The Oven on my Kenmore Self Cleaning Electric Range will not turn off without throwing the Breaker. This just started today, and resulted in a near catastrophe as an unattended casserole was burned to a crisp because the heat was too high (had it set at 250/ appeared to be cooking at 450). The oven is turned off at the control, but comes on when I reset the breaker. Any ideas?
possibly you may have a live short bringing power to element in oven ,or the electronic clock is defective ,part #wb27k5127
I also have had a similar problem with my Kenmore model 665.92012102 electric range. I was lucky in that when mine decided to heat up, nothing was in it. However, it did ruin the finish on my racks that were of course inside. I am currently contemplating replacing the computer which will cost me $300 to replace it myself, or replacing the entire appliance. It’s only 6 1/2 years old though.
I have a similar problem. Twice, when I switched the stove top off, the cook top stayed on. I had to turn off the circuit breaker. My range was bought Jan. 2006. This is definitely a fire hazard. The light indicator goes off as if the range is off, but the cook top continues on red hot. If I did not pay attention to the food burning, it would have burned the pan and caused a fire possibly. There are similar problems for a Frigidaire range on another forum that I read about. I called sears and found out that my Kenmore is made by Frigidaire, but I don’t know whether the models are the same.
I have a range with a cook top that spontaneously turns itself on and off as well. If anyone has started talking to attorney’s it would be interesting to hear.
I have a maytag gas range model MGR5750ADW.It is showing a F-3 code.The oven door will not unlock,and the oven will not ignite:eek:
-
unable to read (red) temperature light. Cannot see the display
-
pre heat on oven takes way too much time to reach needed temperature
I have a Kenmore oven that is about 5 years old. Last year we had to have the heating element replaced, too soon I think. Now when I use my oven the temp. increases on it’s own and then the oven won’t shut off unless I turn the breaker off. The model is 79092313300.:mad:

Most likely the problem is a bad relay on the Electronic Oven Control (aka a clock). It is recommended by the manufacturer to replace the clock together with the overlay because it’s glued to the clock.

I have a Kenmore Elite glass top range and the front right burner, won’t turn off. Could there be a short in the switch. There is no error code in the control board.
Very likely the problem is a shorted infinite switch for this burner. It can be tested for continuity between "L1" & "H1" and "L2" & "H2" terminals while the switch is in Off position.

same problem with my range and the bake doesn’t work on the oven…sears says my model is not one of the ones that is being recalled…
even though it is having the same problem as the ones being recalled…makes sense,ha ha… NO!:mad:
Our Kenmore Model 665-92012102 has failed us three times now. When using the oven it had an error code f3. The heating eliment in the oven would not turn off unless the stove is unplugged or the breaker is turned off. We were lucky to be at home when it happened.
Same thing happened to me. Brand new Kenmore Elite electric top started popping and smoke came out of the control panel. I shut everything down, but it would not shout off. Finally, I had to go into the garage and find the breaker. How can anyone make something like this and not recall the product. They must know after they repair the top they will be liable in the future.

Has there been a recall on this condition? Kenmore range, burner is blazing hot and stays on whatever the temp. If I turn the knob off and on a couple times, sometimes it’ll turn off. What should I replace?
I did not hear about such recalls but you can verify it with Sears.
What is the complete model number of the range?

790.96119408 black
would it just be the switch for the burner? I don’t hear the relay click when I turn it off like other switches.
Infinite switch they call it maybe?
Most likely the problem is a bad infinite switch for this burner. There are three different switches used.
-
The infinite switch for small element (6") 316436000
-
The infinite switch for large element (9") 316436001
-
The infinite switch for dual element 316238201

Done! Swapped large element sw. $12 part and 15 mins saved me a couple hundred from $ear$ Support. Thanks so much!
You are welcome. I’m glad you were able to fix it.
