I've pretty much determined that this part is faulty because the door locks up, the cooling fans runs, it displays "too hot" if I push bake. BTW, I was broiling, not cleaning, when this happened. Turning off the breaker does not reset it. I can get the door open when the breaker is off, but it just locks right back up when I turn the breaker on. Does this sound like a new control panel is needed? and if so, how do I go about accessing the old one to replace it?

Here's a link to the tech sheet if you don't have it. http://www.servicematters.com/d...0Sheet%20-%204454773.pdf Bruce
