I have a Whirlpool gold double ovens model #gbd307pds5. The ovens aren’t working and is showing an error code of E1 F2 on the panel. I’ve looked up the meaning of the error message and there is conflicting parts necessary to remedy this problem. Do I need the control panel part #8300440 or the microcomputer #4451991? Or both? Thank you in advance for any help.

With some luck you may need neither
Unplug the unit for 20 minutes or so, to see if it will reset
IF NOT
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.
- Check keypad connector for firm connection (keypad connects to control board).
- Press CANCEL. If error code returns after 60 seconds, replace keypad (also called touch pad or membrane switch). Some models incorporate keypad in to control board as one unit. In this case, replace control board (also called ERC or clock
This is what the manual says, but it is a crap shoot. I replace a ton more boards then I do touch pads. Tom
Thank you so much, I will try this first.
