help with range

5 years ago

I have a Whirlpool RF262LXSB0 range which is not working properly. When I set the temp, it does the regular preheat with timer. However, once the timer shuts off and it’s supposed to be preheated and displays the temp only, the degree light is off and the oven is clearly off. I can turn it on again to bake and it will bake properly. But I’m afraid this will get worse and I’d like to fix this.

What parts do I need to check to fix this? I know the bake element works. I haven’t checked the broil element yet.

Why don’t you first call Whirlpool and see if they can suggest a fix. Is your range still under warranty?

Another thought is to try YouTube. I have repaired several appliances on my own in the past couple of years by searching on the name and model number and the problem. In fact, I’m at my daughter’s house right now and the fridge stopped working. Her husband pulled the panels off and was struggling to figure out where to begin. I suggested he try YouTube and sure enough there was a whole video showing how to diagnose and repair the fridge. One hour later and we have a working fridge again.
