Default Whirlpool GR395LXG over heats
Brand: Whirlpool
Model Number: GR395LXG
Age: 5 - 10 years

Trying to help a 76 yr. old widow. She called Sears and the tech said it would cost $400-500 to fix, best if she got a new one!.
Symptoms:
Turn on, both elements come on during preheat to 350. The lower element goes off, upper stays on. Beeps three times and E2-F3 is displayed along with cool-clean. Can't turn off, must pull CB.
From what I've read here and other forums it's a toss up between heat sensor ($67.00) and the ERC which I haven't found yet for this model. I have electronic background but before I go ording parts on a whim, do you have any better idea?

You can check the sensor with an ohm meter.

The resistance should be 1100 ohm at room temperature.

The resistance goes up as the temperature goes up.

Here is a link to your range model GR395LXG.

For a more detailed parts list you will need the last two digit of your model number.
