Sgbean March 12, 2016 for Model Number AER3311WAW1 My electric stove oven won't come on. What could be problem?
1 Answer Hello Sgbean, If the entire unit is inoperative you should flip the breaker off and back on to make sure one side of the breaker has not tripped. Then check the wall outlet and the terminal block on the appliance where the cord attaches. A loose connection will cause an issue. For a more detailed diagnosis, please list more specific problem details. Thank you for your patience and understanding in this matter. Read More...
Zif March 07, 2016 for Model Number MODEL_PBK0190 All of the top burners work great, but I can't get the oven to light. I am not sure if it is the sensor or the ignitor or something else. there is no rust and everything looks ok.
1 Answer Hello Zif, If the ignitor is orange or red, it is not getting hot enough to ignite the gas. It has to get yellow or white hot to ignite the fuel. If it is not drawing sufficient current to open the gas valve, it will have to be replaced. If it is getting hot enough you will have a burner of gas valve issue. For a more detailed diagnosis, please include the model number from the units' I.D. tag. Read More...

Homer January 31, 2016 for Model Number WFG361LVS1 Whirlpool Accubake Oven. Range and broiler work fine. Bake function does not work. Igniter clicks 4 times, fails. Oven is filled with gas. It then tries to reignite every minute or so to no avail. No error codes. I replaced the bake igniter (and the broil igniter, since I thought that was the baking one),but still does not work. I haven't tested wattage, but since the broiler is OK, I am assuming it's ok(?). If someone can help with this, I would be much obliged.
1 Answer Homer, You will want to check the bake burner and make sure that there is no issue with rust or clogging around the ports. This would be the most common cause to have the unit have a gas odor but not igniting. Also test the oven safety valve for 216 ohms of resistance at the oven safety valve. Read More...
Kevin November 12, 2015 for Model Number Maytag MER7662WS3 I am getting an error code of F1 on my oven. It is intermittent and goes away if I shut off the oven and then turn it back on after cooling down. It has also been cooking very poorly lately and when I checked the temperature at various times during cooking it reads at least 50 degrees cooler than it should be. Could this be a sensor issue or is it more likely the touch pad? I don't want to buy one part when it is an issue with another part. Thanks.
1 Answer Hello Kevin. 1. Press CANCEL>CANCEL>START to enter the Diagnostics Mode and verify the failure code. If failure displayed does match, go to Step 2. 2. Unplug range or disconnect power. 3. Replace control. 4. Replace all parts and panels before operating. 5. Plug in range or reconnect power. Read More...
Cathy November 08, 2015 for Model Number RF261pxst My broiler element burned out, we bought a new broiler element and my husband replaced it, but when the oven was turned on the broiler also came on and wouldn't shut off it got so hot that it melted a tv dinner only being in the oven less that 10 minutes, what would cause this, could it be the temperature probe?
Steve July 13, 2015 for Model Number Whirlpool GR 448LXPQ1 Electric Oven Hi, When I turn my oven to pre-heat it turns on and goes a bit and then says it's preheated but it only heat up to about 100. It seems to me like it would be the oven sensor. Does that sound right? Thanks.
1 Answer Hello Steve, Make sure the elements are good. If so, then you will need to test the sensor and see if it is bad in the unit. If the sensor tested good, you will need to replace the control in 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...
