Oven help - Kenmore
Oven has gone nuts after a power hit and I fear the Electronic control
module is blown. Where can I get some consulting prior to tossing the whole thing, as new ECM costs $400? GE used to help you diagose ( for a fee) prior to shipping a part but I can't that kind of help with a Kenmore. Issue: When selecting Bake, only the Broil unit comes on. Temperature tracks correctly but never shuts off. The Broil unit relay is in line to the Bake relay and supplies power to the bake relay when closed. So either this relay is shot or whatever actuates it is fouled up. But there are cleaning cycle latch sensors and other stuff in this loop also. New oven is $800..... Seems either way I'm spending $800 unless it's a minor sensor. Suggestions? ( I have the wiring specs) Thanks. I am trying an email to Repairclinic.com....they seem to have reasonable parts and return policy. |

If it is a Kenmore, chances are it was made by Frigidaire or Whirlpool. Only other way is to pay a local service guy the price of a call to come check it out. Sears will charge for the call no matter what. My local dealer would come out, give a price and either fix it at that price or not charge for the service call if I bought a new appliance from him. That is why I don't buy from the big stores. -- Ed http://pages.cthome.net/edhome/ |

I wasn't 100% sure that the ERC was the problem, so I verified that I could return the part if it didn't solve the problem. I think that $400 would be at the top of the scale for a new controller, so I would shop around. Replacing it was pretty simple but it involved a lot of wires, many with the same color, so you have to make sure to label everything very well. |
