Jim September 19, 2013 for Model Number whirlpool glass tot range RF366pxgno I heard a snap and saw a small puff of smoke. I shut of the circuit breaker the service tech just installed a new broiler element. After removing the back panel we saw that one of the elements leads shorted on to the metal of the back of the range. That problem was repaired by replacing the burnt off piece of wire and a new connector. The circuit breaker was turned on and the broiler element came on to a red glow with out turning on the broiler switch. The tech was unsure as to what she should do and said that she had to talk to the service support and would get back to me as soon as a new ? part was ordered. MY question is what did go wrong and can the situation be repaired and the +- cost
1 Answer Hello Jim. Either the element is still touching metal or they shorted out the clock and it will need to be replaced. Read More...
1 Answer Luis, The "PF" code in the display, is an indication of a voltage drop or outage to the range, You should check and insure the wiring connections at the terminal block are proper and tight. If the voltage to the ERC, drops below 102 VAC or you loose power completely, the "PF" error will be displayed. As for the stove not holding temperature. If the ERC and power supply are OK, the most likely issue would be in the oven temperature sensor or wiring WP8053344, Thanks and Good Luck Read More...
Harry January 07, 2012 for Model Number RF366PXG Range oven won't hold temp anywhere in the mid-temp range. Of course these temps are the most used. Turn the knob up to the higher temp. range and it heats well. I'm guessing I need to replace the control module?
1 Answer Hi Harry. Remove your power. Remove the door and storage drawer (if equipped). This makes it lighter /easier to slide the unit out. Remove the back. Check your terminal block for proper 240 vac and 120 vac from each Leg to neutral White wire. Unhook the sensor wires and see if it will ohm out between 1080 - 1000 ohms. Rotate the wires while checking to show for opens or shorts. If bad it is part # WP8053344. It is responsible of keeping the control aware of heat on and off cycling times. Make sure you ohm out the elements for continuity and not shorted giving partial heat. Broil elmt. part # W10856603. Bake elmt. part # WPW10308477. If these are good and the connections are tight, then focus at the relays on the clock control. While calling for heat, test to verify 120 vac from the relay outputs. If bad, then clock part # 4453711. Control - Range (white). Electronic Control Board - Color: Black WP4453710. Thank You. Read More...
Bill August 29, 2011 for Model Number 362.75571691 Thank you for the reply. I have measured the current of the oven igniter when turned on. The current goes to ~ 3.25 amps and as the igniter heats up, the current slowly drops to 2.5 amps. My gas valve lists 3 to 3.3 amps @ 3 to 3.3 volts. Do you think I have a defective igniter? The reason I ask this is because my broiler igniter holds a solid 3.2 amps through the complete cycle.
1 Answer Hi bill. Yes, you need the igniter part # is WB13K21. A little on the low side of amps to open the saftey valve part # is WB19K36.Cold ignitor ohms out from 75-800 ohms. Make sure the ignitor has no visible cracks @ 12:00. Thank you. Read More...
Bill August 28, 2011 for Model Number 362.7557169 My oven won't light. I have replaced the igniter and the gas valve. Is this part the only other option? Which, looks to be the piggy back board?
1 Answer Bill, Yes, the control would be the next option. You could have a damged "new" part or a broken wire, but you'd need a multimeter or clamp on ammeter to verify that. http://forum.appliancepartspros.com/oven-repair-including-ranges-cooktops/4810-how-check-continuity-ohmmeter.html Good Luck and Thanks Read More...
Carl June 08, 2011 for Model Number Jenn Air WG24000B It looks like this clock/timer may fit the opening for my Jenn Air, since the part I need has been discontinued. Do you know if I am correct? Is this just a clock and timer? Thanks, Carl.
1 Answer Hello Carl! The clock/timer called for your model WG24000B has been discontinued. There are no cross references listed available. Unfortunately, we will not be able to advise if the range control WP4453710 will work in its place. You may try the part and return it if it does not fit/correspond with your unit. Here is our return policy information, thanks! http://www.appliancepartspros.com/customerservice/returns.aspx Read More...
