Angie October 01, 2019 for Model Number RBD305PRS00 The oven only heats to about 250 degrees. The upper element turns red, at least partially, the lower does not change color. Am I correct in assuming it is the lower element that needs to be changed? Thanks!
1 Answer Angie, with the power turned off to the unit, the bake element can be tested for resistance to see if it has failed. The bake element WPW10207397 should measure around 28 ohms of resistance. If the resistance does not read 27 to 29 ohms, then it would need to be replaced. If the element tests good, then the issue would likely be in the control board WPW10438750. Unfortunately, if the control is the cause, it has been discontinued by the manufacturer and is no longer available. Read More...
1 Answer Hello Joe. You will need to check the bake element and make sure it is good and is working properly in the unit. We will need your model number to help you with this. Please call 1-877-477-7278 or post your model number with a new question on the parts page. http://www.appliancepartspros.com/modelnumber_locator.aspx Read More...
Joe August 30, 2017 for Model Number RBD275PDB14 Both the top and bottom ovens take at least 20 - 30 minutes to preheat to the desired temperature. When they are fully preheated, the temperatures are accurate. The preheat timer buzzes after about ten minutes but the oven has only heated about half of what is was preset at. Does this indicate a bad heating element or another issue? Thanks.
2 Answers Joe, Everything sounds fine and there are no issues. It still takes 20 to 30 minutes to "properly Preheat" an oven. The newer controls, are designed to sound an alarm in a specific amount of time, and/or, the first time the sensor registers the resistance/temperature in the oven cavity. This is referred to as "tempering" the oven/cavity, it's not a preheat cycle. The "tempered" oven will operate and cook just fine in most cases(95%), but if you're cooking something special, delicate or a specific recipe, you'll want to properly preheat the oven (20 to 30 minutes). Thanks, Read More...

2 Answers Hello Joe, You should first flip the breaker to the oven off and back on to make sure half of it is not tripped. The next suspect will be the connection in the junction box where the cord from the unit is hardwired to the home wiring. If this is good, the next likely suspect is the control board WPW10438751.

Tina February 13, 2017 for Model Number RBS305PRS02 My heating elements do not work both broiler and oven but everything else works the cleaning element clock etc. Will replacing both Units fix or do I need to have someone look at it. Heard a pop during storm and hasn't worked since.
1 Answer Hello Tina. Most likely it is not the elements. It sounds like the control board WPW10340935 may be bad in the unit since you heard a pop during a storm. You will need to test it to be sure. Read More...
Didgie January 14, 2016 for Model Number RBS305PRS02 What is the gauge of the wire that connects to coil. One of the female connectors is fried so I need to put a new female end on the wire.
1 Answer Didgie, The wire that would connect to the heating element would be a high temp 12 guage wire. Read More...
Rich May 14, 2013 for Model Number GMC275PDQ5 Whirlpool Oven Unit: Boiler element working, baking does not. Pulled out bottom element and left hand wire burned off at connector. Unit tripped breaker. Is it a bad element or some other issue that caused short, and now what do I do about hte burned connector. Thanks for your help.
1 Answer Rich, You will want to check the resistance of the element to make sure that it is good. The resistance should be approximate 28.8 ohms. If it has proper resistance then the part is good. If not then replace the element. The connector can be replaced with a high voltage 1/4" female spade terminal. Read More...
Michael R. April 08, 2013 for Model Number RBD277PDQ1 I have a Whirlpool Double Oven (Model # RBD277PDQ1) wall unit. I ran the self-cleaning cycle and then cleaned out the oven. Since I did this, the upper oven looks like it is working according to the lights on the control panel, but it doesn't heat up at all. Neither element get's the slightest bit warm. Do you think it is a problem with the thermostat or the heating elements? By the way, the bottom oven still works fine. Thanks!
1 Answer Hello Michael. You will need to test the thermostat WP4450934 on the unit and see if it reads closed. If not, you will need to order and replace the thermostat on the unit. 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...
Ray January 19, 2013 for Model Number rmc305pdq2 My brother cleaned my oven and now nothing heats, both lower and broiler don't work. Sounds like its working but no heat.
1 Answer Hello ray, You will want to check the thermostat to make sure that it has continuity. If not then the thermostat is bad. You can check the control with the oven turned on you should get 240 vac between bake and L1. If you are not getting voltage then the control is bad. Read More...
Jon W. November 02, 2012 for Model Number rbs305pdq14 Whirlpool oven bake element not heating. Ran a continuity check of bake element and it is good, showing only about 23-30 ohms. Checked voltage on both sides of element, and they are both good 120+ volts on each. Broil element is heating normally as it would during preheat cycle. Is it safe to assume that even with good continuity there is a problem with the bake element since there is good power to each lead wire? Thanks
1 Answer Hi. The element part # WPW10207397 ohm reading is correct. Make sure you have proper 240 vac at the terminal block. Make sure you have 120 vac from each outer terminal block stud (L-1 & L-2) -to the center (neutral). Ohm each terminal separately to its mount (ground). See if the element is grounded to its outer sheath. If so then you can be getting a partial "red" heating just to the area of where it is shorted and not heating correctly. Isolate the bake feed wire from the terminal block to see if you are getting the 120 vac or if the wire connection is bad. Isolate the bake feed wire from the clock relay to the element. Put the Red meter lead into the female spade of the bake relay wire you took off the bake element. Select bake and see if you have 120 vac on the bake wire and the clock relay output is good. You have to measure voltage with at least one element wire disconnected. This way you know each feed leg (L-1 & L-2) are good and you are not reading "back-voltage through the element. A common issue allowing one to think that they do have the correct voltage. Tricky if you will. Thank You. Read More...
