Randy January 20, 2013 for Model Number Rbd305pd814 What tools or materials will I need to replace Part number 97599243?
1 Answer Hello Randy, To change the thermal over load you would need either a phillips head screw driver or a 1/4" hex head. Remove the rear panel from range. Overload is on the back of unit. May need needle nose pliers to take wires off thermal. Read More...
Lida B. January 15, 2013 for Model Number GY398LXPB01 All 120V parts seem to work, clock, fan, light, temperature indicator. This is a range with smooth stovetop and single oven. Controls are on the front above the oven door. No elements work at all inclucing all stovetop elements and top and bottom elements in stove. I thought I'd check the front panel with the circuit board, but it appears that the thermal overload fuse is not there. Is this fuse in the back of the oven? Also, where exactly is the temperature probe in relation to the thermal overload fuse? Thanks
1 Answer Hello Lida, While the thermal fuse is normally located in the back of the unit, it controls voltage for the bake compartment and not the surface elements. I would check a the terminal block first and if there isn't a wire off back there, there should be a molex connector under the cook top that has most likely lost connection. The temperature probe is a separate circuit from the circuit that the thermal overload is in. The temperature probe connects directly to the control where the control reads the information sent and the overload is in the circuit in line with the heating elements for the bake compartment. As an important note to any one troubleshooting a range, the bake compartments are always wired separately from the surface elements and when one fails, it is usually no relation to the others' operation.

Henry K January 02, 2013 for Model Number GBD307PDQ09 I replaced the broiler element (order 3028814) the top oven will not heat . I checked the wiring in the back and everything looks good Could it be the thermal cut-off? How do I check it?
1 Answer Hello Henry. If it is both elements, then the cut-off could be bad and should read closed for continuity. If it is just the broil element, you will need to order and replace the control WPW10438751 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...
C.L. B December 22, 2012 for Model Number GMC305PRB01 Print out reads EO F2. No power in oven. Micro goes on with random buttons are pressed. Oven start button sometimes starts the micro for a minute. Start and stop on micro will sometimes bring up defrost but must us oven start or stop to get code. It is all very random but the micro does heat up. Is this a computer problem. Electrician check the breaker and there is power. We may have had a power surge on Wed. Help!
1 Answer Hello C. L. B. The F2-E0 indicates a shorted keypad. You will want to check keypad connector to the control board. If this checks ok then press cancel button. If error code returns after 60 seconds then you will need to replace keypad. Read More...
Ed December 15, 2012 for Model Number GBS307PDS1 I ran the Whirlpool oven GBS307PDS1 through the self-cleaning cycle and noticed the front panel was extremely hot, so I cancelled it trying to stop any damage. But afterwards it won't heat top or bottom. Checked the elements and they have the right resistance.I've read another post with similar problems and the answer said the control panel was not available. Is it possibly the thermal overload and how would I check it?
1 Answer Ed, You're most likely correct. it's probably the thermal fuse WP9759243. There is no easy way to access or circuit test the fuse, it's mounted on the back of the wall oven, so you'll have to remove the oven from the wall, remove the back cover panel,then check or replace the fuse.

Mary S December 14, 2012 for Model Number RBD245 I have the Whirlpool built-in electric oven and it all works fine except that the display does not work. It is totally blank. What could be the cause for this to happen?
1 Answer Hello Mary. Test for power coming to the control board. If there is power there, and the unit does not display anything, you will need to replace the display on the unit. Read More...
Ken November 18, 2012 for Model Number rbd275pdq6 Where is the thermal fuse located and how hard is it to change out?
1 Answer Hello Ken. The thermal overload WP9759243 is located on the back of the unit behind the back panel of the unit. Read More...
Steve November 17, 2012 for Model Number RBD305PDS14 Whirlpool double oven installed by builder in about 2004.Works fine most of the time. Once in a while the display goes completely out. The breaker is fine. The light still works inside the oven. When you push the buttons on the front they still beep. The display just dies. If you shut it off and wait a while all of a sudden the clock comes back on and it is fine.
1 Answer Steve, First check and make sure the power supply wires at the terminal block on the oven are properly seaterd and tight, a loose connection, could loose contact and the voltage could drop below minimum requirements. The next test would be to check the Control Power Transformer WP9760587 Using a multi meter, the primary winding (red wires) should have a resistance of 75 to 95 ohms,and the secondary winding (blue wires) should have a reading of less than 1 ohm. You also want to check the voltage, the red wires should have 120 VAC to the transformer primary winding and the blue wires should have 12 to 20 VDC out of the secondary windings to the control board (display circuit). The best test is when the display is blank, but power is supplied to the walloven. If the resistance checks and the voltages are correct, then you'll need the control board WPW10438751. The thermal switch, would not be the issue, it is designed to "open" and remain "open" in an overheat situation. The walloven would be inoperative and would not "reset" until the thermal fuse switch is repalced. Read More...
Nanette November 11, 2012 for Model Number KitchenAid KGRA806 My oven lights both in bake/convect mode and broil but after about a minute the flame shuts off and the ignitors glow.
Patricia H. November 08, 2012 for Model Number RBD305PDB8 Oven works fine at times other times stops. PF E6 comes up. It will restart again but randomly shuts down.
1 Answer Hello Patricia, PF is a power failure code and E6 indicates a problem in the power circuit of the clock assembly. This means there is an issue in the control board 8302967. Read More...
