Replaced melted down bake element…now the oven heats but does not shut off…no error codes…shorted element when installing new one… probably the control panel? When I set the temperature…it does seem to measure it properly at least until it gets to the set temperature. Any input?
Did I read correctly that you shorted the element when installing the new one? If so, you are probably correct that the control board (AP4100737) now has the bake relay contacts fused together resulting in the element staying on.
Hello, I own a maytag dishwasher legacy series, it’s about 3yrs. old.Just recently I noticed the control panel buttons do not illuminate when pushed on, other than that the unit seems to be working just fine. Do you have any suggestions on what may be the problem here?
Thanks for the help.
Over burner will not come on. Igniter appears OK and I replaced the electronic thermostat. The igniter does not heat up (gas valve not opening, but it should not unless igniter working). What controls the oven igniter…can’t find a wiring diagram and don’t think the top burner igniter control also controls the oven igniter? Thanks.
I’ll NEVER own a GE again.

You could try the diagnostics to see if any of the LED’s come on.
Unfortunately they do not say which tracks into the keypad are for the LED’s so it is difficult to say whether it is the control board or the keypad.
You could try the following
Connector Cleaning / Checking
Unplug the unit
Open it up
Remove the ribbon cable from the keypad to the control board at the control board.
Clean the edge connector.
If it is the type where there is not a connector just the insulation is removed, it can be cleaned with a pencil eraser. Do not use an ink eraser as it is too abrasive.
Check the tracks in the ribbon cable for hairline cracks. A magnifying glass helps here.
Would not hurt to clean the connector on the board. Use electronics contact cleaner or isopropyl alcohol and a tooth brush. Be gentle and do not reconnect till all the solvent evaporates.
Reconnect everything and give it a try.
