Steve September 24, 2014 for Model Number RBS275PDBG After using self cleaning feature, my oven will not turn up on Bake setting, only down. Thermal fuse is also broken. When I try to adjust up, temperature counts down. Is there a control panel still available to fix this oven model, or am I looking at full replacement of my oven.
1 Answer Hello Steve! The manufacturer has discontinued the control board part number 4452240 which has the relay boards. However the fuse is still available and the part number is WP4451042. Thanks! Read More...
Tim August 19, 2014 for Model Number GBD307PDS09 Looks like the top element just blew out. Heating to 375, suddenly sounded like the garbage disposal was on (coming from the oven), fire and bright light coming from inside upper over. After it stopped the oven had turned off, and now wont turn on, control panel is completely dark. Checked the breakers, none had tripped, tried flipping them on and off to make sure, no change. My thinking is that there is a fuse somewhere in the oven, and i found the thermal fuse part, but other folks seem to indicate that the oven still was on even with the fuse blown. Would blowing that thermal fuse or thermal overload cause the unit to go completely dark?
1 Answer Tim, While it is possible that the thermal fuse for the ovens burners part number WP9759243 could be faulty, the most likely cause for the unit not coming on would be the in line thermal fuse that leads to the control board. The part number is WP4451042. Read More...
Steve July 03, 2014 for Model Number RBS245PDB8 My Whirlpool built in oven will not bake or broil. The top and bottom elements do not get hot. The display says on and it counts down to preheat but doesn't. Is there a way to check to see if the elements are ok, If not both elements,.... what would it be?
2 Answers Hello Steve, This will either be a harness issue or the high temperature limiter WP9759243 has opened. Read More...

Saw M. May 16, 2014 for Model Number kemc308kss0 oven wont come up to temperature in self clean mode. might reach to 500 to 600 degrees.
1 Answer Hello Saw, This will have to be one of two issues. A poor electrical connection to the unit or in the heating circuit or a failing temperature sensor WPW10131825. Test the sensor with an ohm meter and look for about 1100 ohms of resistance with the sensor at about 70°F. Be sure to tap on it during the test since a bad sensor can make internal contact temporarily at room temperature. Read More...
1 Answer Hello Dixie. You most likely have a "high voltage" side malfunction. Transformer, diode, magnetron, Capacitor. You will need to be extremely careful if you decide to test the components with a multi meter, Very high residual voltage is present, so make sure you remove power to the microwave and short across the terminals on the capacitor. The magnetron should have a reading of less than 1 ohm resistance across the two terminals, and an "open" circuit between each terminal and chassis ground. The diode/rectifier should have a resistance reading in one direction only, no resistance, or resistance in both directions indicate a faulty diode. The primary winding on the trans former should read approximately 450 Ohms resistance, the secondary winding should read 80 ohms resistance, and the filament transformer should read 100 ohms resistance. If all the readings are proper and in range, replace the magnetron. Read More...
Carlos C December 30, 2013 for Model Number kemc308kss0 With microwave door closed the upper heating element in microwave turn on by itself. We have never used the convection part of the microwave. It is very scary microwave heats up with us even using it.
1 Answer Carlos, Based on the description of the problem it looks as though the issue will be caused by a bad relay on the control board of your walloven. Part number for the control board is 8302985. Read More...
St December 27, 2013 for Model Number MOD:GBS277PDQ11, SER: XS0710595 Whirlpool Gold (self-cleaning oven) Autobake system MOD:GBS277PDQ11 SER: XS0710595 Once we used the self cleaning feature the oven no longer heats at all. This happened once before and the 'part' was replaced. This time I would like to do it myself! I believe this is caused by a problem with the Thermal Fuse/ Thermal Overload (from what I have been reading) Please advise on how to confirm, and what is the part number (for the thermal fuse) for my model? Your help and advise would be greatly appreciated, Sharon
1 Answer Hello ST. You can test the thermal overload WP9759243. It is located on the back of the oven and should read closed for continuity. 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...
Nancy November 30, 2013 for Model Number RBS305PRQ00 I used the self-cleaning feature on my oven, now it doesn't work. It sounds like it's on because I can hear the fan, but it doesn't get hot. I did this a few years ago and the same thing happened. It was still under warranty at the time so it was repaired by a serviceman. It didn't take long to repair. I can't remember what was replaced. I would like to attempt to do this myself. Can you please help me. Thank you!
1 Answer Hello Nancy. Check the thermal overload WP9759243 and make sure it is closed for continuity. If so, replace the control board on the unit. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3.

Aaron A November 21, 2013 for Model Number RBD275PDQ6 My Whirlpool double oven intermittently powers off uncommanded. The display panel goes blank. Power can be restored by pressing anywhere on the control panel. The oven will "beep" and the display returns. No fault codes are displayed. Other than this annoying problem the oven functions properly.
1 Answer Aaron, It sounds like the time of day feature has been turned off to the oven. To turn it back on you will want to push and hold the clock button for 5 seconds. This should turn the time of day on and keep it on. If this does not resolve the issue then you will want to replace the control board of the unit due to internal failure of the transformer on it.
