I reset the clock. Later, when I turned the oven on to bake at 400, the control unit came on, said that it was preheating and that the temp was 100. Shortly thereafter, it threw up an F5. I hit the cancel button then reset the circuit breaker to the stove.
I then reset the clock and turned the oven back on to bake at 400. Control panel said preheating and that the temp was 100. Ten minutes later, info was still the same. Opened up the oven door, both broiler element and oven element were cold. Cancelled operation and turned on broil, panel said broiler was on, but 5 minutes later, still no heat. Cancelled operation and turned on clean, level 2. Door lock moved into place, control panel showed end time of cleaning and that clean was in operation, fan turned on. Five minutes later, no heat in oven.
All timer and fan functions work. Cooktop elements work.
Unplugged oven and tested both legs of 220v line at receptacle, thinking that one leg was bad. Each leg tested out at 110v. I pulled out the oven element and tested for resistance, thinking that no resistance would equal a bad element. However resistance was totally off the scale, so I presume that the element is not a problem. Did not pull the broiler element.
Is the ERC the problem or is something else lurking in the shadowa? Geebe, It sounds like you have a bad relay board, on the back of the oven. Part number: AP4010045
The F5 code you recieved at the start indicates a bad oven temperature sensor , or a bad contact on the heat relay of the relay board. Across the sensor wires, you should read 1050 to 1100 ohms resistance at room temperature, and 1350 ohms at 200 dgrs(boiling water). **You'll need to be careful, you're about to do a live 220 VAC voltage test** Turn the power to the range off, Just like before, remove the bake element and slide it out so you can access the terminal ends(don't disconnect the wires). Program a bake cycle and temperature, give it 10 seconds, Now check for 220 VAC across the element terminals, 120 VAC or less would indicate a broken / damaged wire to the element, or a bad contact on the relay board, and you'll need to move the unit out of the cabinet, remove the back panel and check the wires. Let us know how you did, when you're done. :) :) :)
