QuestionI've had a Whirlpool range before, and had to rewire it myself as it was well out of warranty (not hard, just tedious). Are the burners on this one wired in series (all fail if one does) or in parallel (only the burner that failed will not work)?

QuestionMy oven light will not turn off
Asked 5 years ago by Anonymous.
- Answer That happened to me the first couple of times I used the oven. This worked for me: try opening and reclosing the oven door - give it an extra push (but don't slam) to make sure it is firmly shut so that it makes contact to turn off the light.
