THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, I subscribe to Choice Warranty and they would not cover the repair/replacement of the control panel. They sent me a check for $450. So I ordered the part and fixed it myself thanks to you. If I had known it was this easy, I would have done it in 2006 when it first started to fail. Over time, I got the fatal F-7 error, so I had to do something about it.

Thanks again:):)

Saw a youtube video about lightly cleaning corroded ribbon cable ends with a pencil eraser instead of replacing. Thanks for the disassembly instructions.

Put new control panel in and some of the buttons still don’t work

Thanks for posting this. It helped quite a bit.

Additional comments for those doing this in the future:

I’d recommend removing the four Phillips head screws that hold that bottom bracket to the oven. Having that bracket remounted onto the panel (but not onto the oven) before panel placement made things much easier. I might have had to have the panel partially in place and then slid the bracket onto/into the panel, because the door lock was sorta in the way, but I don’t recall, and I sure as heck didn’t feel like taking it back apart to check, lol.

The tip about the little white light boxes (on the red plastic light transmitters) was especially helpful. I’d have broken them. Mine slid off to the right and slide back on to the left, btw. Push the little red pieces out from the back.

The ribbon clip on the circuit board: the moving part slides toward the center of the panel (so, to the right). Put your thumbnails on the ends and your index fingers on the little bumps that point toward the center of the panel and pinch, and the bracket your thumbnail is holding will slide toward the center.

Thanks again!
