Test Procedure

Results

Oven light socket

Remove one wire from receptacle
and test resistance of terminals.

Measure voltage at oven light...........

Indicates continuity with bulb screwed in.

120 VAC, see wiring diagram for terminal
identification.
If no voltage is present at oven light,
check wiring or light switches.

Oven indicator light
and
Surface indicator light

Remove one lead from switch
terminal and measure resistance
across terminals.
Measure voltage at indicator light .....

Switch closed: 0

Switch open: Infinite resistance

If voltage is present and light does not
operate. Replace light.
If no voltage is present at indicator light
check wiring.

Rocker switch

Measure continuity of switch
positions:
Closed .............................................
Open ...............................................

Continuity, if not replace.
Infinite, if not replace.

Ribbon radiant
elements, limiters are
not replaceable.

Remove one wire lead from element
and measure resistance of the
element.

Verify supply voltage ........................

Continuity, if not replace.

1200W: 44 to 49

Approximately

1500W: 36 to 40

Approximately

2000W: 26 to 30

Approximately

2500W: 20 to 23

Approximately

If open at room temperature, replace.

Bake element

Disconnect wire leads to element and
measure resistance of terminals.

Measure voltage at bake element.....

Continuity, approximately 20

,

if not replace.

240 VAC, see wiring diagram for terminal
identification.
If no voltage is present at bake element
check wiring.

Broil element

Disconnect wire leads to element and
measure resistance of terminals.

Measure voltage at broil element......

Continuity, approximately 19

,

if not replace.

240 VAC, see wiring diagram for terminal
identification.
If no voltage is present at broil element
check wiring.
