That is documented behavior, not damage. And several appliances on this make will not run a timed function until the time of day has been set, which is exactly why one can look dead and be perfectly well. Set the clock. Then, if there is a code, the documented reset for several of them is to switch the appliance off at the breaker for a full minute and back on. ### What we will not tell you That a storm surge killed your control board. It is a popular explanation and we could not find a single manufacturer or regulator source connecting Florida storms to this maker’s electronics — every source that says it is selling surge protection. Florida genuinely does lead the country in lightning, and hurricane-season outages are a fact of life here. What follows honestly from that is **PF**, a clock that needs setting, and a breaker cycle. A board that will not clear after a proper breaker cycle needs service; a board blamed on the weather without a measurement is a sale. ### Why this figure is above the mainstream band Researched market ranges put a cooking control board at roughly $150 to $300 all in on mainstream equipment. This row starts higher, and the reason is the platform rather than the badge: more than one board, a network between them, and a diagnosis that has to establish which one is reporting before anything is ordered. We would rather publish that reasoning than a number with nothing behind it. ### What the figure is A starting point and a researched market range for South Florida rather than a quote for your appliance. The exact cost is confirmed after an on-site diagnostic and agreed in writing before anything is opened. What moves this figure Researched market range: control board $150–$300 on mainstream equipment Current platforms carry more than one board and a network between them The board is never ordered on the strength of a code alone Which board, on a platform that has several Current cooking appliances carry more than one board with a network between them, and the code says which one is reporting. That is why this figure sits above the mainstream researched band rather than inside it, and the page would rather explain that than quietly print a bigger number. Whether it is the board at all Sensors, harnesses, latches, elements and supply problems get blamed on boards constantly. Measuring what the board is reporting on comes first, every time. It is the difference between a repair and an expensive part that changes nothing. The display, which may be a separate assembly On some appliances the display and the control are two parts. Where both have gone it is two parts; where only one has, it is worth knowing which, and that is a measurement rather than an assumption.

That is a power failure message and it is documented behavior rather than damage. Set the time of day. Several functions on this make will not run until the clock is set, which is why an appliance can look dead and be perfectly well. ### The panel does not respond to any button. Try the control lock first — a press-and-hold on the button your model names — and then a full breaker cycle for one minute. Those two account for a real share of these calls and cost nothing. A panel that is still dead after both is worth a visit. ### Did the storm do this? We cannot honestly tell you that it did. There is no manufacturer or regulator source connecting storms here to this maker's electronics, and we would rather say so than sell you a story. What is documented is the power failure message and the breaker-cycle reset, and those are free to try. ### Can a board be repaired instead of replaced? Occasionally, and where it genuinely is repairable we will say so — it matters most on older appliances where a replacement board is scarce. On current platforms a replacement is faster and more predictable. --- **[Read full article: Oven and range control board repair cost](https://kitchenaidmiami.support/repair-cost/cooking-control-and-display-repair/)**
