WFE505W0JZ1 Whirlpool Range - Instructions

Very easy . Just removed four screws and removed the back cover. Then just unplugged two clips from the element . The repeated all of my steps in reverse . Be sure to unplug the oven before you start on the project .

removed drawer below oven, reached under stove and unplugged from outlet, pulled stove out from between cabinets, removed the 8 screws with 5/16 nutdriver from back panel and removed the panel, removed knob from switch , measured length of stem on old switch and compared it to the new switch ( my old switch stems was shorter than the new one so using a pair of pliers I shortened stem per instructions that came with new switch, this was very easy to do ), removed the two screws holding switch to stove and removed the old switch, then I transfered one wire at a time from the old switch to the new one until I had all the wires connected to the new one, used same two screws holding old switch to the stove to mount the new switch to the stove and put knob from old switch onto the new one, installed back panel to stove using the same 8 screws, pushed stove back into place between the cabinets and plugged the stove into the outlet, put drawer back in place below oven door, reset clock and tried out the new switch, so far so good only time well tell if I fixed my problem because it only happens once in awhile

Turned off power.Removed 2 screws, flipped top over, removed old element, replaced new element,turned over top,fasten down with 2 screws.Turned on power. Turned on burner,made coffee-took a brake.

Remove back panel 10 screws. Disconnect plug in fixture from switch. Front of range remove knob (it just pulls out) remove 2 screws, remove switch. To install reverse procedure.

Remove top by opening oven and taking out two screws in the front. Lift up top and unplug wire connectors on bad element, writing down where they are landed. Take out screw on element bracket and replace. That easy. Be sure to unplug appliance for your safety. :-) Also just wanted to add that PartSelect was great. Ordered it on saturday and was cooking with it on tuesday. Great job.

repair was very easy 20 mins and it was done

Slide range out,unplug range,remove rear cover to unplug element wires, open door remove screws inside oven remove element

Purchased 2 piece broiler pan from this site

Shut down breaker; remove stove back cover plate (8 screws); remove the control knob; remove knob screws (2); simply remove one wire at a time and replace the coresponding wire to the new control unit; remove the snap ring on the knob bar and snap off to fit the proper length; place the control unit in position and reinstall the 2 screws; reinstall the back panel; position stove and turn throw the stove breaker on; test the burner control.

So, the F9 error indicates a electrical power issue. First I pulled the oven out and verified I had 240 volts at my outlet.

Then I removed the fire panel over the terminal block and the issue was apparent. The nuts on the terminal block were corroded. This had cause the resistance in the connection to raise and burn up the wire to my oven plug at the terminal block.

I removed the whole back panel and everything else seemed OK visually.

1. I go new connectors for the oven plug, stripped the wires, and crimped on the new connectors.

2. The terminal block DOES NOT come with the nuts to connect the wire to the terminal block. Mine were so corroded they had to be replaced. So I went and purchased the correct ones and installed the terminal block and reconnected all the wires.

3. I applied some dielectric grease to the connections through out the process of reinstalling to prevent it from happening in the future.

Repair is fairly easy. Turn off power source or unplug the range. Pull the range out to access the rear sheet metal panels; there's two of them, large upper and smaller lower one (that covers the A/C power connections). Remove the two screws in the bottom panel first and put it aside. Before removing the screws on the upper panel, take note of how the top vertical edge of the panel "tabs" are inserted underneath the stationary top of the range. Remove either five or six screws on each side of the panel and put it aside. Now the rear of the control board is accessible. All of its connectors are color-coded, although its best to shoot a pic of it before removing them. After removing all of the connectors, there's one mounting screw on each side of the board; remove them and pull out the board. Now, install the new control board, making sure all of the connectors are properly secured. Restore power to the range; make sure the problem is resolved (before reinstalling the rear panels) by entering the BAKE mode. Pre(heat) cycle begins to default 350-deg temp; should take 8-9 mins from a cold oven to reach 350-deg. If it passes the test, shut off power and reinstall rear panels beginning with the UPPER one, paying attention to the "tabs." Then install the lower panel, reapply power, slide the range back into its home base making sure the anti-tip bracket is properly engaged. That's it.

Had a technician from Home Advisor to check the problem out with my Whirlpool Double oven(1 1/2 old). Paid $60 to find the problem. According to the technician problem was control board and cost of labor and parts $465.00
Jumped on Part Select website, placed a question with my stove problem through the chat. Immediately they answered my question and told me the problem was the Terminal Block. Cost of part and shipping $25.00. Replaced it myself and everything works fine.
Thank you, Thank you Part Select for your help and honesty.

Sincerely
Peter from Maryland

Took off top and pulled out old element and plugged in the new one

Repair of oven sensor easy to install; however, product did not resolve the problem. Returned new sensor and awaiting refund (2 weeks passed so far).

Ordered a new switch and replaced the old one with it.
