Control Panel / Control Board Access

My oven display shows E6 and F2 error codes and all the beeping, lacking of functioning, etc that goes along with that. I’ve read on other forums here that I should check the Control Panel and then the Control Board…but can’t figure out how to dis-assemble / access the Control Board and Panel. Can you wAlk me through that? Thanks - Bud

Perhaps this diagram will help.

It looks like you have to remove two screws from the bottom sides of the two faceplates which will give you access to the touchpad membrane. After that…?

I have similar oven and just removed the control board last night. On mine once I got the screws out, the internal wires were very short & tight. I could only get the thing an inch or so out. One by one I was able to unplug the wire connections inside, after each one disconnected I could get the board a little more pulled out. Eventually was able to reach my whole arm in and get the rest of them unplugged. It is not easy, you need small hands and arms if it is anything like mine! The other alternative is to pull it out of the wall and open up the housing to get better access.

It appears each connection is unique, like you can’t plug things back in incorrectly. You might want to keep track though, i drew a little diagram and wrote the wire colors and locations of the plugs, in case I got mixed up when trying to put it back in.
