Whirlpool Model [FONT='Calibri','sans-serif']RDB245PDQ14 that had intermittent F6 E2 error. Just changed the control board and display reads F5 E1 If i cycle the power I occasionally get F3 E1. Put old control board in and no error codes. Any thoughts? [/FONT]
[FONT='Calibri','sans-serif']Thanks, not much hair left to pull out :confused: [/FONT]

Did this occur after a self clean cycle or an extensive bake or broil cycle ?

I would suspect a loose connection in the latch and sensor harness that is routed from the control board to the self clean latch assembly switches and the oven temperature sensor(this is one harness that separates and connects to the components).

your codes indicate:
F3-E1 = temperature sensor resistance out of range
F5-E1 = door latch switch position open
F6-E2 = control not recieving door switch return pulse

since your codes have reset after you re installed your old control, this would lead me to believe you have a loose connection in your harness. You may want to trace those wires to the components and insure you have a good, tight connection(s) at the control board and switches at the latch and sensor.

Thank you for your response. I have never used the self clean feature. The oven died in the middle of a bake session but came back on with F6 E2 which allowed us to clear and finish cooking. I changed the control board after that cooking session.

I checked and cleaned the latch and sensor wires last night. Put a meter on the latch motor per tech sheet and checked out ok. The old control board hasn't shown any error codes since putting it back - though suspect it to die again at worst time. Any chance the new board is bad? very strange.

Not much of a chance you had a bad new control(but possible). I would have suspected the wiring from the start, based on the codes and your problem description.
