Setup and Installation
Before You Begin
Ensure you have the necessary tools, which typically include screwdrivers (Phillips and flathead), pliers, and potentially a nut driver. Confirm the new control board matches the part number you are replacing.
Installation Steps
- Disconnect Power: Locate the circuit breaker for your electric range and turn it off, or unplug the range from the wall outlet. Verify that power is off before proceeding.
- Access the Control Panel: Depending on your range model, you may need to remove screws from the back panel or the top control panel to gain access to the existing control board. Refer to your appliance's specific service manual if available.
- Document Wiring: Before disconnecting any wires, take clear photos of the existing wiring connections to the old control board. This will serve as a reference for reconnecting the new board.
- Disconnect Wires: Carefully disconnect all wire harnesses and individual wires from the old control board. Note any specific connectors or clips.
- Remove Old Control Board: Unscrew or unclip the old control board from its mounting brackets.
- Install New Control Board: Position the new 316207511 control board in the same location as the old one and secure it using the original screws or clips.
- Reconnect Wiring: Using your documented photos as a guide, carefully reconnect all wire harnesses and individual wires to the corresponding terminals on the new control board. Ensure all connections are secure.
- Reassemble Appliance: Carefully reattach any panels or covers that were removed, ensuring all screws are tightened.
- Restore Power and Test: Reconnect power to the range by turning on the circuit breaker or plugging it back in. Test the oven's functions, including temperature control and the timer display, to ensure proper operation.

Maintenance
The 316207511 control board is designed for durability and requires minimal maintenance. To ensure its longevity:
- Keep Dry: Avoid exposing the control panel area to excessive moisture or spills.
- Gentle Cleaning: When cleaning the exterior of your range, use a soft, damp cloth and mild detergent. Avoid abrasive cleaners or excessive water near the control panel.
- Regular Inspection: Periodically check the connections to the control board during other appliance maintenance to ensure they remain secure.
Troubleshooting
If you experience issues with your oven after installing the 316207511 control board, consider the following common troubleshooting steps:
- No Power/Display Off:
- Ensure the range is properly plugged into a working outlet.
- Check the circuit breaker for the range to ensure it has not tripped.
- Verify all wire connections to the control board are secure and correctly seated.
- Incorrect Temperature Readings:
- Confirm the oven temperature sensor (if separate) is clean and properly connected.
- Ensure the control board is correctly calibrated (refer to your range's specific service manual if calibration is required).
- Timer Malfunction:
- Check for any error codes displayed on the board and consult your range's manual for their meaning.
- Try cycling power to the range (unplug for 5 minutes, then plug back in) to reset the board.
If problems persist after performing these steps, it is recommended to contact a certified appliance technician for further diagnosis and repair.
