Built-in single electric oven will not heat. Suspected power surge from recent windstorm, so replaced its control panel (8186024) but still no heat from either element (did get the digital clock back for the $144). Never had any problems with this oven for 14 years since new (bisque color really dates my Whirlpool appliances). Where do I go next for DYI fix? THANKS FOR ANY GUIDANCE!

Here are your parts Parts for Whirlpool RBS305PDZ8 Oven - AppliancePartsPros.comSee the attachment for the tech sheet. First I would check the power. The elements require the full 240 volts and you may be missing half the line. Below is my standard blurb on this though your is probably hard wired os will be a little different. Try flipping the breaker off/on slowly a couple times. Sometimes you can loose half the line without actually tripping the breaker. Check the voltage at the wall receptacle L1 to L2 should be 240 volts L1 to Neutral and L2 to Neutral, both should be 120 volts. If OK Unplug the unit and check the wires at the terminal strip in the machine to make sure none are loose or burned out If OK Check the power at the terminal strip. Do this with the heater off and on. [COLOR="Red"]Be careful as 240 volts is lethal !!![/COLOR] Next I would check the thermal overload (item 37 in section 01). It should be 0 ohms. If OK then check the wires to/from the elements. IF OK then you may still have a bad board. |
