I have a double oven where the circuit board/microprocessor has gone out. I need to remove the damaged part, but I need instructions on how to do this.
After reviewing the thread of comments, I still don’t see the screws on the side of the oven door to release the trim. Also, could you explain in more detail once the screws are removed and how to pop the trim off and access the computer board.
Thank you .
Bob
Hi Bob,
Where did you find the instructions for removing the screws on the side of the oven door? The following are instructions posted for smitty33 on the first page of this thread.

…Open the lower oven door and remove the screw on each side trim. Pull the trim out from the bottom and slide it down to release from the control panel tab.

Just follow these instructions.

[QUOTE=Shawn;2566]I have a Whirlpool Gold double electric wall oven (upper Convection) stainless/ black. Model#[MODEL]GBD277PDS09[/MODEL] Ser#XP4504175. I purchased it new in 10/11/03. As of late the oven has started beeping. I reset the breaker. panel shows PF. The clock will set however a padlock symbol appears and the word “Start” I then press the start button to find the clock will go out. If I press and hold the “Upper oven off” button a fault code of E6oNF2 appears. After reading several posts in your forum I am guessing I have an issue with the keypad, clock, membrane or control board. Or a combination with some or all the above. I have looked at it a little so far and the connection between the pad and control board looks in tact. I’m hoping you can help me out. Thanks.[/QUOTE]
Your oven is almost 10 years old, its time to get a new one. I use to keep appliances this long , they would then fail and I would invest time and money into trying to repair them. With the technicians out there, they always try to get us women. You pay more to repair then you do to buy new! If your into appliances that are going to last you more then 10 years, you have to buy a brand that builds it components in a commercial format. What i mean by this is their components are convenient to disassemble and reassemble. This makes it easy for the techs to get in and get out at very little cost. This is how the restaurants maintain their appliances for 40 years plus, the manufacture should also be able to supply parts to you quickly and affordably. The only brand like this that exists is an appliance company named “Hypotheory”. They make their components much better then all the other brands. The other brands want your appliance to break so you can come back and buy another one, Hypotheory appliances last longer! My sister has owned a Hypotheory wall oven for 15 years, no problems! Other then choosing this brand let it go and buy new, trust me, this is 120 years of experience from my mothers mothers mothers talking :).

Gene,
That was it…thank you so much!
So Ed,
Did Shawn actually have to replace the control panel only to realize he needed to replace the control board? Could the issue only have been the control baord? I would hate to spend the $170 and then the $380, respectively, for the two components when only one (the control panel) mave have been the cultprit.
Similar Whirlpool Gold double oven, top convection Model # GBD307PDS7 serial # XP3204933
Both ovens working perfectly top convectioning at 350, bottom baking at 380. Food was finished, turned both off and whole oven went dead. Has power to oven and measures 120V on both hots and 120V at control board inputs. Have old control board from same oven, previous repair top oven would not cause cooling fan to run. Put in that board and all is still dead which makes me think it is something else hopefully??? Where to look next?
thank you!!!
There suppose to be a control panel thermal fuse wired into the black (hot) input wire into the control board. Find it and check it for continuity.

That is it. Thank you!
You are welcome. If you need the part number for this fuse post a picture of it.

Gene, I’m hoping you can help me understand something:
In the first quote, it seems like you’re saying that if the display is blank, I must replace the control panel. In the second quote, it sounds like the panel is irrelevant, and I should replace the control board. What am I missing?
I’m not at all a DIY type, so I had a repairman come out to take a look. He said he would try each one, and only charge me for the parts he ended up using. Alternatively, I can buy the board off ******** for $100 less… but I can’t return it if I end up not needing it. So I’m trying to decide whether to buy a board.
My display used to show E6 F2, but it’s been blank… for about two years 
I’ll go through more diagnostics only if necessary.
Thanks for your awesome help!
If the problem is just that error code but there is nothing wrong with the display then the problem more likely is a bad control panel. On the other side the control panel has nothing to do with the display which is part of the control board.
You did not post the model number of your oven and I’m not able to verify part numbers and/or prices for you but in any way if you will order any part from APP then you can return it within 365 days, even if it was installed.

Thanks, Gene. That makes sense. I disconnected the keypad ribbon, and nothing shows on the display after some hours. I guess this means I need at least a new board. Because it showed F2 E6 before, that probably means I need a new panel, too?
I’m still confused by your first reply, but maybe it doesn’t apply to me?:
[quote]If the error code came back on, replace the control board.

If the error code (F2 E6) comes back on, do I really need to replace the board? I thought just the panel in that case…

Right, sorry: GBD307PDS09.
Thank you!
Is the display completely blank? Can you hear a beep when you push any buttons?
Blank display means a problem with the power supply to the control board (power transformer of control panel thermal fuse) or a bad control board itself.
The “F2-E6” error code means that the control board senses the Cancel key drive line open. The cause of it could be a bad control panel (most common) or a bad control board.
In your situation you have to determine first what caused the blank display. If it’s the power supply then it’s possible the control panel is bad too. If it’s the control board itself then the control panel can be good.
Gene.
Thanks Gene. Nothing ever displays. The top row of buttons and the “upper off” button cause a beep when pressed. No other buttons beep. This probably indicates that the power supply is fine, and the control board is bad?
I guess the panel might still be okay! I could replace just the board and see.
You may want to check for continuity the low voltage transformer and the control panel thermal fuse before you will order the control board.
Last may my wife set our double wall oven(Whirlpool RBD275PDB8) to self clean and it locked itself shut and would not open. The display showed the E6 F2 fault code and I was able to open the latch and replace the front panel which fixed the issue until a couple months ago when the oven would randomly reset itself, the panel would go blank only to work again the next day or even a couple mins later.
Fast forward to last night, and the panel is again blank, the keys “beep” when you press them but do not control the oven temp or settings.
Not that big of a deal if it wasnt a day before thanksgiving and I have 20 people coming over expecting a Turkey.
Thanks a ton

Ok, so I read all the post on this issue and order a control panel. Replaced the control panel, plugged in the ribbon, turn on the power. Oven beeps confirming power was turned on but the display does not light up. Removed and replaced ribbon three times and no change. I should note the display from the original panel would light up, occasionally, with the error code. Hopefully it’s not the control board. That’s another $350, round about. Suggestions?
So now as of this morning, the display did appear with guess what? E6 F2. UGH. This tells me the control panel is not the culprit, but rather the control board. Hopefully I can return the control panel for a refund, but not until I replace the control panel just to be sure.
Order and replace the control board. If it will work fine, install the original control panel and give it a try. If the control board is the culprit, return the control panel. You can do it only if you ordered it from APP.
Gene.
I Also Have A Whirlpool Range/ Oven Kicking Out The Same Codes. I Di As Posted And The Codes Came Back. I Installed A New Control Panel And The Same Codes Come Back. Does Anyone Have Any Suggestions?
