Question about Thermador SC302T Electric Double Oven

Replace Bulb on Oven Display

The display is barely visible. I suppose that the bulb is burned out and needs to be replaced. How do I access the bulb in order to replace?

Clock / time display is getting very dim. Need new display . control module. My actual oven model # SCD302ZP but looks identical to solution you posted to previous inquiry.

Do you have part number source for new module?

We have had a SC302TS for about 10 years. We are now on our 2nd control panel as the display works for about 1-2 years before it starts to dim over another 1 year and then eventually goes out.

This is such a piece of **** panel design and am so disappointed in Thermador buidling such junk. I have read and heard that the problem is inherent in the capacitors used on the control panel. When we replace the last control panel the display worked again, but the cost to keep repairing this unit upsets me because I believe if they would have designed it right the first time then this would never be a problem.

To replace the control panel, open up the top oven and look under the display panel ends. There are two screws there to take out on the ends (don't worry about those in the middle). Be careful when you take off the panel as I was told that the connectors can break as you are inserting and removing from the pins on the circuit board - which would be a pain to remove later.

The last time we ordered the part, we had to order one where the circuit board was part of the entire display plus there were different sizes of circuit boards so to insure we received the right one we had to measure the size of the circuit board. Again, be really careful putting the connectors on the pins as they are very easy to break and then you need another panel.

I dont thinkits as easy as just replaceig a bulb. you have a electronic display on there. what it sounds like its the display thats bad. I dont know if it is a seperate part or attached to the control bord like most others. Most times it is attached. and that meand the control bord will have to be replaced. I dont now how old the oven is but some manufacturers will have a 5 year parts warenty on the electronics. may be worth finding that out first. Replacing it is the only way to resolve your problem.

I looked up your oven and its called a control kit here is the pictures i found of it
Anonymous Aug 06, 2007

it also looks to be 2 other parts to it but I could not get them in the same post. But there are 2 other control bords. In the first one is the display and to me it looks like you may just be able to replace that part of it only with out the other two boards. you may want to call a thermador parts dealer and check. Good Luck

It "popped" a circuit breaker

NORMALLY THERE ARE SCREWS TO REMOVE TO ACCESS A PANEL TO REMOVE THE LIGHT BULB. IF THERE ARE NOT, THEN THE EXTERIOR COVER MAY NEED TO BE REMOVED TO ACCESS THE LIGHT BULB. THIS EXTERIOR COVER HAS SCREWS.
MAKE SURE YOUR CIRCUIT BREAKER IS OFF BEFORE YOU TRY TO REPLACE THE BULB.

Whirlpool Oven will not heat

Hello there:Usually,
when an oven won't bake, it's because the bake element is burned out. The bake element is the black, pencil- thick tube at the bottom of the oven. When the oven heats, the element glows red. This element has an expected life-span of several years. It may last for only one; it may last for many more. When the element burns out, you need to replace it.
If the bake element is burned out, replacing it should solve the problem. Otherwise, you need to further troubleshoot the oven's electrical system to locate the defective wire or component. When the temperature is consistent but too high or too low, it could be one of several different things. First check to see if the thermostat sensing bulb has come loose from its holder. It could be lying on the floor of the oven or resting on the heating element. This would cause the oven to not heat correctly.

If the thermostat bulb is not dislodged, it's likely that the thermostat or sensor is either mis-calibrated or defective.

Electronic ovens with a digital display use a sensor to monitor oven temperature. To solve temperature problems for these models, you may need to replace the sensor. On some digital-display models, you can calibrate the temperature using the key pad. See your operator's manual for details.

Ovens without a digital display often use a mechanical system for controlling temperature. On many of these units, you can remove the thermostat knob and adjust the knob itself to more accurately represent the actual setting of the thermostat.

If, when you remove the knob, there's a screw on the back of it with a small calibration plate, you can loosen the screw, adjust the plate, then tighten the screw again. If the knob isn't adjustable, and the oven temperature is off by more than 30 to 40 degrees, you need to replace the thermostat to solve the problem.

Jjw8527 oven, digital display does not display, also a users anual is needed. please help

This problem is likely a failure of the LCD display on the circuit board. I examined ours and it shows a burned spot inside the display unit. With our oven the display becomes visible after the oven has been on for some time. The board is simple to replace.

Built in oven won't get hot

hello there
Usually, when an oven won't heat up or bake, it's because the bake element is burned out. The bake element is the black, pencil- thick tube at the bottom of the oven. When the oven heats, the element glows red. This element has an expected life-span of several years. It may last for only one; it may last for many more. When the element burns out, you need to replace it. Now if the oven It bakes poorly Here are two instances of when food "bakes poorly:" When the food you're baking is done on top but not on the bottom--or when baking just takes far too long to finish--the bake element may be burned out. You may get fooled into thinking it's working, because the oven is hot inside. But many electric ovens use the broil element, too, during the preheat and bake cycles. So the food may be getting heated only by the broil element, which causes poor baking results. If the bake element is burned out, replacing it should solve the problem. Otherwise, you need to further troubleshoot the oven's electrical system to locate the defective wire or component. When the temperature is consistent but too high or too low, it could be one of several different things. First check to see if the thermostat sensing bulb has come loose from its holder. It could be lying on the floor of the oven or resting on the heating element. This would cause the oven to not heat correctly.

My oven display does not light up anymore. Is this a bulb replacement issue or a bad board. It works fine otherwise.

Probably just a bulb? Worth a try to replace it.

How to replace oven light bulb for beko DC543 electric cooker

hi
You may need to remove the glass cover by turning it anti-clockwise.
On some models access to the bulb is from outside so the oven has to be slid out of it's housing and an access plate removed.

chek this following steps..
Step 1 Make sure the bulb is actually burned out. Confirm the oven is plugged in and that a circuit breaker is not tripped.

Step 2 Look for the manual to determine what size bulb is required. Most use a 40 watt appliance bulb. If you can not find the manual, then buy a bulb to replace it after you take out the old one.

Step 3 Confirm that the oven is not on. Allow it to cool to room temperature if it has recently been used.

Step 4 Open the door and use a flashlight to light the area where the bulb is located. Do not put weight on the door itself, but go in at an angle or sideways.

Step 5 Find the shield or cover over the bulb, gently pull or twist it off. Some glass covers are surrounded by a wire clip or a ring that is screwed in to the back.

Step 6 Gently remove either the wire clip or ring. Since the cover is most likely glass, be cautious. Unscrew the entire glass cover similar to a jar lid in older versions of ovens. Then repeat process if there is more than one bulb.
