Component Testing; Oven Components; Blower Motor; Oven Temperature Sensor - KitchenAid KEBK171SSS Technical Education

Before testing any of the components,
perform the following checks:
• The most common cause for control failure
is corrosion on connectors. Therefore, dis-
connecting and reconnecting wires will be
necessary throughout test procedures.
• All tests/checks should be made with a VOM
or DVM having a sensitivity of 20,000 ohms-
per-volt DC, or greater.
Disconnect power before servicing.
Replace all parts and panels before operating.
Failure to do so can result in death or electrical shock.

BLOWER MOTOR

Refer to page 4-16 for the procedure for ac-
cessing the blower motor.
1. Unplug oven or disconnect power.
2. Set the ohmmeter to the R x 1 scale.
3. Touch the ohmmeter test leads across wire
connector terminals. The meter should
indicate between 181 and 240 Ω.

COMPONENT TESTING

OVEN COMPONENTS

Electrical Shock Hazard
• Check all connections before replacing com-
ponents, looking for broken or loose wires,
failed terminals, or wires not pressed into
connectors far enough.
• Voltage checks must be made with all con-
nectors attached to the boards.
• Resistance checks must be made with power
cord unplugged from outlet, and with wiring
harness or connectors disconnected.
WARNING

OVEN TEMPERATURE SENSOR

Refer to page 4-11 for the procedure for ac-
cessing the oven temperature sensor.
1. Unplug oven or disconnect power.
2. Set the ohmmeter to the R x 1K scale.
3. Touch the ohmmeter test leads across wire
connector terminals. The meter should
indicate approximately 1091 Ω @ 75°F
(23.9°C).
