Broil Element - Viking RDSCE2305B Service Manual

To avoid risk of electrical shock, personal injury, or death, disconnect electrical power source to unit, unless test
procedures require power to be connected. Discharge capacitor through a resistor before attempting to service.
Ensure all ground wires are connected before certifying unit as repaired and/or operational.

Broil Element

Locate the P6 connector and the line break
relay on the control board. The P6 connector
will have a Molex plug containing a grey,
black, and violet wire. The grey wire goes to
the outer broil element, the black wire is L1
input from main power supply, and the violet
wire goes to the inner broil element.
With the power off and Molex connector
removed from the P6 control board
connection, use an ohmeter to measure
resistance between the grey wire in the
Molex plug and the yellow wire at the line
break relay. This will measure the resistance
of the outer broil element and should be
approximately 34 ohms. Likewise, the inner
broil element can be measured by reading
resistance between the violet wire in the
Molex plug and the yellow wire at the line
break relay. A resistance of approximately

30 ohms should be found. If either element
fails to read resistance, remove the element
to repair or replace (Follow the broil element
disassembly procedure).
