Hi,
Thanks again Gene. I am pretty sure you are right, and will give that a try before we do anything else.

So, I guess I just need to face the fact that we either need to replace the control board, or buy new! In your expert opinion, do you feel $500 + labour to repair an 11 year old range is not a good investment.. would I be better of buying new.. If I shop around I might find a new convection range with ceran/glass top for approx $700.

Your opinion would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for all your help throughout. It has been very helpful and alway on the money!

Sincerely,

Cathy.

Hello,

I have the same model of Kitchenaid range. It is a Canadian model. I seemed to have fixed the problem by disconnecting the ribbon cable to the control panel and then reconnecting the cable. I don't know how long the fix will last. I was surprised to see the poor quality of the inside of this range. There are a lot of scorch marks around the wiring as if they are overheating.

I got a quote to repair this at $435 for the panel plus $89 service call plus $85 per hour for labour.

I also replaced the gaskets around the oven lights, but I don't know if they seal out the moisture or not.
