Dryer Temp control does not respond

I have a Kenmore model 110.96576200 that does not appear to respond to changes in the temp settings. It is always high heat no matter what is selected. I am sure that it is an easy fix but I want to make sure that I troubleshoot it correctly.

Thank you.

Kenmore Dishwasher Model 665.16719000 pushpad buttons lights flashing and won't work.

Press "high temp wash, heated dry, High temp wash, heated dry, high temp wash, heated dry, high temp wash, heated dry, high temp wash"

All the lights will go solid at which point you press cancel to reset the board.

**NOTE** if you don't have a "heated dry" button, use the "air dry" or "energy saver dry" button instead.

Kenmore wall oven model 911.4088816

i believe this oven was designed to reach a set temp and then interm shutdown to keep that set temp..If oven elements turn back on when temp is raised higher than previous temp ..then there is a good chance its working properly.this is a saftey feature to keep elements on stove from overheating..

Kenmore Oven Model 278 4298891 everything appears to work but the oven turns on then a few seconds later goes off???

My daughters just experienced the same problem. I've tested what I could and only found some bad solier joints on the control board for the dial. I re soldiered the connections but still have the same problem. The temp sensor ohms at 1100 roughly and changes with temp changes. The elements pass a continuity check. The bake and broil relays seem to work fine but a few seconds after the relays close the oven just stops heating. Stumped! I guess I will look for a new control board.

How do I test the temperature control module for a kenmore freezer model 253.9284013

You need a multi-meter to do this. The temp.control is just a switch that closes on temperature rise and opens on temperaure fall (or when it reaches the desired temperature). Using a meter set on ohms coneect to the 2 prong ends of the temp. control. Set the temp. control on off. You should not have any ohms because hte temp. control is open (no continunity) now set the temp control to 2 or 3 and it should close (the meter will read ohms or continunity)
if it does then the t'stat works. The only other exception is the temp. control will sometimes (this is rare) not properly sense temp. for example, it fails to sense zero degrees and it will either stay on too long to shut off too soon. I only seen this happen like twice in 20 years. but more or less this is how you do it!!!

The refrigerator ignores temperature setting.

Hello, This problem is going to be the cold control/thermostat, this part can be located in the control console inside the fridge bhind the freezer temp control knob (can also be found sometimes in the freezer depending on type/model) The reason your food in the fridge is freezing is because the thermostat controling the freezer temp is not shutting down and the air being blown into the fridge is too cold. Replace this cold control/thermostat and you should be fixed. If you have any other questions or concerns please feel free to comment again and give me some time to respond. Good luck! Mike
