GE Part Number WB27T10276 OVEN CONTROL ERC3B

New control works great, but. . .

The new control was not identical to the original control, and its extra wire terminals threw me off at first. It turns out that the unused terminals are not necessary for the control to function properly. Each terminal has an ID number, and as long as the you connect the original wire to the identical ID, you’ll be OK.

Oven Controler Replacement

This unit had some changes in the places that were different than the original unit. This was expected since the wall oven was at least 15 years old. I took a picture of the connectors good enough to see the labels near them and the colors of the wires. I was then able to cross reference to the new unit’s connectors.

Wrong Part

I had ordered this replacement part using the GE part number. I paid for shipping and when it wasn’t the correct replacement part I had to pay for the return shipping. So much for any savings on the purchase price! I went to a local appliance parts store and got the correct part but also paid approximately 50% more for the part. The part I recieved through the Amazon vendor didn’t include any installation instructions it would have been difficult to properly install the replacement part even if it was the correct part. There were several wire harnesses included with the locally purchased replacement part as well. These were not included in the part I ordered through Amazon. Overall I learned that a bargin isn’t always what it appears to be in the end.
