How to fix your Kirkland electric range when it won't work at all
When your electric range doesn't work at all, it's likely that the range has no electrical power for the display or controls. Possible causes are a tripped house circuit breaker for the range, a problem with the outlet cord (not plugged in or broken) or an internal wiring failure. A blown thermal fuse can prevent the control from powering up on some ranges. Some ranges have a relay control board that supplies power to the display and controls so a failed relay control board could prevent the range from working.
Unplug the range and check he terminal block on the back of the range for loose wires or broken terminals. Replace the terminal block if damaged.
Installing a new electronic oven control board in your Kirkland electric range
- Pull the range out of the cabinet and unplug the power cord. Use a helper if necessary.
- Remove the screws from the control panel back shield and pull it off the range.
- Disconnect all the wires from the oven control board. Remove the mounting screws and pull the oven control board out of the control panel.
- Position the electronic oven control board and reinstall the mounting screws. Carefully connect all the wires to the new oven control board.
- Place the control panel back shield on the back of the control console and secure the back shield with the mounting screws.
- Plug the power cord into the electrical outlet. Carefully slide the range back into the cabinet, ensuring that the rear leveling foot properly engages with the anti-tip bracket so the range doesn’t fall forward when you open the oven door and pull out a loaded oven rack. Use a helper if necessary.
