Dc June 19, 2012 for Model Number RS675PXGQ5 Problems started with my oven after a lightening storm. Blower motor inside of range will not turn off, regardless of whether stove is in use. Runs continuously. Also, oven will not heat past 170 degrees. Cooktop works, clock and displays still function. Ideas? Thank you.
1 Answer Hello DC. Based on the information you provided, it sounds like the microcomputer 8186024 is bad and will need to be replaced on the unit. Read More...
Sherry K. May 16, 2012 for Model Number RBS275PDS12 The oven lock on cleaning gave me a code E1-F5. What has to be replaced to fix this condition? The control panel and oven control?
1 Answer Hello Sherry, Here's a short list that should cover everything: 1. If door is latched: Disconnect power from unit. Check wires and connectors from control to door switch, then from door switch to control. If no damage to wires and all connectors okay, proceed to step C. Replace door switch. Re-apply power. Press and hold any key down for 1 minute to clear F5 failure code from memory. F2 will appear. Press CANCEL and observe for 1 minute to ensure operation is correct. 2. If door not latched: Disconnect power from unit. Check wires and connectors from control to latch switch, then from latch switch to control. If no damage to wires and all connectors okay, proceed to step C. Repeat steps A and B for door switch. 3. Measure door switch (door open = switch open small low voltage terminals). Replace switch if defective. 4. Measure latch switch (unlatch = switch open, CAUTION - oven light contacts are closed). Replace switch if defective. 5. If corrections are made in any step, reconnect power to control. Press and hold any key for 1 minute to clear R failure code from memory. F2 will appear. Press CANCEL and observe for 1 minute to ensure operation is correct. 6. If failure remains, disconnect power and replace control. Note: Applies to all F5-E... codes.

Mike D. March 28, 2012 for Model Number RBS245PDQ-8 Not until several hours after installing the new microcomputer did we see the Westinghouse instruction sheet (stored inside the oven!) that directs the installer (us) to 'program the cavity size'. This must be done supposedly within 60 seconds (!) of turning on the oven. This involves pushing a bunch of buttons in sequence (STOP TIME, TEMP UP, COOK TIME, BAKE, BROIL, etc. Then setting the display for the 24" model we have. So we did this later after powering off the oven at the breaker box and turning it back on. Question is - is this OK?
1 Answer Hello Mike. Yes, as long as the size was entered, and the unit is working properly, then the microcomputer 8186024 is programed correctly. Hope this helps. Read More...
Tim January 11, 2012 for Model Number rs696pxgq6 have this range changed the keypad and solid state board,i got an error code f2 e1 cancel it out and it returns after 60 sec.can u help me out
1 Answer Tim, you're on track "F2-E1 -Keypad keytail not connected - 1. Check keypad connector for firm connection. 2. Press CANCEL. If error code returns after 60 sec., replace keypad. 3. Replace control." Have you checked and made sure the new keypad ribbon is inserted into the new control connector properly, and that there is no "slag" coverring the metal tips of the ribbon, and the metal tips do contact the metal pins inside the connector tightly. Also check and make sure there are no creases in the new ribbon connector, and all the tracers are a solid"stripe" all the way. Good Luck and Thanks Read More...
Jim C. September 15, 2011 for Model Number RBS245PDQ12 My oven won't heat up. I replaced the bake element but it still wouldn't heat up. The broil element works and the bake element starts to heat if I turn it to 400 or higher. The thermal fuse tests ok and the temp sensor reads approximately 1080 ohms. I also have power coming in. I've unplugged and reconnected the control panel with no change. I assume it's probably the control board, what do you think?
1 Answer Hello Jim. Yes, based on the information you provided, it sounds like the microcomputer 8186024 is bad and will need to be replaced. Hope this helps. Read More...
1 Answer Hello Alberto. 1. Check sensor WP4451665 connection. 2. Measure sensor resistance (1080W at 21° C (70° F). Add 2W per degree.) 3. If resistance is not valid, replace sensor. 4. If sensor resistance and connections are good, then the oven cavity temperature must have exceeded a safe level. Check for welded-closed relays on the control 8186024. Read More...
