Electrical Systems

Whirlpool Model GBD307PRS01 in wall dual oven has no display or any functions not even the light works. Electrician has checked and power is coming into the oven so the fuse box to the oven is good. Is this a control board issue or a thermal fuse? I can feel heat from the components on the logic board but no functions. Also can power still come in even if the thermal fuse is bad? Thanks

The best action is to call Whirlpool technical support and speak with a factory technician. Contact info is here: https://www.whirlpool.com/services/contact-us.html they can assist you with your question. It sounds like the control board is bad to me. You can call us at 855-494-5972 and we’ll be happy to help you locate a local appliance repair specialist if desired. Thank you.

Crawl Space Ventilation Installation

crawl space vents open or close

Mark: The answer really depends upon the situation. In cold and warm humid climates the trend is towards closed vents and crawlspaces. However, this takes more than just closing the vents, it takes covering the soil with a vapor retarder, insulating the walls and making the crawlspace part of the thermal environment. This avoids frozen pipes and reduces humidity. If you are not prepared to make the crawlspace a true closed or conditioned craw, best is to leave the vents open all year round, as long as you are not risking frozen pipes. Moisture levels can actually be higher in the crawl during winter than summer. Call us at 855-494-5972 and we’ll be happy to help you get started if you'd like to improve the crawlspace. Thank you.
