Possible Causes

Incorrect power supply wiring at terminal block, Open L2 leg from breaker, Loose power cord connections, Tripped double-pole breaker

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: This involves live 240V circuits. If you are not experienced with electrical work, contact a qualified electrician. Always turn off the range breaker before opening the terminal block cover.

  • Verify breaker: Ensure the double-pole breaker feeding the oven is fully ON and not partially tripped. Reset if necessary.
  • Inspect terminal block: Remove the rear access cover to the power terminal block. Check that L1, L2, and Neutral (and ground) are connected per the Whirlpool installation instructions. Look for burned or loose wires.
  • Tighten connections: With power OFF, tighten all terminal screws securely. Replace any burned lugs or damaged wires.
  • Measure voltage: With power ON and using a multimeter, verify ~240 VAC between L1 and L2, and ~120 VAC between L1-Neutral and L2-Neutral. If L2 is missing, correct the house wiring or breaker issue.
