GE Range Oven Not Heating or Showing Control Panel Errors? Oven Control Assembly WS01F07871 – Fix RC15 Board Failure Fast
A GE range oven that won't heat, displays error codes, or has a completely unresponsive control panel is almost always a failed oven control assembly. In most GE PCB915 series ranges, the oven control assembly (RC15 board) is the central electronic brain that manages all oven functions — temperature regulation, element activation, timer and clock operations, and all user input from the control panel. When it fails — through relay burnout, power surge damage, or component degradation — the oven may refuse to heat, display F-codes, cycle erratically, or go completely dark and unresponsive. ⚡ Common failure point in GE PCB915EK and PCB915SK series ranges. Part WS01F07871 is the genuine OEM RC15 oven control assembly that restores full oven function, accurate temperature control, and a responsive control panel — superseding 295D1828G005 and WS01F08868.
❓ Is This the Right Part?
This is the correct fix if ALL of the following are true:
- ✔ Range has power — breaker confirmed on, power cord seated
- ✔ Bake and broil elements test good (continuity confirmed with multimeter)
- ✔ Oven temperature sensor (RTD probe) tests within spec (~1,080–1,090 ohms at room temp)
- ✔ ONLY problem is oven not heating, displaying error codes, or control panel unresponsive

🔧 Common Symptoms
- Oven does not heat on bake or broil despite elements testing good
- Control panel displays F-codes or error codes that won't clear
- Control panel completely dark or unresponsive — no display, no button response
- Oven temperature significantly off from set point — overcooks or undercooks consistently
- Oven starts a cycle then shuts off prematurely with no error
- Timer, clock, or display functions stopped working after a power surge
✔ If these symptoms match, the oven control assembly is the most likely failed component.
✔ In most cases, replacing this control assembly restores full oven function and a responsive panel immediately.
📦 Part Details

Before installing the new control assembly, test the oven temperature sensor (RTD probe) resistance. A drifted or failed sensor causes the control board to overheat the oven, which burns out the new board’s relays within weeks. A good sensor reads approximately 1,080–1,090 ohms at room temperature. If it reads out of spec, replace the sensor at the same time — one service call, two parts, zero repeat failures.
⚙️ Installation
Skill Level: MODERATE — 30–45 minutes. Disconnect power at the breaker before servicing. The control assembly is located behind the rear control panel — remove the panel screws (typically 4–6 at the rear of the range), photograph all wiring harness connector positions before unplugging, then swap in the new WS01F07871 board and reconnect all harnesses in the same positions. Reassemble the panel, restore power, set the clock, and run a bake cycle to confirm accurate temperature control and full panel response.

💡 Pro Tip
Control board failures on GE ranges are frequently misdiagnosed — the oven temperature sensor (RTD probe) is the more common and far cheaper failure. Before ordering a control assembly, test the sensor resistance with a multimeter at room temperature. A good sensor reads approximately 1,080–1,090 ohms. If it reads open, shorted, or wildly out of range, replace the sensor first. If the sensor tests good and the oven still won’t heat or throws F-codes, the control assembly is confirmed as the fault and WS01F07871 is your fix.
