Whirlpool Oven GBD307PRS00 Won't start or doesn't start

The Thermal Fuse is an OEM part for Whirlpool ovens. It acts as a safety device that cuts off power to the oven if it overheats, preventing potential damage or fire hazards.

Causes of a bad thermal fuse can include prolonged exposure to high temperatures, electrical surges, or faulty oven components that cause overheating. When the fuse blows, it disrupts the electrical circuit, rendering the oven inoperative until the fuse is replaced.

Symptoms of a bad Thermal Fuse include:

• The oven not heating up
• The control panel not lighting up
• The oven not turning on at all
• Sudden shutdowns during operation

This OEM part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models.

The Upper Oven Thermal Fuse is an OEM part compatible with Whirlpool double wall ovens. Located near the upper oven heating element, this safety device protects the upper oven cavity from excessive heat rises. If temperatures get too high, the fuse automatically cuts power to prevent overheating.

Symptoms of a blown upper oven thermal fuse include:

• The upper oven failing to heat or losing total heating function
• Burning smells emanating from the upper oven cavity
• Safety shutdown errors related to over-temperature conditions

Common causes are airflow restriction trapping heat or faulty wiring allowing overheating. Natural aging also deteriorates fuses over extended use cycles.

Compatible brands include KitchenAid, Jenn-Air and some Kenmore wall oven models.

The Oven Temperature Sensor is an OEM part for Whirlpool ovens. This component is responsible for monitoring the oven's internal temperature, sending data to the control board to maintain the desired cooking temperature. It ensures accurate temperature readings, which are essential for baking, roasting, and other cooking functions. 

Causes of a bad Oven Temperature Sensor include prolonged exposure to high temperatures, which can degrade its responsiveness over time. Additionally, physical damage or wear and tear can lead to inaccurate temperature readings.

Symptoms of a bad Oven Temperature Sensor include:

• The oven temperature is inconsistent with the setting.
• Food is not cooking evenly or as expected.
• The oven fails to reach the set temperature, or it overshoots it significantly.
• Error codes related to temperature regulation appear on the oven's display.

This OEM Whirlpool part can also be used on Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore/Sears brand appliances.

The Oven Heating Element is an OEM replacement part for Whirlpool ovens. It is a crucial component responsible for generating the heat necessary for baking, roasting, and broiling in the oven cavity.

Causes of a bad oven heating element can include mechanical failure, electrical malfunctions, or simply reaching the end of its lifespan due to repeated heating and cooling cycles.

Symptoms of a bad oven heating element:

• Oven not heating up properly or failing to reach the set temperature
• Uneven heating or hot spots within the oven cavity
• Visible damage or breaks in the heating element coil
• Unusual smells or burning odors emanating from the oven

This OEM part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore ovens.

This latch sister board controls the oven's motorized door lock used for self-clean and safety interlock functions. Replacing a failed board restores reliable lock/unlock operation so your oven can start cycles and complete cleaning as designed.

• Powers the door-latch motor when commanded by the main control
• Engages or releases the door lock during self-clean cycles
• What's included: One latch sister board.

Install notes:

• Disconnect power at the breaker before servicing
• Use ESD protection and handle the board by the edges
• Access is typically behind the control/upper panel; photograph wiring and transfer connectors one at a time
• After reassembly, verify latch operation before running a full self-clean
