Also the model number you posted is not complete. It suppose to be something else after "D". Gene.

In order to fix it the control panel has to be replaced. - The part number for the white control panel AP2929132 - The part number for the black control panel AP2929131 - Here are the break down diagrams for the Whirlpool oven Model RBS305PDB6 Gene.

If it's still good and you like it, it might be worth to fix it. Good luck with the new one. Gene.

I would describe them as a poor design. That whole thermal fuse thing is a really bad joke. It sounds like yours has been a pain in your rear for a long time. It also sounds like your electronic control is failing. I'd bet $100 its not available 17 years after manufacture.
