GENERAL INFORMATION
1. When diagnosing a problem, always begin by checking the range for the proper line voltage,
open fuses, and defective components.
2. New ranges that have been in operation for only a short time should be checked for loose
connections or incorrect wiring.
3. When using a test meter, use one that has a sensitivity of 20,000 ohms-per-volt, or greater.
4. The ranges described in this section have spark ignition top burners, and silicon carbide (glow-
bar) oven igniters with combination bake and broil burners.
5. The following pages provide a general procedure for troubleshooting each of the major
components in the range. The component locations are shown in Figure 6-1.
