Kenmore Oven Repair – Canton, OH (66595823005)

A Kenmore oven in Canton was giving its owner double trouble — the grill wouldn’t light and the oven stuck on even when shut off. Our diagnosis revealed a failed control board that needed replacement, plus burner cleaning to restore proper ignition.

The Problem

The customer reported that their grill won’t light and the oven sticks on even when it’s shut off. This combination of symptoms pointed to control system issues affecting both the ignition and temperature regulation functions.

Diagnosis

Testing revealed the electronic control board had failed, causing the oven to remain energized when turned off and preventing proper grill ignition. The grill burner also needed cleaning to restore proper gas flow and lighting.

The Repair

• Parts replaced: WP8523665 — electronic control board
• Work performed: Cleaned the burner on the grill and installed a new control board in the oven
• Result: Both grill ignition and oven shutoff functions restored to normal operation

Is It Worth Repairing?

Kenmore ovens are generally solid appliances, and control board replacement is often worthwhile on units that are otherwise functioning well. The dual repair here addressed both safety and functionality concerns, making it a smart investment for continued reliable cooking performance.

Maintenance Tips for Kenmore Ovens

• Keep burner ports clean by wiping them down regularly and removing any food debris that could block gas flow
• Avoid using oven cleaners on electronic controls — stick to mild soap and water for cleaning around control panels
• Check that oven doors seal properly to prevent heat loss and reduce strain on the control system
