Hey Gang,

I've got my Whirlpool slide in GY399LXUS oven hauled apart trying to figure out why, after 1 hour, the oven cant get higher than 385. And it takes that long to reach 385.

I have a bake and broiler element ordered as i checked the continuity of both and the broiler was 15 ohms while the bake was barely 20. I'll swap them out and hopefully this does the trick.

I also ordered an oven sensor even though the one i have reads 1078 ohms at room temp which seems about right. I also checked the wire from the sensor back to the control panel and it also read 1078. So probably not the sensor.

BUT - i checked the two pins on the control board where the sensor wire connects and it only reads 325 ohms. i cant find anywhere what this value should be but i'm worried i may have a control board issue.

Does anyone have any advice or general comments on what i have done thus far? Any help would be appreciated.

Cheers....

Shane

Hi.

You need to take the plug off the control board and check the resistance at the plug, not the control board pins.
If the reading is still wrong - check the wire harness and quick disconnect plug behind the oven.
I don't think it's the elements.
Please provide the complete model number - missing last digits.

Ok i replaced the control panel and the oven heats up quickly as it should.

BUT - the convection oven doesnt work. It did before either but i neglected to mention that.

THe motor is not clicking on but the element is getting hot.

Any ideas?

GY399LXUS02 but i think the last two number simply say if the oven stainless, black or white.

Hi.

Check if there is 120VAC across the motor contacts If it is - then it' a bad motor which is no longer available.
Pull it out and take it to the appliance parts store, they may be able to match it.
