Hi I have a Canadian Whirlpool Gold black freestanding electric range with a ceran top (hidden elements) and push button controls.
Information from the plate near the botom drawer is:
Mod: GKP84904
Ser: IMM3486781
Type: 30p
The manual is a generic one with no model number indicated, but has 9754172B written at the bottom of the cover.
Whirpool Canada say they do not sell a manual indicating how to access even the oven element, but offer service calls at $70 for 1st 20mins and $20 per hour after that of course parts costs are extra.
Problem
The broiler turns on okay ( Observed during preheat and selfclean ). The oven element is hidden and goes in from the right side (had to remove right side panel - facing range). I found the oven element was broken and sort of swollen so I replaced it , however with the oven in bake, no voltage appears at the element terminals, even though I hear the clicking sound and the display showing 'heat' on and off. Is there another component I need to check?
I have no idea of how to get to where the wires get to the front control panel. Any help is greatly appreciated.
