The other day our oven would not maintain temperature or shut off using the touch pad controls. I had to shut off the breaker. I located the control module (pt # 3195101, replaced by Whirlpool with #6610057) and there was not any apparent damage (overheating, corrosion, etc). I'm wondering if the problem is in the electronic module or some other part. The replacement module is about 1/3 the cost of a new stove.

Thanks.

Hi Curt,

Most likely the problem caused by a stuck relay on the control board which is mostly invisible. The control board has to be replaced in order to fix the problem. You did not mention the color of the control but, even if it's white, you can replace it with the almond which is more than $20 less.

- The part number for the white control board is AP2989599

- The part number for the almond control board is AP2989600

Here are the break down diagrams for the Whirlpool range Model RF386PXEQ0
