Kenmore ceramic top electric stove door problem

There is a bad connection on the door lock to the sensor that detects whether the door is closed. Usually this means the door lock is broken, repairclinic.com will have a replacement if you find that this is the case. Let me know what you find.

Hello there:
on these units they have a self resetting device that you will need to activatethis is done by unplugging the oven for at least one hour then plugging it back in and wait for 5 min then press the normal cancel buton or you might even hear a click sound then you will be allowed to unlock it ok and close the door hope this helps you out please rate this solution it helps get better results for our customers like you

You will probably have to replace the springs I doubt if they can ve fixed. you can open the door all the way and you will see a hole in the spring just inside the door. you can stick a nail in that hole, both springs that will hold the door open and you can lift the door out and check the springs I will tell you to have patience its not easy.

Needs new door hinges.

Supply an email address for you and I will grant you access to my BT Digital Vault where a copy of the complete handbook is lodged. It includes circuit diagrams.

With your fault, can you here the switch operating, if not it just may be stuck?

Hi.
You need to replace both the door hinges, as the hinge springs have become weak.
Please rate my solution.
Thanks.

yes. open the oven door to the first "click". it kind of stops about a quarter of the way open. most ovens you grab both sides of the oven door and pull up. some models have a couple of screws you have to take out before you can remove the oven door. then lay it down with the insie of the door facing up and take out all the screws holding the oven door together. some may be on the sides or the top and bottom of the door. when apart, clean first with easy off, then clean several times with windex till streaks are gone. assemble door in reverse and put back on stove.

The "digital screen" is connected to the electronic control board which controls the oven (the surface elements on the stove top will not be affected by this problem). The "flickering on and off" could be any connection that feeds the electrical supply of the control board. Like something in the wiring harness that feeds the relay board, or the wiring harness that goes from the relay board to the electronic control board. It could also be the relay board or the electronic control board themselves. To isolate the problem you would need to check electrical supply to each board at the time of the "problem" when the "digital screen goes completely off." This would tell you where you "have" the voltage and where the voltage supply is lost. If it is a loose or burned wiring harness replace the harness or individual wire causing the problem if it turns out that it is the relay control board or electronic control board replace them. The relay control boards are typically around $75.00 and the electronic control board $150.00 and up. Might be cheaper to purchase another used oven or bite the bullet and buy a new range.
