Hi, had a problem start last December 2010. In Dec 2009 I replaced the clock controller because the upper oven stopped working. After I replace the clock/cntrl all was great.
Then last Dec 2010 the clock/cntl went blank and over powered off. This is the strange part. If I left the door open, and left the upper oven light turned on, the clock/cntl would function and the oven would turn on. As soon as you closed the door or turned off the light the clock would go out. The switch on the oven is the one farthest to the right, that if you pushed it while the oven light was on the clock would also go out.
So, I jumpered the switch and unscrewed the bulb and left oven light switch to on position. It has been running this way ever since. I would like to fix it but not sure what the problem is. The switch I jumped is still operational and checks out with a meter, plus I obtained a spare and replaced it and it still fails unless you jump it. So, if the oven is on, and you turn off the oven light switch the clock/cntl goes out and the oven shuts down.
I know I am providing power to the clock in a ass backwards kind of way. Has the clock/cntl failed again? Is there some other component that I need to check?
2nd problem. now just started. Never had a problem with oven temp. My wife was cooking some of her favorite cookies for the holidays and they were just taking too long. Turns out that when she now sets the temp to 350 according to the oven thermometer we put in it registers less than 325. Never had this problem before.
So, I am leaning towards the clock/cntl for both issues. What do you think out there?
thanks
