I used the self clean feature yesterday. During the self cleaning my oven shutdown and the control panel went blank. Leaving the oven dead and the door locked. I could smell that something electrical had burned out. I removed the outside portion of the door and was able to push the hook over and unlock the door. Once I got to the control panel I could see that one of the components on the back had burned out. I located a new control panel for $180.00 and installed it. The new control panel came with a suppressor board. The instructions showed how to install it on the oven's terminal panel but gave no other information. I figured it was an improvement that came out on later models and installed it. After installing the new control panel and suppressor board everything looked like it was back to normal at first. Then I noticed that the oven wasn't getting hot. I set the oven to bake at 350 degrees and the control panel showed preheat mode and the counter counted down but the heating element never got hot. Is the new control panel defective, should I remove the suppressor board or is there another problem?

Quote:the heating element never got hot The elements operate on 240 volts, all the rest of the appliance on 120 only. Your symptom could just be caused one leg of the power supply not getting to the appliance. Check and/or reset the breakers and/or confirm the full 240 volts is getting to the appliance. There is also a safety thermostat (see the following link) that looks to be in series with both bake and broil elements. If it has failed it might cause just the element to cease to operate. It might trip during a self clean cycle. LINK > Whirlpool RBS305PDQ12 Safety ThermostatQuote:Is the new control panel defective That may be a possibility but only a very slight one IMO.

There is only one circuit breaker to the oven and I reset it but no change. The safety thermostat sounds like a good possibility.
Thanks!

I replaced the safety thermostat and the oven is back up and running.
Thanks!
