When I turn on the oven it used to start in Bake at 375. Now it starts in broil at 500 and the bake option won't work.\

Any ideas? This is a Whirlpool electronic controlled oven.

I also have a Whirlpool Oven Model RBS305PD that will broil and not bake. I have replaced the microcomputer and this did not fix the problem.

I also would appreciate help.

Hi Ruth Ann

I need you to provide more specific description on what is going on with your oven when you try to use Bake mode. Also the model number you posted is not complete. It suppose to be something else after "D".

Gene,

The model is RBS305PDand either 86 or B6. When I turn the oven on it automatically goes to the broil mode. When I press the bake button it just stays in broil. It will not bake at all, but it will broil just fine.

Most likely the problem with your oven is a stuck broil pad on the key pad. In order to fix it the control panel has to be replaced.

- The part number for the black control panel AP2929131

Gene,

Thank you for your advise. I decided to go ahead and purchase a new oven. Given that the part is half the price of the new oven I feel I made a good choice.

Usually such decision should be based on the age and condition of the product. If it's still good and you like it, it might be worth to fix it.

Good luck with the new one.
Gene.
