It's mounted on the rear of the oven. First, turn off the circuit breaker, then the oven must be removed and the back panel taken off to access the TOD (thermal overload device). Its mounted right flat against the oven rear panel, with one large red wire attached on each end. If the TOD is open, that means the rear of the oven got too hot or the TOD failed (its a safety device). You can connect the two wires together and insulate with electrical tape, restore power and test the heaters to make sure the TOD is actually the problem. They haven't ever solved this problem...the most current answer is to replace the TOD with a new one, but bend the mounting tabs so that when the new part is installed, there is a space between the TOD and the oven sheet metal about the thickness of a dime. Then reassemble and reinstall the oven.

Whirlpool electric oven won't heat just barely

Hello & Welcome to FixYa

This indicates a open/shorted oven temperature sensor and to solve this problem the sensor needs replacement. If you wan to be sure before replacing the sensor then you can test it with a voltmeter for around 1100ohms....if it reads more then this then it needs replacement however, if the reading is around or less then 1100ohms then test the door switch. Please get back to me if you have any other questions.

Whirlpool oven heating element

Are you trying to replace the stove top element, or oven element? For the stove top element, just lift up the side opposite where it plugs in and pull straight out.

The oven element usually have one or two screws holding a plate in near where the elements go into the back of the oven. Remove the screws and pull straight out. Reverse the procedure to install a new element. The top broil element will be secured in with a couple brackets to hold it up, these must be unscrewed, removed, and then pull the broil element out.

Remember to turn off power to the range before replacing any of the elements.

Oven not heating

Gallow, Whirlpool put out a service flash on this model concerning the TCO located in the back. Regarding oven wont heat up, control panel normal. It has to do with the TCO (thermostat fuse) located just under the vent in back and it's tripping. Since you had the elements checked out, Im suspecting this TCO. Usually when these thermostats open, they are non resetable and you don't have any heat at all. The best thing to do is check this TCO with a meter. If it shows open, thats probably the culprit. They recommend moving the new TCO over to the left about 6 inches so it is not directly under the vent. You are going to need help pulling the built in out just far enough to get at the TCO. The part number for it is 4450934. The service flash is 22-647. Catriver...post back.
