My oven won’t turn off. Everything on the digital display says the oven off but warm air still blows within the oven. Any ideas? I have to trip the breaker to turn the offen off.
nc.husherfan, is your model the same as rg99’s? Most likely, if your bake element is still heating, power is being applied and that can mean a failed control board or shorted circuit, but I would need the model number to better assist you. Verify if the element is glowing red, or just warm, and that the control panel shows the oven off, then report back.
Thanks for replying Brian. Mine is a Kenmore 911.9354591. The bottom element is glowing red with the control panel in the off position. The lights indicating that the oven is on are off. Thanks again. Kevin (nc.huskerfan)
Well if the element is glowing and the control board (AP2025191) isn’t on, then the board needs to be replaced. It is a rather odd problem, but not completely unusual as the relays can stick shut with age. With the range plugged in and the back of the control panel removed, you can try tapping hard on the black boxed located on the board and see if the contacts release (the element would go out if they did), but my guess is they would stick shut again in the near future. If you get tired of running to the breaker box, looks like the board is going to be your solution.
Just replaced the control board. Problem didn’t go away. Any other suggestions? Thanks
The wiring on your range is quite simple as both the L1 and L2 circuits run from the terminal block to the control board, then to the element. If the element is actually glowing red when the power is on, both circuits would need to be powered. With the back of the unit removed, you need to look for some place one of the circuits is shorting to ground as that is the only place it could be happening besides the board. Unplug the unit and check the ends of the element or even the element itself to see it it is contacting the chassis at any point. Check all the wires leading to the element from the control and the terminal block. One of them must be shorted. Has anything with the wiring changed recently that may lead us in a better direction? Sorry to steer you in the wrong direction, but there must be a short somewhere and the control is the most likely place that won’t cause the spark show associated with a typical short.
No apology necessary. You can only make suggestions with what limited information I give you. My expertise lies solely with "if I can take it off, I can put another one on." My weakness is the diagnostic portion of the equation… which just happens to be a rather big portion of the equation. I sincerely thank you for your help. I’ll check out the wires this morning.
I have a Maytag jetclean that fills and runs for a few minutes and then stops, after around 5 seconds it starts back up and runs for maybe 20 seconds and then stops for 5, runs for 20 etc,etc,etc, this could go on for half an hour until I turn it off.Starting and stopping maybe 60 times in half an hour.

trying to remove broken plastic panel (trim) portion of control panel for oven. How do I get it off? I can peer behind existing plastic panel on one side and there appears to be a screw that somehow holds the panel from the back on each side. How do I get to these? I have also removed the side metal trip pieces on ea side.
Thank you

Judy,
Here are your instructions(from the service manual) so you can access and repair your control panel.
CAUTION: [FONT=ArialMT]When you work on the double
[LEFT]oven, be careful when handling the sheet metal
parts. Sharp edges may be present, and you[/LEFT]
can cut yourself if you are not careful.
[FONT=ArialMT][LEFT]1. Disconnect the electrical power to the
double oven.
2. Open the lower oven door.
3. Remove the bottom screw from each of
the two side trim pieces.
4. To remove the side trim, pull the bottom
out approximately 2˝, and slide the top[/LEFT]
down to free it from the control panel.
[FONT=ArialMT][LEFT]5. Remove the screws from the oven control[/LEFT]
panel.
[FONT=ArialMT][LEFT]6. To remove the oven control panel, pull it
out at the bottom, and lift and unhook it[/LEFT]
from the oven cabinet support at the top.
[FONT=ArialMT][LEFT]7. Disconnect the wire connectors from the
control board and set the panel face down[/LEFT]
on a padded surface to protect the finish.
[LEFT]9. [FONT=Arial-BoldMT]To remove the oven control/display
boards:[/LEFT]
[/FONT][FONT=ArialMT][LEFT]a) Remove the mounting screws.
b) Lift the ends of the locking arm and
disconnect the ribbon cable from its
connector.
NOTE: The control and display boards are[/LEFT]
designed to be replaced as an assembly.
[LEFT]10. [FONT=Arial-BoldMT]To remove the touch panel assembly:[/LEFT]
[/FONT][FONT=ArialMT][LEFT]a) Push the window and flat ribbon cable
area out of the control panel so you can
grasp the edge of the touch panel on[FONT=ArialMT][/LEFT]
the other side.
[FONT=ArialMT][LEFT]b) Lift and peel the touch panel assembly[/LEFT]
off the front of the control panel.
[/FONT][/FONT][FONT=ArialMT][LEFT]REASSEMBLY NOTE: When you reinstall the
oven control panel, use the following procedure
(refer to the photos on the previous page,
as necessary):
- Reconnect the wiring to the control board
terminals. - Hook the ends of the control panel over
the rubber tips of the brackets. - Push the bottom of the control panel in and
position the plastic air duct under the lip of[/LEFT]
the panel.[/FONT]
[/FONT][/FONT][/FONT][/FONT][/FONT][/FONT][/FONT][FONT=ArialMT][LEFT]4. Align the mounting holes and install the[/LEFT]
two side screws in the control panel.
