We already have the WD40 and if the whining ever happens again, we'll certainly give it a try. Thanks! Jon, that’s an intriguing idea.

If it does and if the repair Jonnie comes along, puffs out his cheeks, emits a low whistle, and pronouces Death, you might try a squirt of WD40 (actually, I have no idea what that is called in the US, but it is an aerosol lubricant that is noted for its cleaning and water-repelling properties and you chaps MUST have something similar). I can't guarantee it will work, but it did for us. Could be a solenoid about to go for a Burton.

It began to make an annoying whining sound and never stopped no matter what I did to it. Like in your case, the sound was obviously coming out of the electronics panel on the front of the stove. Since the stove was a built in I finally had to turn off the circuit breaker to stop the noise. When I wanted to use the stove the next day I turned the breaker on and the noise was gone. Things were O.K. for a couple of days but then the noise came back. This time it never stopped and I had to replace the range because the cost of repairing that electronics panel and labor was almost as much as the cost of a new stove. I hope you have better luck than I did. I don’t want to be the bearer of bad news, but–
