Jeff G. January 21, 2015 for Model Number RBS305PDS16 I had to replace the bake element after it fused itself to the wall of the oven in what can only be described as a "thermal event". More like an arc weld, but you get the idea. (10 years old at this point). I ordered the new part, replaced it, and it fires right up and is solid. Now we put some banana bread in and set it to 350f. After about 10 minutes I smell burning. I open the door and the bake element is red hot- and the oven feels like it's 500f. I turned it off, let it cool, and retried at a lower temp. All was well. 2 or 3 times later, same symptom- set the preheat, walk away, and it's insanely hot. I metered the temp sensor at 1083ohms. Do I have a bad board?
1 Answer Jeff, It's highly likely, When the element shorted, the voltage spike could have damaged the internal contacts of the bake relay, The warped or weakened contacts could cause the oven to overheat. Read More...
John P November 13, 2014 for Model Number RS675PXGB12 The clock won't reset and when you try to bake it won't turn the element on. I believe it is because the clock won't respond. I am thinking I need to replace AP3851248. Does that sound right? Thanks
1 Answer Hello John. Yes, if the clock is not working, the unit will not bake properly. If some of the buttons are not working, then you will need to replace the control panel WP4456312. Read More...
Debbie June 16, 2014 for Model Number GBS307PDT11 I measured 120v at control board, p2-3 and p2-1. I also have line voltage at p1-2 and R. There are no lights on control panel. Is this a bad control board?
1 Answer Hello Debbie, This will be a bad control board WP8302994 since the display is part of the control board. Read More...
Rachel H May 02, 2014 for Model Number RBS305PD86 When pushing the increase baking temp button, the temp only decreases. Cannot get temp to increase on the panel.
1 Answer Hello Rachel. The part you need to replace, 4451339, has been permanently discontinued by the manufacturer and we don't know of any source or replacement for the part. You can try removing the ribbon cable from the control board and cleaning it with a pencil eraser and some rubbing alcohol to see if that fixes it. Read More...
David March 17, 2014 for Model Number Gbs307pds11 Initial problem was baking element not heating, removed it and it ohm out at 27.8. I reinstalled worked fine, while I was checking it, each time I opened the oven door the baking element stopped working. Is that normal ??
1 Answer David, No it is not normal for the bake element to shut off when you open the oven door. This issue will either be caused by a wiring issue or a control board issue. Read More...
Daryl D February 14, 2014 for Model Number RS610PXGW1 The oven lights on our drop-in range, has started blinking on-off for no reason. If I turn the light on it stays on, shut it off it starts blinking. Also when it is blinking, there is a clicking noise with it.
1 Answer Daryl, Based on the description this issue would be caused by a faulty control board WP8302994. Read More...
Larry S January 07, 2014 for Model Number Whirlpool Built-In Electric Convection Oven My wife was performing the self-cleaning feature and had designated 2 1/2 hour cleaning. After being on for about an hour, the display screen went blank and the door would not release after oven was cool. The breaker did not go off but there was a smell that reminded me of a transformer. I am suspecting that the control panel has malfunctioned. Before ordering a replacement, does that sound logical. The oven is nearly 9 years old and I'm torn between repairing versus replacing. I would appreciate your thoughts and comments. Thank you!
1 Answer Hello Larry. It sounds like the thermal fuse WP4451042 may be bad for the control board. 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...
Richard January 05, 2014 for Model Number RBS245PDQ16 Oven goes into Lock after reaching about 300 and indicates error code E2 F3. Do you think this is the control board? If so, is replacing the control board in a RBS245 similar to the instructions I see listed for the RBS305? Remove screws at bottom, remove trim, remove board keeping track of harnesses?
1 Answer Hello Richard, The procedures will be the same in these two models. The difference here is the internal circuitry and the features on the display. The E2-F3 is the fault code for the oven temperature too high (over 575° in cook mode). 1. Check sensor connection. 2. Measure sensor resistance (1080O at [70°F]; add 2O per degree). If resistance is not valid, replace sensor. 3. If sensor resistance and connections are good, then the oven cavity temperature must have exceeded a safe level. Check for welded-closed relays on the control. Read More...
Nick January 01, 2014 for Model Number RBS305PDQ16 Hello Nick. if the sensor is reading 850 at room temp, it is bad. However, it does not make the board turn off. It sounds like the control board and the sensor will need to be replaced on the unit. You can test L1 on the board and see if there is 120 volts AC there. If so, board is bad. Thanks for the answer. I checked L1, L2, N, and E. All of them are 120V. The normal is 240V, right? Do I need to check the suppressor and how to check it? Thanks
1 Answer Hello Nick. No, L1 And L2 should be 120 volts. However, if you test across L1 and L2, then it becomes 240 volts. Read More...
