note, age is a guess. It is > 6.5 because thats how long I've had my house.

The vacuum fluorescent display on my kenmore range is quite dim. I have to shade it with my hand to read it and I'm finally about sick of it.

Anyone have a schematic for that control board? Are there some parts which are known to go bad on this board? I just read a thread about a thermidor range where there are 3 electrolytic caps on the board which go bad over time. I'm hopeful that the fix will be as simple on this board. That's especially true as it is listed as NLA.

Thanks

Here is a good thread about this
http://forum.appliancepartspros...ml?highlight=dim+display

The only thing to take extra care is that the capacitors are electrolytic so be sure to note where the positive and negative sides go.

Unfortunately this Kenmore unit seems to have different issues than the common Thermador one.

I replaced all 5 of the aluminum electrolytics on this board and the display is still quite dim :(
