KitchenAid KESC308LSS0 electric slide-in range Parts

KitchenAid “Superba” ovens come in multiple sizes, so the cubic feet depends on the exact model. For your KitchenAid electric slide-in range model KESC308LSS0, the correct oven capacity is listed in the specs section of the KESC308LSS0 owner's manual.

Use these quick checks to make sure you’re looking up the right number:

• Confirm the full model number on the rating plate (typically on the oven frame behind the door).
• Use the capacity listed under “Specifications” or “Product features” in the manual.
• If you see multiple capacities online, match by model number, not by the “Superba” name.
• If your range is a double-oven or wall-oven setup, each cavity can have a different capacity.
• Ignore “usable” vs “total” capacity comparisons unless the source clearly defines them.

Most KitchenAid 30-inch ovens and ranges marketed under the Superba name fall into these common ranges:

Oven capacity affects what fits (roasting pans, turkey size, multiple racks) and how air circulates for baking. Using the model-specific spec for KESC308LSS0 also helps ensure you order the right racks, door parts, and interior components.

To reset a KitchenAid KESC308LSS0 electric slide-in range oven, turn the control off and restore power by cycling the breaker (or unplugging if accessible) for about 1 minute, then power it back on. If the keypad is unresponsive, unlock Control Lock first.

• Press CANCEL OFF once to stop any active cooking function.
• If the display shows a lock icon or most keys do nothing, unlock Control Lock (steps below).
• Cycle power at the home breaker for about 60 seconds, then turn it back on.
• Reset the clock if needed and test BAKE or BROIL.
• If the issue started after a power outage, check whether a special mode (like Sabbath Mode) is enabled.

The Control Lock disables most control pads. On KESC308LSS0, we use this sequence:

1. Open the oven door.
2. Press and hold 3 CONTROL LOCK for 5 seconds.
3. Follow the display prompt (press START) to complete unlocking.

When unlocked, the lock indicator clears and normal keypad operation returns. See the KESC308LSS0 owner’s manual for the exact display prompts and pad names.

Sabbath Mode can change how the oven responds (for example, lights and elements do not react immediately when the door opens/closes). To toggle it, the manual lists an activation sequence that starts with opening the door and pressing CANCEL OFF, then entering a specific number-pad code. Use the KESC308LSS0 owner’s manual to follow the exact steps.

A proper reset helps you separate a simple control setting (Control Lock, special modes) from a real failure such as a bad surface element switch, thermostat, or wiring connection.

A KitchenAid oven typically lasts 10 to 15 years with normal household use and basic maintenance. For the KitchenAid KESC308LSS0 electric slide-in range, lifespan is most affected by heating element wear, door seal condition, and how often high-heat self-clean cycles are used; see the KESC308LSS0 owner's manual for care guidance.

• Heating elements and controls: Broil/bake elements and electronic controls cycle on and off constantly.
• Self-clean frequency: High heat accelerates wear on door gaskets, sensors, and wiring.
• Door seal and hinges: Heat loss from a weak seal makes the oven run longer and hotter.
• Power quality: Surges and loose connections can stress the control system.
• Cleaning habits: Spills left to carbonize can damage finishes and create hot spots.

• Wipe up spills after the oven cools; avoid abrasive cleaners on the door glass.
• Use self-clean only when needed; remove racks if your manual recommends it.
• Confirm the door closes evenly; replace worn hinges if the door sags.
• If the oven light stops working, replace the bulb with the correct type (owner-accessible item); consider the oven light bulb 8009 if it matches your setup.
• If you smell hot wiring or see flickering display, shut off power at the breaker and inspect connections.

Knowing the 10 to 15 year range helps us decide whether a repair (like a surface element, thermostat, or door hinge) is cost-effective versus planning for replacement, especially if multiple symptoms show up at once.

On the KitchenAid KESC308LSS0 electric slide-in range, the F2 E0 error code points to a keypad or control input problem (the control is detecting an invalid or stuck key signal), which can prevent normal baking and broiling until the issue is corrected.

• Cancel/Off the oven and wait 60 seconds.
• Reset power: turn the range breaker off for 1 minute, then back on.
• If the code returns, avoid pressing multiple keys at once; a stuck key can retrigger the fault.
• If the control panel is damp or greasy, clean and dry it; residue can mimic a pressed key.
• If the oven was just self-cleaned or the kitchen is humid, let the control area cool and dry fully.

Most F2 E0 events come from one of these conditions:

• A stuck or shorted keypad (touch panel) sending constant input
• A loose or oxidized ribbon connector between the keypad and electronic control
• Moisture or cleaner intrusion into the control panel
• A failing electronic oven control (clock/control board)

Use this quick comparison to decide the most likely direction:

When the control thinks a key is stuck, it can disable oven functions to prevent unsafe operation. Clearing the cause restores reliable temperature control and normal use.

For model-specific control locations, safe power shutoff, and access guidance, follow the steps in the KESC308LSS0 installation guide.

To tell how old your KitchenAid electric slide-in range model KESC308LSS0 is, use the serial number from the model/serial rating plate and match it to KitchenAid’s date-code chart for your serial format. The most reliable “age” is the manufacturing date, not the purchase date.

The model/serial rating plate is on the oven frame behind the door.

• Open the oven door fully
• Look along the front frame (behind the door) for the rating plate
• Write down the full model number and serial number exactly
• Take a clear photo for reference when ordering parts or scheduling service
• Keep the information with your Use and Care paperwork

For the labeled location and other identification details, use the KESC308LSS0 owner's manual.

KitchenAid serial numbers include a date code, but the exact position and meaning varies by serial format and production era. Use this approach:

• Identify whether your serial is all numbers or letters plus numbers
• Count the characters and note any prefix letters
• Look for a date code section (often early in the serial)
• Use a KitchenAid serial date chart to translate that code into a month and year
• If you have the original receipt, compare it to the manufacture date for a complete timeline

Knowing the manufacture date helps us match the correct revision of parts and finishes for your range, especially for items that can change over a model’s production run (for example, an oven light bulb 8009 or control-related components).
