Whirlpool Oven Relay Control (WP9762215)

The Whirlpool Oven Relay Control (ROC60) is the relay module that switches line voltage to the bake and broil elements on command from the electronic oven control. It mounts behind the control panel or on the back of the oven and connects to the wiring harness through quick-connect terminals and a multi-pin plug, so the main control board only has to send a low-current signal while the relays carry the element load.

The Whirlpool Oven Relay Control can fail when a relay contact welds shut, burns open, or the module's internal fuse or trace overheats after years of switching heavy element current. A failed relay leaves the oven unable to heat, heating only on one element, or heating with no way to shut an element off, even though the display and keypad still work normally.

These symptoms can help you decide if a replacement relay control matches your situation:

• Oven does not heat at all while the display and clock work normally
• Bake works but broil does not, or the reverse
• An element stays on after the oven is turned off or the cycle ends
• Oven temperature is erratic or overshoots the set point
• Control displays a fault code that points to the relay or heating circuit
• Burn marks, a scorched smell, or a buzzing relay at the module
