How do I clear the error code on my KitchenAid oven?
On your KitchenAid KESA907PSS02 electric slide-in range, you clear most error codes by pressing OFF to stop the current function and clear the display. If the code returns after clearing, a failing component (often the oven sensor or wiring) is usually triggering it again; follow the checks below.
Quick steps to clear the code
- Press OFF once and wait a few seconds.
- If the display is unresponsive, press and hold START for 5 seconds to toggle Control Lock off (when locked, most pads will not work).
- If the oven is in Self-Clean, press OFF to stop; the door can stay locked until the oven cools.
- After a power outage, reset the clock if you see SET CLOCK.
- If a letter-number code reappears after clearing, stop using the oven and troubleshoot the likely cause.
Power reset (when OFF does not clear it)
A power reset clears many “stuck” control conditions.
- Turn the range breaker OFF (or unplug if accessible).
- Wait 1 to 5 minutes.
- Restore power and try BAKE then START.
For control and display behavior, follow the steps in the KESA907PSS02 owner's manual.
What usually causes the code to come back
Many recurring codes are caused by temperature sensing or overheating protection issues.
| Symptom after clearing | Most common area to check | Example part for KESA907PSS02 |
|---|---|---|
| Code returns during preheat or baking | Oven temperature sensor circuit | Oven sensor WP8274149 |
| Oven shuts down or overheats | High-limit protection, airflow | Range high-limit thermostat (model-specific) |
| Fan runs during bake/broil/clean | Cooling fan operation | Normal on some models |
Why it matters
Clearing the code only removes the message; it does not fix the condition that triggered it. If the code returns, addressing the root cause (sensor, wiring connection, overheating, or control issue) prevents poor baking results and repeat shutdowns.

How do I find the model of my KitchenAid oven?
On your KitchenAid electric slide-in range model KESA907PSS02, the model number is printed on the model and serial number label on the appliance. We use that complete model number (and the serial number) to match the correct parts, features, and service information.
Where to look on the range
Check these common label locations first (the exact spot varies by design):
- Along the oven door frame when you open the oven door
- On the front frame behind the storage drawer or warming drawer (if equipped)
- On the side trim just inside the oven opening
- On the back panel of the range
- Under the cooktop edge (less common)
For diagrams and model-specific guidance, use the KESA907PSS02 owner's manual.
What to write down (and why)
When you find the label, record the full details so we can identify the right replacement parts and service information for your KitchenAid range.
| Label item | Example | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Model number | KESA907PSS02 | Ensures exact fit for parts like elements and sensors |
| Serial number | (varies) | Helps match production changes and service info |
| Purchase/installation date | (your date) | Useful for service and maintenance records |
Tips to avoid common mix-ups
- Copy the model number exactly as shown, including all letters and numbers
- Use the complete model number, not just “KESA907”
- If the label is hard to read, take a clear photo and zoom in
- If you are ordering parts for heating issues, confirm the model before selecting items like the oven sensor WP8274149 or bake element 4451175
Why it matters
KitchenAid ranges often have multiple versions that look similar. Using the correct model number helps us match the correct wiring, temperature control components, and cooking elements so the repair is safe and the part fits right.

How much does a KitchenAid oven weigh?
A KitchenAid KESA907PSS02 electric slide-in range typically weighs about 180 to 230 lb. The exact shipping and installed weight varies by configuration and packaging; for the most accurate figure for your unit, check the specifications section in the KESA907PSS02 installation guide.
How to get the exact weight for KESA907PSS02
We recommend using the model-specific documentation because it is the only place you will see the official spec for your exact range.
- Look for a section labeled Specifications, Product dimensions, or Shipping information in the KESA907PSS02 installation guide
- If you are moving the range, use shipping weight (it is usually higher)
- If you are installing the range, use product weight (unboxed)
- Confirm whether any accessories are included (racks, half-rack, broiler pan)
- Measure your doorway and path; the guide lists key dimensions for slide-in installation
Typical weight ranges (what most homeowners should plan for)
These ranges are practical planning numbers for a 30-inch electric slide-in range like this KitchenAid.
| Weight type | What it includes | Typical planning range |
|---|---|---|
| Product weight | Range only (unboxed) | 180 to 230 lb |
| Shipping weight | Range plus packaging | 200 to 260 lb |
Why it matters
Weight affects safe handling, flooring protection, and installation. Planning for the higher end of the range helps prevent injuries and reduces the chance of damaging the power cord, terminal block area, or leveling legs during a move.
