Get a new oven,come on from 1976?you can't get parts for it anymore and why would you want to.

Testimonial: "The reason we're trying to fix the old oven, is that it's a build in and inorder to get a new one we have to tear out the wall and cabinets. Neither Frigidaire nor any oven maker makes one that fits into the space. We'd need to spend many thousands to replace this one..Hence, I'm trying to find a way to fix it..."

    like i said you most likely can't get parts for that oven and sooner or later you will have to bite the bullet and do it anyway and that day has come,that model number you sent doesn't even show up what problem are you having and is it gas or electric?

  • Sal De Nov 19, 2017

    if it's the clock assy. you won't be able to get that but there are companies that rebuild boards you can google it ,call them and ask them if they can rebuild your board,you have to make a diagram of it,remove the clock assy. send it to them and they ship it back to you in like two weeks then you reinstall it,i do this with thermodor ovens

  • Sal De Nov 19, 2017

    i googled it for you this came up you can try them or google it yourself but if that oven has any rust on it or something like that you could burn your house down or the casing on the wires get brittle and can short out,i don't think this is a good idea but this is the only option you have is to get the board rebuilt.good luck with your oven and i hope it works out for you,i wasn't trying to be a wiseguy but it would change it out no matter what the cost because nothing lasts forever.

    Thanks for help, Sal.

  • Sal De Nov 19, 2017

    no problem i hope this helps you out,i don't know if you're gonna do this youself,this is what i do,say starting from the back left side of the board i use a marker,i put one line on the first wire and two on the second wire and same down the line,then after 5 or 6 wires are marked i tape them together and then do it again,also write down the color and what it says like l1 or l2 bake is yellow or whatever and this is the easiest way i know,you can take a picture too but if you do it like i said usually when you go to put it back together the wires are in the same position for years they almost realign for you.it's not hard to do as long as you mark the wires.again good luck

SOURCE: Electric Oven doen't heat

cdkd, there should be a TC0, on the back of the oven. Thermal cut out. You want to check to see if it is open. You will have to pull the oven out enough that you can remove the back panel cover and check it. The lower and upper oven should have one. It's a very cheap part to replace. If this TCO fails, no heat. Check this first before buying a new board. Catriver..post back.

We had a similar problem. When the repair person arrived he turned of the electicity to the oven then turned it back on. The control panel is a computer and he rebooted it.

SOURCE: Jenn-air JJW9630CAS - double wall oven -door won't close, even after hinges replaced

On my double oven the bottom door was not closing by at least 21/2 inches the upper door would allow the light to stay on . Upon close examination this problem appeared to be the door was too low which did not allow the gasket to seat in the oven cavity, holding the door open. new hinges and receptors did not resolve this condition.This is how I corrected this condition. 1 open the doors one at a time and lock the hinges.2 remove the doors from the receptors (be careful they are heavy) and set aside. 3 remove mounting screws holding oven in cabinet. 4 slide oven forward enough to hold onto receptor sockets on left and right sides lower and upper 5 remove receptor sockets by removing the screws in front of oven(be careful to hold on to the receptor so it doesnt fall behind oven into cabinet)7 with a center punch punch a start point 1/8 inch above the existing screw holes and drill appropriate size hole for screw THE HOLES MUST MATCH UPPER AND LOWER RECEPTOR OR THE SCREWS ON THE LOWER DOOR WILL SCRATCH THE UPPER DOOR .8 attach receptors to oven in new holes 9 slide oven back into cabinet and replace screws removed in step three 10 attach doors into receptors and push locks forward into receptor cavity attach lower door first and check for operation then upper door open slowly and check enough clearance exists for the screws on the lower door miss the upper door . If more clearance is needed elongate the holes drilled earlier(repeat steps 1 through 5) and slide receptor up on upper door. NOTE The receptors are not in a sealed space in the oven cavity and are not exposed to any heat. Periodically check the screws for tightness. After performing this procedure Both doors close all the way and the light is no longer a problem Now 20 minutes cook time MEANS 20 MINUTES COOK TIME.
HOPE THIS RESOLVES YOUR PROBLEM !!!!!

SOURCE: Dacor double oven, lower oven works fine, upper

I had the same problem after auto-cleaning my oven just before Thanksgiving. The cause was overheating...and the tripping of a heat sensor switch.

The switch (reset button) is located about 3 inches behind the door locking mechanism.

Removing the front panel (4 screws) that the door lock sticks through exposes the switch. Just push the little red button & your are back in business!!

SOURCE: Jenn-Air Wall Oven Model #WW30430P F5 Fault Code

I have the exact same problem with an F5 fault code. I also have a new clock assembly. RepairClinic.com said "Jenn Air fault code F5 = Hardware and watchdog circuits disagree / Replace clock assembly (also called the ERC)

Jenn Air Fault code for newer models F5 = Power to element relays disabled in cook mode
1. Intermittent oven temperature sensor or wire harness or,
2. Intermittent contact on power relay board"
This doesn't help since it is too technical. What should I do next?

Model RG-17. The lower oven works, but the upper oven and the clock and the panel do not work..

you have to send the brand name and full model number off of machine so whoever answers you can help you,if the clock assy. isn't working most likely you'll need a new one,it's not just the clock it's the whole brain of the oven,there's a computer board with the clock that runs the oven,if the oven is old you might not be able to get it anymore because the technology is to old.

Lower Bake element wont heat up.

no,but if you google who rebuilds oven clock assy. and i did it and found one for you
https://www.appliancetimers.com/faqs
you call them and give them your model number,they'll tell you if they can rebuild your clock assy.you draw out a schematic of where the wires go,remove the clock assy. and mail it to the company,they fix your clock and mail it back to you and you reinstall it,i've done this with older thermador ovens,the clock goes blank and you can't get them anymore,it's great because it was under 100.00 bucks and you have a rebuilt clock assy. the way i did it was mark down on paper the color wire and where it went and then i would start from the left top corner and i would get a marker and put a line on the first wire,then 2 marks on the second wire and so forth,but when i got to like the sixth wire i would tape them together just like they were still connected in the same order and then start with the marks again and when you go to put the clock back in the wires would almost line right up from being in that position for so long so it isn't that hard to do,you can take pictures to whatever works for you but this way is cheaper than buying a new clock assy. if you can still get it depending on how old the stove is.hope this helps you out and happy holidays.
