Ok Gene (or anyone else)...looking for a save here

Whirlpool rbd245pdq10 double oven.

Went dead about a week ago and periodically displays E6 F2.

I tried switching it off and on at the breaker as I read a few places.

Was pretty set that I needed to replace the "control panel" so I got the part number and started calling around.

Thru conversations started wondering if I am needing to replace the Keypad or the Control Board (p/n 4452890). Many things I have read seem to point to both/either.

Any guidance you can provide a guy trying to get the oven up and running in time for Easter dinner this weekend?

Here are your parts

Here is the tech sheet

Here is a service manual, yours should be close

Unfortunately I could not find a pin out for the keypad.
Does look like a keypad problem. The big question is which one and without a keypad pin out it is a guess. Though all the error code definitions point to the keypad.

Sometimes you have to remove power from the unit for several hour before it resets. Depends on how fast the power supply on the board will discharge.

RIBBON CABLE CLEANING
Unplug the unit
Open it up
Remove the ribbon cable from the keypad to the control board at the control board. See Page 4-3 in the manual.
Clean the edge connector.
If it is the type where there is not a connector just the insulation is removed, it can be cleaned with a pencil eraser. Do not use an ink eraser as it is too abrasive.
Check the tracks in the ribbon cable for hairline cracks. A magnifying glass helps here.
Would not hurt to clean the connector on the board. Use electronics contact cleaner or isopropyl alcohol and a tooth brush. Be gentle and do not reconnect till all the solvent evaporates. Be gentle.
Reconnect everything and give it a try.
