Darrell December 29, 2012 for Model Number RF368LXMT Broiler stopped working. Replaced element still not working. Oven won't regulate temperature. While on bake, broiler sometimes comes on and oven gets too hot yielding error code F3E2. While on broil element barely gets warm. Replaced Thermal Fuse. No change. Any ideas on what I should replace next?
1 Answer Hello Darrell, The F3E2 would indicate a faulty oven sensor. You will want to test the resistance of the sensor. The resistance should be 1090 ohms at room temp. If it is not at the proper reading then you will want to replace the oven sensor. 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...
Teresa April 28, 2012 for Model Number rf262lxsbo Can I still use the oven til my new element comes in?
1 Answer Hello Teresa! If the broil element only is bad, yes, you can still use the oven although it may take a little longer to bake. Thanks! Read More...
1 Answer Melvin, you will need to unscrew the broil element from the back wall of the oven. Once unscrewed, pull out from the back wall and remove the wiring from the element. Make sure you do not drop the wiring in the back of the oven wall. Once wires are removed, install the wires on the new element and put the element back in. Be sure to remove all power to the unit before attempting any repairs. Thanks.) Read More...
Rachel November 22, 2011 for Model Number RF385PXEW0 After taking the broiler element out it doesn't appear to look bad. Is there a way to check it to see if it is bad, like a continuity check or something? Just don't want to buy a new one if I don't need it. Thanks for the help. Happy Thanksgiving!
1 Answer Hi Rachel. Yes, you can use a ohmmeter and check to see if it has 18-28ohms. Also check it for shorts to the case From one lead to another (grounds). It can be open ( 0- ohms ). If this is the issue, then the element is part # W10856603. You should have 120 vac on one lead constantly , and awaiting the other 120 vac from the clock control. So if you check the element for voltage of 240 vac, do it with one lead off the terminal (carefully) . This way you do not "read " voltage through the element. Thank You. Read More...
Dennis November 22, 2011 for Model Number rf385pxew0 How do you replace the broiler element? Thank you for the help.
1 Answer Hello Dennis. Disconnect the power to the unit. Remove the screws securing the element in place and pull the element out of the back wall enough to unplug the wires going to the element. Remove the wires from the element and install them onto the new element W10856603. Push the element into place and install the screws into the element to secure it. Restore the power and check for proper operation. Hope this helps. Read More...
