Rae D March 21, 2015 for Model Number 47100B My Jen Air range is appox. 15 yrs old. The oven wasn't working properly. It takes an hour to heat to 350 then it might fluctuate. We have replaced the heating sensor as well as the baking element. Everything else works, except the oven temperature. What could be the problem? We live in a remote area and repairmen are not that available. Hope you can help.
1 Answer Rae, With having already replace the oven sensors and everything else working you will want to check the wiring between the sensor and control board. If this checks ok then the issue will be in the control board. Read More...
Pm January 07, 2015 for Model Number GR673LXSS1 I ordered the replacement terminal block and the new has a ground and the old had it removed. The plug itself is grounded to the same place where the terminal block appears it should be connected. Should remove the ground on the terminal block or connect it to the same ground as the plug or install the same as it was? Thanks.
1 Answer PM, With the power cord having a ground on it then you would remove the grounding strap from the terminal block. Read More...
Kurt H December 21, 2014 for Model Number G9CE3065XB00 Had a power surge...Now my electric cooktop has no power Do you think it could be the terminal block and if so. Where is it located. Already checked my circuit breakers. Kinda lost...Appreciate any help . Kurt
1 Answer Hello Kurt. Where the wiring harness goes into the burner box, it attaches to the terminal block in the unit. You need to make sure there is 240 there and nothing is damaged. Read More...
Cole March 20, 2014 I just bought this range yesterday used from a private seller. I needed to replace the 4 prong plug with a 3 prong plug. When I was hooking up the new plug the little copper tab in the middle of the terminal block broke off when I bent it to attach to the white wire on the range (it was previously not connected not sure if that is right or a big deal?). Do I need to order a new Terminal block to have this working safely/properly? Thank you for the help. Cole
1 Answer Hello Cole, The strap is removed for the four prong cord but if was present, it should be reconnected for re-installation of the three prong cord for electrical shock protection. If WP9761958 looks like your terminal block, it may work. Since there was no model number in your post, we have no way to verify. Read More...
Michael November 04, 2013 I purchased the part because the original terminal block that was installed on the range melted and failed. The same thing happened to the replacement part purchased from Appliancepartspros.com earlier last week. I have photos of the terminal block in its melted state If you would like to see them. I'm wondering what could be the cause of the catastrophic and dangerous problem. I bought a replacement yet again from your website and had my brother, a master electrician, install the new part. He thinks that the bolts that secure the wires to the block do not sufficiently tighten which cause increased resistance, thus causing heat and melting. Have you ever had any other problems with this part #? I am concerned about a potential fire hazard from this part.
1 Answer Hello Michael. The reason for this failure is not getting the nuts tight and the wires become loose and arc. You need to make sure the nuts are tight on the unit. If not, it will arc and melt the terminal block. Also, make sure none of the wires attaching to the block have any burnt places on them. If they do, replace them also. Read More...
Pat September 18, 2013 for Model Number rf214lxts My range has two red and two black and one white wire for terminal block. How do I hook it up ?
Greg November 19, 2012 for Model Number Kenmore Classic Fridge C646-7587080 Kenmore Fridge - A circuit board that looks like a terminal/fuse board - top left corner of freezer - popped, flashed and fizzled. The part of the board marked "controller" is blackened and bubbled. I'm wondering if this board likely is the thing that failed, or if it is a symptom of a bigger problem.
1 Answer Hello Greg. Based on the information you provided, it sounds like you will just need to order and replace the control board on the unit. Just make sure not hot wires are touching metal to short out on the unit. Read More...
Annette January 11, 2012 for Model Number rf196lxms2 Our black/hot wire arced and melted the plastic terminal around it. The wire from the plug and to the oven look like they are okay. Would it be safe to say the terminal block failed only, or should we be replacing more?
1 Answer Hi Annette. If the wire eyelets and all can be cleaned off with a wire brush and are all intact, then you should be OK. You can quickly tell if the cord is OK by looking at the plug end and see if they are burnt'. If so then you need to replace the cord. The terminal block needs to have 6 - 3/8 nuts so when you stack the wires onto the studs you use the first one to tighten the assy. down. Then you use the top nut to lock the nut tight onto the assy. This way it does not loosen up under the natural movement of the life. Make sure as you use the cord clamp you have some slack towards the terminal block so the wires are not tight. Terminal block part # WP9761958. Nuts part # WP112432. Make sure the house supply outlet is tight. You will need a qualified electrician to check this out. It may be best to remove power and replace it anyway. Thank You. Read More...
