Whirlpool AKZ161 light flashing and reverting back to 160

[grazzamongrel]

hi i have come across a whirlpool AKZ161 and when selecting any temperature in the main oven after a few minutes it goes back to 160 degrees and often back to the clock. You can hear relays clicking away behind the display, i suspect the main power pcb but would like some input on what others think.

thanks in advance graham 😀

hi, you need a new control module. the power board is ok. the control module is the board at the front with the dials on

are you sure? this part surely just alters the temperature and sets the clock and nothing more. have looked on connects site part number 5031689338264, is this the bit you mean? i have already ordered power mod part number 5031680242584. so the second part is not required then?

when u say relays chattering, have u run the oven with cover off? anyway, every time i get this fault nowadays the oven is BER due to both boards being too dear

The bit u described is £63 plus vat this dont sound too expensive to me, but it is a special order part and therefore unreturnable if doesnt turn out to be correct part to fix fault. sorry to question what you are saying but i find it hard to beleive how that part which looks no more than a selector switch x 2 with a ribbon cable inbetween which i assume is for display module. What in the part causes the temperature to reset back to 160 and cycle back to clock and oven light flash on/off and no error code to pop up? if you have a connect acc could you enter the numbers from my last post to confirm if this indeed the part you mean. ta
