Whirlpool oven does not work after self-clean?
After Thanksgiving, we decided to run the Self-Clean on the oven. The oven go through the proper clean and cool-down sequences, but the door remained locked. Pushed abundantly of buttons. Turned of the breaker and left it past its sell-by date overnight. Today we got the door depart, but now it won't come on.
We are approaching buying a new oven. Stuff isn't made to closing more than a year or two now, anyways. If anyone have any experience with this stuff, I'd resembling to know if it's worth getting fixed. If it is a simple repair, that's okay, but I'd rather not pay envelope some Service guy $75 bucks just to come to my house and put in the picture me that it's effed and I have to budge buy a new one.
We don't enjoy the owner manual, the stove be here when we moved into the house. I've read that the intense heat from the self-clean cycle can break the computer. Could this be the case? Is it worth getting repaired or should I of late toss it?
Thank you
Answers: You can download the owner's manual for your oven at http://www.whirlpool.com/catalog/search_...
The description you give is not complete enough to determine exactly what oven you own, deplorably.
My Jenn-Aire oven's locking lever often stayed locked even after cool-down. When I call the repairman, he sprayed the mechanism near contact cleaner and it works fine. Apparently greasy steam can foul the mechanism.
Try this site to troubleshoot your problem. I own had pretty apt luck using them several times:
