On my Whirlpool double oven I sometimes have an F2 code. Other times it beeps and the screen in blank. I searched on the internet and read for an F2 codes that I needed to replace the oven temperature sensor. My husband replaced it and I’m still have problems with the blank control panel or F2 code. If there is an F2 code, I can push start and the clock will come on and the oven will work. Other times, when the screen is blank, I can’t get the oven to work. Any suggestions on what it would be??
Here are your parts
Replacement parts for Whirlpool RBD305PDQ7 ELECTRIC OVEN | AppliancePartsPros.com
See the attachment for the tech sheet. I could not find one for a PDQ7 so the tech sheet is for a PDQ6, the closest I could find. Odds are high that it will apply to your unit.
It shows F2 as a keypad error not a oven sensor error.
I would try the following.
Connector Cleaning / Checking
Unplug the unit
Open it up
Remove the ribbon cable from the keypad to the control board at the control board.
Clean the edge connector.
If it is the type where there is not a connector just the insulation is removed, it can be cleaned with a pencil eraser. Do not use an ink eraser as it is too abrasive. If it has a connector on it use electronics contact cleaner or isopropyl alcohol.
Check the tracks in the ribbon cable for hairline cracks. A magnifying glass helps here.
Would not hurt to clean the connector on the board. Use electronics contact cleaner or isopropyl alcohol and a tooth brush. Be gentle and do not reconnect till all the solvent evaporates.
Reconnect everything and give it a try.
