Control board may be bad on whirlpool rbd305pds15? Display is "dead". The lights in both ovens still works so assume power is okay?

Hello!
This blank display is a common control board problem. If the buttons beep when pressed, then the control board is getting adequate power. If the buttons beep.. and your oven light still turns on when the oven door is open.. this a text book control board failure. We at Fixyourboard.com can solve this problem for you, and back the remanufacture with a two year warranty.

GBD RBD Whirlpool Oven Problems Causes and Solutions

I assume yiu had the electronic oven control repaired. Sometimes the touch pad also goes bad. I have had to replace them at the same time. If the oven indicator lights showing the oven being on shows up on the display it could be that the thermal fuse behind the oven has gone out. this in in the common line and will shut down both ovens at the same time but you will get the control panel to respond to the touch pad.

Hi

This Error indicates a loose/broken wire on the oven temp sensor or the oven temp. sensor itself is bad and should be replaced. To solve this issue test the oven temp. sensor, it should read between 1080-1120 ohms, if the rating is more then that and the door appears to be closing fine then it is the control board that is bad and should be replaced. Hope this helps...please post back for further assistance.

An F2 E6 error means that there is a problem with the keypad. Make sure that the keypad wire is firmly connected to the control board. Then press Cancel. If the error returns in 60 seconds, you need to replace the keypad. With some Whirlpool ovens the keypad and control board are a single unit and you will need to replace the entire assembly.

For this oven, it seems that the control panel assembly is available here: http://www.appliancepartspros.com/partsearch/model.aspx?model_id=5139596&diagram_id=28216054 (On the Control Panel diagram, there are three listed - pick the one that matches your oven color.) The price depends on the color option.

I hope this helps.

Can you supply a model number?
Most likley you have a bad erc control board ( clock). But a model number would help narrow it down.

there should be a 40 amp breaker in your electrical panel turn off and back on again to reset power

Some things to consider:

1. There are two thermal fuses on this unit
- one fuse is in the bake/broil element circuit and if blown, would cause no-heat but the display would still light.
- the other thermal fuse is in series with power to the control board, if blown the control board display would be dark and no oven related functions would work

2. There is a low voltage transformer that supplies power to the control board that sometimes gets damaged by lightning surges. This would also cause the display to be dark with no oven functionality.

3. We repair a number of these control boards that are damaged by lightning storms. Here's a link to a related article that might be helpful:

Most definitely a bad control board and/or soldered components. (The part about cutting power to the oven was a dead giveaway)
There are low and high temperature solders, but usually solder melts at 370° F. If the oven is improperly insulated or ventilated you will have continued heat stress to the control board.

Most likely the control board has gone bad. You can find the control board here. If you have any other questions, please let me know.

Post back.
