How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: This involves 240V wiring. If you are not qualified, contact an electrician. Always turn off the breaker before opening the terminal block cover.
- Verify wiring: Remove the rear access cover and compare the power cord or conduit connections to the Whirlpool installation diagram. Ensure neutral and ground are correctly separated or bonded as required.
- Tighten terminals: With power OFF, tighten all terminal screws and inspect for burned or discolored wires.
- Check neutral continuity: Use a multimeter to verify a solid neutral connection from the panel to the oven. Correct any house wiring issues.
