Kenmore Range Repair – CANTON, OH (790.97429901)

A Canton homeowner called us about their Kenmore range overheating despite already replacing the temperature sensor. We found visible damage to the main control board and an F10 error code indicating the real culprit behind the persistent overheating issue.

The Problem

The customer reported their oven was overheating and running too hot. They had already replaced the temperature sensor themselves but were still experiencing the same overheating problem with no improvement.

Diagnosis

Our diagnosis revealed an F10 error code and visible damage to the main control board. The customer had correctly identified overheating as the issue and had even replaced the heat probe, but the damaged board was the actual source of the temperature control malfunction.

The Repair

• Parts replaced: 316462807 — board
• Work performed: Replaced main board
• Result: Reached preheat in 12 minutes and 46 seconds

Is It Worth Repairing?

Kenmore ranges are generally solid appliances that respond well to control board replacement when that’s the root issue. Since the customer had already invested effort in troubleshooting and the oven is now functioning properly with accurate temperature control, this was a worthwhile repair that should provide years of reliable service.

Maintenance Tips for Kenmore Ranges

• Keep the oven interior clean to prevent excessive heat buildup that can stress electronic components
• Use the self-clean cycle sparingly as high temperatures can affect control board longevity
• Check that oven vents aren’t blocked by cookware or debris to ensure proper heat circulation
