My oven no worky! When turning the oven dial to a temp. setting the red light for CLEAN begins to flash. Nothing happens but a flashing red light. However if I set the oven to clean the igniter kicks in the gas flows and oven heats up to the cleaning temperatures. I unpluged the AC power hoping maybe this would cause some sort magical reboot, but to no avail.

Could it be some module I need to replace. Or should I just boot this thing right out of the kitchen.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,Tim

Hi Tim
your model # isn't comming up. double check it should be either the front left or right side if you open the drawer. as to your problem is the oven cleaning latch partly extended?? or you may have a bad switch in the latch assy. post your model # and we will try to go from there

Hi fixxit,
I had the same problem with the model #. So I got back on my belly and took another look at the tag. Its right! So I don't know why it doesn't come up.
Anyway I think you are on to something. The oven will go to clean even with the latch is in the open or off position. That tells me "a safety switch failure."
And when the red light of clean flashes when the knob is turned to oven only confirms a malfunction in a switch circuit.
Thanks,
Tim

You were right on the money fixxit. I found a defective micro switch broken in the closed position. (part description is latch switch)
I also found the model number of this Kenmore to be correct but it only comes up on the Sears site.
Thanks for your help,
Tim

Nice work, Fixxit!

kenmoretrash - Sorry this Kenmore model number didn't come up on our site. We do carry parts for it though and (for the future) you can have our parts department get the info for you very quickly. Also, we're adding more Kenmore models to an already very extensive database.
