Oven Light
All models designated to have a light in the upper oven will
be equipped with a special high temperature oven light bulb
which is turned on by an oven light switch located on the air
intake panel.
If the oven light will not turn on:
1. Check the oven light bulb and replace if necessary.
2. Check the oven light switch for continuity. If none,
replace the oven light switch.
3. Check all wiring to be sure all leads are correct and
terminals are tight.
Fluorescent Light System
The fluorescent light system uses a starter and a ballast
which are used in conjunction with the fluorescent lamp. To
test the fluorescent lamp, push in on the switch. The lamp
should light and remain on. If it does not light and remain lit,
check the wiring using the diagram in the appropriate portion
of this service manual. Replace by process of elimination
to locate any faulty parts.
