Model Number: RF386PXDB1   Brand: Whirlpool   Age: More than 10 years   

I replaced the control unit on the stove a year ago - clock set button & oven start didn't work. Everything appeared to work fine after I replace it, but I didn't check to see if Oven Clean feature worked. We seldom use the oven & normally don't get it dirty. Now it is dirty and when we turn on self-cleaning we get a "door" error message. I unplugged & pulled back off and get continuity on oven lock switch at the control unit when I lock for cleaning and open when self-cleaning lock is not engaged. Is there anything other than the control unit that can cause this failure. Oven works fine otherwise - both elements! Just can't clean it!

Check the wires from the switch to the control board and the plug at the control board.

If there is nothing wrong then the problem is a bad control board.

Thanks, When I checked the switch I checked it at the control panel including wiring to switch, so guess its control panel. I figured it had to be, I just didn't want to spend a couple hundred for it and have it not fix the problem.
