Whirlpool Stove/oven controls don't work
If your Whirlpool stove or oven controls are not working, start with the control knobs before replacing an internal component. A cracked or stripped timer knob is the most likely cause when the timer will not respond because the knob slips instead of turning the timer stem. Next, check the thermostat knob if you cannot adjust oven temperature, followed by the selector knob used to choose bake, broil, or other functions. A damaged control knob can also fail to engage a switch or valve stem, making the stove controls not work even though the appliance has power. If multiple controls stopped responding after a power surge or outage, turn the Whirlpool range off at the breaker or unplug it for several minutes, then restore power. This power reset can clear a temporary control problem. These checks apply when the knobs are loose, cracked, or turning without changing a setting. If the knobs work but the oven buttons are not working or the control panel is not responding, the problem may involve the control assembly or wiring and requires further testing. Enter your model number to find the exact replacement knob or part for your Whirlpool range, stove, or oven.
