) with a new a Sanyo/Torisan controller. I also had to change out the upper oven latch assembly because I guess there were some clearance issues and also the motor was different? However, I never received a new latch assembly/motor for the bottom oven and when I go to use the SELF Clean function the door won't lock. So what part do I need to buy? Just a new motor for the old Kinston Latch or a whole new Neo latch assembly like the one in the top oven? What is the correct part number that I need to buy?
1 Answer Hello Greg. Did you already install the new motor for the lower oven WB49T10020 latch? If so, review your connections and verify the motor is connected correctly. Thanks! Read More...
