1 Answer Mia, Open the door to the fully open position. On the hinge, you will find a piece that will move up and lock the hinge into an open position. This will allow you to lift up and out to remove the door Read More...
Quinn February 06, 2022 for Model Number RF367LXSB0 I’ve recently noticed that when set to a certain temperature, the oven won’t heat to temperature as it used to. When i set to 350 degrees, what used to take about 10 mins to heat to temp, now only heats to about 150 in that time. The oven is the type that tells you it will take 6 mins to preheat to 350, so when that 6 mins elapses it automatically beeps to say preheated but was about 200 degrees too low when i checked with an oven thermometer. The oven did continue to heat up, but very slowly. In all, it took about 35 mins to heat to 350, and once there it seemed to remain, at least without anything in the oven. I'm wondering if this is more likely an issue with the heating element or the temperature sensor probe? The heating element clearly still works to some degree as it does heat up, but just takes forever. And the temp sensor still seems to work because when it gets to a temperature, it seems to stay around that temperature.
1 Answer Quinn, as this unit will cycle both the bake WPW10308477 and broil W10856603 elements on and off (one at a time) during a bake cycle, it would be recommended that they are inspected to identify if they are both operating during a bake. If one does not glow during heating, it has likely failed and is causing the unit to take longer to heat up. Read More...
Chris August 18, 2020 for Model Number RF361PXKQ I need a bake element. Would bake element AP6019197 fit my stove?
1 Answer Hello Chris, WPW10308477 is the manufacturers' recommended part for the model provided. Read More...
Ken October 17, 2019 for Model Number RF264LXSQ0 What should the resistance be on the lower element? I have 22.8 ohms. When in bake it does not heat.
1 Answer Ken, the element is testing within tolerance where it will be able to heat indicating the most likely failure to be the main control W10831410. To verify this, while accessing the unit from the back panel, the unit can be placed in bake and tested for 240VAC, if the element does not receive 240VAC, then the bake relay can be tested for voltage output by going to connection CON2 pin 7 (brown wire) to CON4 pin 1 (red wire) and if there is not 240VAC at this point the main control has failed. If there is 240VAC, then there is a wire issue that would need to be addressed. Read More...
Debra August 09, 2019 for Model Number RF365PXKW Serial no. RP1854293, Whirlpool self cleaning electric - I have a bottom element that is not working. Is this the correct part I need to replace it?
1 Answer Hello Debra, the bake element for the model number supplied is part number WPW10308477. If you've tested the element and it tested good you'll want to carefully test for 240vac to make sure the board is good. Hope this helps! Read More...
Jim April 28, 2018 for Model Number RF362LXSS0 Hello, when we turn on the oven only the top element heats up unless we turn the temp unto 500deg. If the temp is lower it doesn't cook very well. I checked the bake element and the resistance is 24ohms. I also checked the temp probe and it is 1090ohms. Is the control panel the only other thing it could be? Thanks
1 Answer Jim, For this issue the most likely cause would be a faulty main control board on the unit which is part number W10831410. Read More...
Scott October 05, 2017 How far off vs the set temp will an oven be? Ours set at 350 initially goes to 335 and then fluctuates between 325 and 340. Should we change the temperature sensor; adjust the temperature up 10 degrees or just let it go?
1 Answer Scott, It does sound likely that the temperature probe would be the issue with the unit fluctuating temps but never getting to 350 Read More...
Joann M May 07, 2017 for Model Number RF262LSXQ The oven element is "not compatible" looks just like it; where can I get one?
Jason March 13, 2017 for Model Number wfc340s0ab0 When in bake only the bottom element works, is this common for this model of whirlpool?
1 Answer Hello Jason. Yes, the bake will only work in the bake cycle. The broil only comes on to help it preheat. Read More...
Ron W. December 27, 2016 for Model Number RF325PXGO When replacing the oven heating element, I see there is a "spot" of solder added to the connector. I can use my soldering iron to remove this solder so as to be able to pull the connector apart and remove the old element. Is this solder needed when installing the new element? I see your video does not use it.
1 Answer Hello Ron, The solder is not used from the factory and is not recommended for the installation of the new part. The connection could have gotten too hot from a poor connection, the connections could have been shorted to ground in the past during an installation of the part if power was not disconnected as necessary before removal/installation, or someone could have tried to improvise during a past installation. In any case, the element should be connected to the wire using a good tight spade connector TJMA02875-1 connected to the connection on the element with no solder. Read More...
