Stephen September 23, 2021 for Model Number WFE371LVS0 When I turn on my oven and set it to 350 degrees, it warm up and beep like normal, but was taking longer to bake, put a oven thermometer in found out it was 100 degrees cooler. I replaced the bake element, worked once at correct temp then it went back to 100 degrees cooler, replaced the oven sensor, same results. What could be causing this>
1 Answer Stephen, based on the information provided, the failure would be in the main control WPW10476353. Read More...
Melissa September 18, 2021 for Model Number YKSEB900ESS0 We purchased this oven used and told it has no issues, however the oven does not seem to maintain temp. We turn it on and set temp. It heats up I think slowly however it is a bigger oven then our last so it might be normal for this model. It will beep saying it has reached temp. We put food into cook. We noticed food that took 45 minutes previously was taking much much longer. The display will still show the correct set temp for example 350, however if we shut of the oven and immediately turn it back on(without opening the door) and set it at 350 again the oven goes back into preheating and the temp will have dropped to 300. We have tested this multiple times, the oven seems to come up to temperature but then drops at least 50 degrees within 20 minutes. I just replaced the sensor(the one with the long probe) and nothing has changed. I have ordered the safety thermostat to try next. Any other suggestions?
1 Answer Melissa, based on the information provided, the main control W11099664 would be the most likely failure. Read More...
Jason July 22, 2021 for Model Number WFE505W0HB I have a Whirlpool range (WFE505W0HB) that is just over a year old. This morning while preheating, it shut down and the control panel went blank. There was also a smell of burning plastic. No display, no beeps nothing. I turned the breaker off and back on and no change. However, the top burners will still heat up when turned on. Any ideas??
1 Answer Jason, with the power supply to the range turned off, it would be recommended that the oven control W11567368 is inspected for any burnt sections. Read More...
Daniel April 13, 2021 for Model Number MER88OOFZ1 I replaced the baking element but it's taking quite a bit longer to preheat. Sometimes it doesn't reach set temperature. Any thoughts?
1 Answer Hello Daniel, if the bake element had to be replaced it is likely when it failed it damaged the bake element relay in the main control board WPW10340323. In the bake cycle the control board cycles between the bake element and the broil element (240v) to reach the set temperature. Read More...
Pj June 02, 2020 for Model Number MER8700DS1 When pressing BAKE oven turns on, preheats, tones when at temperature. Afterwards, after pressing CANCEL oven element stays on, still at previous temp setting. Is this the fuse or control panel? Should I test the thermal fuse with a voltmeter? Control panel diagnostics show no errors. Thank you!
Bobbie April 21, 2020 for Model Number AER6303MFS1 My Whirlpool oven (1 1/2 years old) doesn't cook properly when baking. The oven heats up but the food never fully cooks. I'm not a professional, but I used my OHM meter to test both oven elements and they were OK. The temperature probe checked out OK as well. I saw on-line that there is also a safety thermostat on the back of the stove (which I didn't happen to check). Am I correct in thinking that this safety thermostat would totally shut down the oven if bad, or could that possibly be the problem, and cause the oven to not heat properly when baking? Any other suggestions? P.S. The broil function seems to work fine.
1 Answer Bobbie, the broil element does connect to a thermal fuse WP3196548 that would stop the broil element from working, however, the bake element does not. As the bake element and oven sensor have tested good, the only part left that could cause this issue would be the main control W10904904. Read More...
Angie February 17, 2020 for Model Number WFE715H0ES0 Our oven seems to be overheating, for example: we had Au Gratin potatoes in an oven that displayed as 375* that were boiling. Our laser thermometer read the temperature over 550*. I've replaced the bottom element, however the high temperature continues. What is the next logical step? Is there a diagnostic mode on the stove that can be accessed to find the issue?
1 Answer Angie, the temperature probe W10833885 can be tested for resistance and it should measure between 1,000O to 1,200O. However, for the most accurate temperature measurements, a temperature probe would allow for the temperature differential to be accounted for. If the temperature measurement with a probe is reaching excessive temperatures, and the oven temperature sensor is reading properly, then the main control WPW10340308 would be the most likely failure.

James November 25, 2019 The eyes on the stove quit and all oven functions stopped after we tried to get the stove eyes on she moved the eye around it sparked and now it is all off except the digital guage what could it be a fuse.??.
1 Answer Hello James, we would need the model number to advise on specific checks, but in general, if you have a multimeter, check that the stove is getting 120v,120v 240v at the terminal block, also check the wires leading up/away from the terminal block. Some brands may have a fuse but it would be on the rear near the top or behind the control panel rear panel. Read More...
Shelley October 13, 2019 for Model Number RF388LXKQ0 Last week code E0-F3, I replaced oven temperature sensor purchased from here, and worked fine 350-375 degrees. Today when baking at 425 the broiler turned on during bake cycle and will not shut off even with display off. I must keep breaker off to stove. Code E2-F3 today, Would this be a control board issue or thermal fuse? Both times this happened while baking at 425 degrees. Thanks for your help.
1 Answer Shelly, It looks like the broil relay is stuck closed in the control board and would need to be replaced. As long as the broil element has not shorted to ground and heating continuously that way. Unfortunately, it appears the control board is no longer available. Read More...
Jay October 03, 2018 for Model Number KERA205PSS5 Our stove works with no problem. When we turn on the oven it starts to heat for a few minutes, then it trips the circuit. When I reset the circuit breaker I get an 05 code, then it goes away when I set the clock. What could this be? Thanks
1 Answer Jay, This issue would be caused by a internal error which would be caused by a faulty control board on the unit. Read More...
