I tried to use a whirlpool oven (without a manual). Now I'm getting a "P5H" code. The lower element won't shut off. How do I shut this thing off??

The START pad begins any oven function. if the START pad is not pressed within 5 seconds after pressing a function pad, the Push to Start ["PSH"] indicator light will flash and the push to start tone will sound as a reminder. you can download a manual for your range at go to "owner center", scroll down to "manuals & literature" and enter your model number

You will have to see if there is power to the element. It is possible that the relay contacts burned when the element burned out. There is a fusable link but this would shut down both the top and bottom elements. If the relay is burned out the control board will need replacing or rebuilding.

WFG114VQO error code P5H need help thank you

Hi.

If the element does not turn off, possible faults are:

Shorted temperature probe.
Test temperature probe reading impedance. If impedance is zero or lower than 0.500 Ohms, the the probe is shorted. A good probe reads about 1KOhms.

Contact at element. A contact in element wiring harness may cause the element to stay on. Do continuity test between ground and element and on wiring harness.

Defective control module.
If problem is none of the above, then it is the oven electronic control(ERC). The ERC can be tested reading voltages.

Testing must be done by a trained technician.

Turn the breaker off for 5 minutes then turn it back on see if this helps if not let me know.

my oven give me a p5h error when I try to turn it on to bake

Hi,
If your electric oven is not heating then you probably have a bad heating element in your oven. This is not that hard to fix yourself...
Check out this tip that I wrote about the Oven not heating problem..

E1 F2 means bad connection between touch pad and control board. if connections are ok it may require parts. may get very expensive.

the START pad begins any oven function. if the START pad is not pressed within 5 seconds after pressing a function pad, the Push to Start ["PSH"] indicator light will flash and the push to start tone will sound as a reminder. you can download a manual for your range at www.whirlpool.com, go to "owner center", scroll down to "manuals & literature" and enter your model number

Google your stove model and error code and see what you find.
