Check 1

Result

Possible Cause

Open the oven door and turn on the oven light

Light does not work

1

No power to range

2

Light bulb failed (most likely cause)

3

Fault in power supply to switch

4

Faulty switch

Action

1

Are other parts of the range working - is the clock on, do the ovens and oven neons work? If not then there
is probably no power to the range. Investigate power supply.

2

Remove the light bulb (see ‘Servicing Procedures’). Check the bulb with a resistance with a meter. The cold
resistance should be very approximately 100 ohms. Replace it if it is open circuit.

3 & 4 If the bulb is OK then move the range forward (see ‘Servicing Procedures’) and remove the rear cover. With

the meter check the continuity of the wiring to the bulb and the action of the switch. Replace wiring or
switch as necessary.

Check 2

Result

Possible Cause

Turn the function control to the
Defrost setting and check that the
oven fan starts to spin.
Remember - the clock must be set to
the time of day before the oven will
work.

Fan does not spin

1

No power to range

2

Fan blades impeded

3

Fault in power supply to switch

4

Faulty switch

5

Fault in power supply to fan

6

Fan motor faulty

Action

1

Are other parts of the range working - is the clock on, do the oven lights and oven neons work?
If not then there is probably no power to the range. Investigate power supply.

2

Remove the oven inner back and check that the fan is not impeded.

3 - 5 If the fan is not impeded, not then move the range forward (see the ‘Servicing Procedures’

section for the correct method) and remove the rear covers. With a meter check the continuity
of the wiring to the fan and the action of the switch. Replace wiring, switch or fan as necessary.

Check 3

Result

Possible Cause

Remove the oven racks. Turn the oven temperature
control to 400F and turn the function control to each
setting in turn and check that the elements start to heat
up. See the chart opposite.
You should be able to feel the heat from the element after
few moments by holding your hand close to the element
(DON’T TOUCH THE ELEMENTS!).
The bottom element may take slightly longer to heat up.
Turn the controls off when you have fi nished.

One element
does not heat up.

Burnt out element (most likely cause)

Faulty switch

Fault in power supply to element

No element
heats up

Faulty oven thermostat.(most likely cause)

Faulty switch

Fault in power supply to elements

Action

One element not working

Remove the element - see the ‘Servicing Procedures’ section for the correct procedure.
Check it with a resistance meter. Replace with a new element if necessary. If the
element is OK then move the range forward (see the ‘Servicing Procedures’ section for
the correct method) and check the continuity of the wiring and the thermostat.

No element working

Remove the range
cooktop and check the
thermostat and function
switch
