Whirlpool Oven Wont Increase Temperature, Up Arrow Decreases Temperature, Stuck at 350

“It’s Friday night and Joe is planning on making a pizza for dinner. The DiGorno pizza he just picked up bakes at 400 degrees fahrenheit. When setting the temperature on his oven to preheat, he realizes that he cant increase the temperature. The first few times he presses the button the up arrow does nothing. Out of frustration, he presses the button until the temperature actually decreases. Joe ends up calling Dominos and after Joe orders his pizza, He calls FixYourBoard.com” 

A lot of homeowners think they have a faulty control board when this happens. If your oven bakes fine at 350 degrees, then your control board is A-ok. If the temperature wont increase, it is a keypad problem. The circuitry in the button of the keypad membrane had failed, or “shorted” causing his keypad to not function as it should and to even complete commands it isn’t designed to.

The factory keypad for this series of ovens is no longer manufactured. “No longer manufactured” parts typically equates to “new appliance”. However, Joe, not wanting to spend hundreds or thousands on a new oven, called us at FixYourBoard because we have a solution. Our sister company, Ledgestone Technologies, designed a series of touchpad membranes which replace about 400 different no longer manufactured Whirlpool part numbers.

Joe was able to purchase a replacement keypad for his appliance, save cash, save his appliance.. and keep baking pizzas.

The Ledgestone Technologies part Joe purchased was a KP1402A
