Replacing one of these range parts may fix your problem.
Electronic Control Board Replacement
When the electronic control board of a range becomes inoperative, it can result in various malfunctions, such as power loss or heating issues in the oven or surface element, or the oven failing to deactivate. This is because the board serves as the command center for the range, overseeing crucial operations such as temperature regulation, fan operation, and cooking duration. If the electronic control board malfunctions, it disrupts communication among various components. A defective board may also emit unusual sounds like chattering or clicking, accompanied by a burning smell. Given its potential impact on multiple components, it's advisable to have a Sears Home Services professional conduct diagnostic tests on the board to determine if replacement is warranted.
Control Panel Replacement
If a range control panel is not working, it might not respond at all or display anything, making it impossible to use. You won't be able to set cooking temperatures, use different modes, or activate features like timers or lights. Sometimes, a faulty control panel might show error codes or lights that flicker. It could also make strange noises like clicking or chattering. A malfunctioning control panel can mess up communication with other parts, which affects how the range works.
Power Supply Replacement
If the power supply board is not functioning, the range will be unable to power up. This is due to the power supply in a range connecting the incoming power from the cord to the internal components, and transferring power from the control board to the oven. A defective power supply may disrupt the display on the control panel and fail to safeguard the range from power surges, potentially leading to damage to electronic components like the main control board. If your range isn't powering up, it's advisable to have a Sears Home Services professional inspect it and replace the power supply board if necessary.
