How do I remove the control panel in a whirlpool rbd305pdb10?

Hello Ms Jackson,
An E6-F2 is a very common control board failure. The control board in your appliance will need to be repaired or replaced.

We also back our workmanship with an industry leading two year warranty. http://blog.fixyourboard.com/2015/08/20/gbd-rbd-whirlpool-oven-problems-causes-and-solutions/

I've also attached a link on how to remove your Whirlpool oven control board How to Remove Whirlpool Oven Control Board

"heating and broil elements check ok?"...by using ohmmeter I assume? next step: unplug oven or remove power source; remove back cover of oven and ohm the thermocouple (unplugged) while heating/cooling it. Resistance readings should change quite a bit. If this checks out, your control board inside the panel is fried.A new one will cost $200-$300. If oven is more than 10 years old, I doubt if you'll find one.

From a google search the following is copied:

LOC is a control panel lock not a door lock, see below.

The Control Lock shuts down the control panel pads to prevent
unintended use of the ovens.
When the control is locked, only the CLOCK, TIMER SET and
TIMER OFF pads will function.
The Control Lock is preset unlocked, but can be locked.
To Lock/Unlock Control: Before locking, make sure the ovens,
Timer and Timed Cooking are off. Press and hold START/ENTER
until a single tone sounds and "Loc," a picture of a lock and
"START?" will appear on the oven display, about 5 seconds.
Repeat to unlock and remove "Loc" from display.

If the above does not work have you tried removing power from the uit for a few minutes to see if it will reset.

E1 F2 is most often due to a failed keypad. Depending on your exact model the original part may be no-longer-available. However, there are replacement membrane switches available here:

Control Panel has likely failed (circuit board). You can try removing the power wire from the back of the panel and then replug it back in to see if it resets the board, but Im sorry to say your likely going to have to remove and replace the control panel.

Remove the power from the oven. Open the control panel and unplug the key pad ribbon from the control board. Assemble the control panel back and turn the power on. Wait a few hours.
If the error code came back on, replace the control board.
If the error code did not show up, replace the control panel (the key pad comes as a control panel assembly).

1. You need to pull the oven out a few inches to be able to access two screws on each side of the control panel. On my oven, I needed to open the lower oven and remove a screw from each side to allow a vertical cover piece to be removed. With those pieces removed, there were two screws on each side that went into the wood frame around the oven. I also had a screw on the bottom of the oven, but it didn't not look standard. With those screws removed, the oven pulled out fairly easy. Just need to pull out far enough so that the two screws on the control panel assembly are accessible.
2. Remove those two screws and the panel can slide out once a number of cables have been removed. I took a picture of the connections before removing so I was sure I would put them back correctly (see below). The ribbon cable comes off by raising the plastic piece on top of the connector.

I replaced my panel with a Sears part that had been rebuilt. I couldn't find any new parts anywhere. It's been three weeks and, so far, my oven is working fine.

Hi,

Here is the service manual for this unit. The instructions for removing the control panel start on 4-2.

Service Manual

Remove the power from the oven. Open the control panel and unplug the key pad ribbon from the control board. Assemble the control panel back and turn the power on. Wait a few hours.
If the error code came back on, replace the control board.
If the error code did not show up, replace the control panel (the key pad comes as a control panel assembly).
good luck

Remove the doors by turning toward you a little toggle apparatus located on each hinge. Locate a small screw on the lower inside edge of the left and right hand trim and then slide off the trim. Remove the lower trim then raise the upper trip and put the left end of the panel inside the top opening. This allows you access to the control panel. Test both the keypad part #8300440 and the control panel part #830219 to see which one needs to be replaced. Order the replacement part, plug it in, reverse the precess above and it should work like new..
