A GE range in North Canton, OH was giving its owners intermittent headaches with the bake function. The oven would sometimes refuse to turn on, and when it did work, it would shut off on its own mid-cycle. Our diagnosis revealed a failing main control board that needed replacement.
The Problem
The customer reported that the bake option on oven will not turn on sometimes and will shut off on own. This type of intermittent behavior typically points to control board issues, where the electronic components are failing to maintain consistent operation.
Diagnosis
Testing confirmed the main control board was malfunctioning. The board’s circuits responsible for managing the bake function were failing intermittently, causing the erratic on/off behavior the customer experienced.
The Repair
- Parts replaced: WB27T10815 — main control board
- Work performed: Replaced main control board
- Result: Bake function now operates consistently without shutting off unexpectedly
Is It Worth Repairing?
GE ranges are generally built to last, and control board replacement on a quality model like this PS905SP3SS is typically worthwhile. These units often provide many more years of reliable service after a control board replacement, making this repair a sound investment compared to replacement costs.
Maintenance Tips for GE Ranges
- Keep the control panel clean and dry to prevent moisture from affecting electronic components
- Avoid pressing control buttons with wet or greasy fingers, which can cause premature wear
- Ensure proper ventilation around the unit to prevent overheating of electronic controls
