[quote=Flexdmc;224850]…A few days back my display went out…
I don’t know if it’s the control board or control panel.
PN AP3595759 is the control board
PN AP3131916 is the control panel…Also the control board has what appears to be a heated up resistor as evident by a blackish halo around D73 & R188 towards the top…
…I also, like another poster, don’t have a separate breaker for this damn oven and it’s a newer house built 5 years ago…Not trying to kill myself with 220 volts![/quote]
More likely the problem is a bad control board because a bad control panel can not cause the blank display and an overheated resistor is pretty solid evidence.
You are absolutely right - the safety is first! The issue with the circuit breakers is very serious and must be solved. Before you call the builder make sure there is no a sub panel with a few additional breakers.
Gene,
Spot on! Control board was the culprit. I also found that the breaker was outside. The sub panel in the house is also on the breaker so I panicked for no real reason. Never even checked outside. Thanks for the tip.
Now the one part I couldn’t really figure out was to set the oven size. The instructions inside the oven paperwork wanted me to press around 10 buttons at the same time… I felt like an octopus and it said I had to do it within 60 seconds of powering up.
Needless to say I didn’t get it done in time however I pressed lower oven off and upper oven for a few seconds and it was already set to 30 so I was ok. Don’t know what I would have done if it wasn’t set properly…
First off I would like to thank you so much for all the great and valuable help you give us. I am hoping dearly that you can assist with my issue as I am not sure how to proceed. I have a Whirlpool double oven model RBD245:
Started beeping and displayed a E6 F2 error code. I dis-assembled the unit to make sure the connections were clean and free of any corrosion. After further research I concluded that the control board needed to be replaced.
Purchased new control board part AP3595759 (8302319). I made note of all connections and carefully reconnected everything in place.
After applying power back to the unit the clock came back on. While adjusting the time I got another error code “F5”.
Research mentioned that this error code has something to do with the locking mechanism associated with self clean mode, in other words, the motor that locks the door.
After re-checking every connection I decided to buy the door latch motor unit, part no: W10195934.
After installing the part I am still getting that error! F5! Not sure what else to do from here Gene. I have tried re-setting the unit by holding the off key but does not solve the issue. Is there something else that could be causing this? I do appreciate your time and dedication. Thank you.
I was affraid that I might be a deffective control board but how can I bbe sure? The problem surfaced when I head a beeping sound coming form the oven that I had never heard before. I came to see what it was and on the display was E6 F2. I did some research on the web and mostly here on this site and everything pointed to the control board. After a couple days the error code on the display began to dim and the beeping was gone.
After installing the new control board the first display was the clock showing 12:00 brightly lit and soon afterwards the F5 error code. The code goes away after I press any button but will come back on after a couple of seconds. I have turned off the breaker to the oven to see if it clears out the errror code that way but I’m not too confident that will do any help. Man this is frustrating, like the saying goes, you don’t know what you got til you lose it. And boy are we missing our oven. Again, I appreciate you time and effort to offer any help. Thanks.
If you purchased the control board from Appliance Parts Pros, you do not have to prove anything. Just talk to their team and they will instruct you what and how to do.
Most common cause of this error code (F2-E6) is a bad control panel (key pad) and this is what is recommended by Whirlpool in the Tech sheet. That’s why I’ve been interesting what had pointed you to the control board replacement.
In such situation I would order the new control panel together with the exchanged control board and install the new control panel and the original control board. If you dealing with Appliance Parts Pros, you can return any part with no questions asked due to their very friendly return policy.
you are the man! I followed your posts and was able to repair my whirlpool double oven. I also had a double whammy with my dryer. You guys are the best! I am a devotee and order my parts through your site. when I fixed my dryer I made a video on youtube called “Fixin my kenmore dryer” under the name of “thebigdog611”. My 9 year old son posted a comment and said I had too much time on my hands.
Gene,
I have a Whirlpool black double oven, model number RBD306PBD12. Same error code issue; unplugged the control ribbon, turned the power back on and it is now showing E1 F2 error code. Do I need the panel or the board?
Now this morning after several hours of being plugged back in the screen is blank; all there is is an occasional short beep, longer beep, beep beep beep.
The error code “F2-E1” means that the control senses the key pad ribbon cable disconnected.
Inspect the ribbon cable for a hairline cracks with a magnifying glass. If there is nothing wrong, plug it back into the control board connector, power up the oven and watch the display. Try to set the time of the day. Post the result.
Most likely the problem is a bad control board, but there is a small chance for the low voltage transformer (#7 on the diagram) and the control panel to be bad as well. I would replace the control board first, hoping it will solve the problem.

Got the part yesterday, hooked it up and all seems to be working fine. Thank you very much for your help and expertise! Anything I should watch for that might indicate another problem?
It’s me again. It’s been while since my last post but I took your advice and returned the control board and ordered another one (part AP3595759 (8302319). I got the new part and installed it over the weekend and I’m still getting the same E1 F5 error code. I’m running out of options here and I don’t really want to buy new unit or pay an arm and a leg for someone else to fix it. Any thoughts on what I should try next? As always, your advice is greatly appreciated it. Thanks.
Not sure what else to do from here Gene. I have tried re-setting the unit by holding the off key but does not solve the issue. Is there something else that could be causing this? I do appreciate your time and dedication. Thank you.
