I have a Westinghouse Oven (model PDVJ792W*04) which is a twin oven. The top oven stopped started to smoke and stopped working. The lower oven however continues to work fine. The element on the back wall of the top oven had a hole in it so that has been replaced, as well as the thermostat (including the switch). Still the top oven does not operate. The heat indicator light does not operate either but I do not know if that is critical for the oven to heat up. If it is needed I have a problem, the part is discontinued. Ideas would be great!

Sounds like a thermal overload has opened up during clean. It may be mounted on the back.

I replaced the relay board for the top oven (the one with the transformer) and it works properly now. My issue was only for the top oven so you probably have to replace both relay boards since both ovens have only the top element working.

318022002 is the part number for the relay board with transformer
318022001 is the part number for the relay board without transformer

Yes the one without the transformer is more expensive for some reason.

The boards are on the top of the oven, I was able to pull out the oven about 75% of the way out of the cabinet and easily get to the boards. Just unplugged the connections and plugged them into the new board.

To get the oven out there are two small screws that go into brackets inside the top oven door. Highly recommend taking the doors off the oven to pull it out, much easier to work with.

NOTE: On my old board I noticed one solder joint that was burned out and I since I already had the new board I just replaced but you might want to check that first and see if just a solder fix gets you working again before you spend $$ on a new board.

Hi, Unplug the oven and remove the element to test it. Check the element and see if there is continuity. If the element is open, replace it. It can be bad even tho it doesn't appear bad.

I hope this helps you.

SOURCE: Oven not working, is it the thermostat or element

This will almost certainly be the element and is fairly simple to replace.

We had the same thing happen and now they came and said it was the clock that needs to be replaced. They said that controls the oven. Even though clock is on and working the function for turning on the oven is not
