Oven Light Assemblies - GE PGS908 Technical Service Manual

Oven Light Assemblies

The model PGS908 oven is equipped with one
halogen light assembly. Two light assemblies are
installed on model PGS968 and PGS975. Each
light assembly is located on the ceiling of the oven
liner. The oven door switch monitors the position
of the oven door and provides this information to
the control board. The control board operates the
light relay located on the control board. The lights
come on when the OVEN LIGHT selection on the
glass touch panel is activated, the door is opened,
or when the oven is in a cooking cycle. The oven
lights do not come on during self-cleaning or if the
Sabbath Feature is set.
Each light assembly consists of a removable light
cover, a light lens with halogen bulb and socket, and
wire harness.
Each oven light bulb has an approximate resistance
value of 26.8 Ω.
The resistance of the light bulb circuit can be
checked on the ERC. Place the control panel in the
service position. (See
Touch Panel and ERC
Model PGS908: Open the door and test between L1
and N for the approximate resistance of 26.8 Ω.
Model PGS968 and PGS975: To check both bulbs,
test between OVLT and the non-ribbed (line) side
of the power cord for the approximate parallel
resistance value of 13.6 Ω. A value of approximately
26.8 Ω indicates an open bulb or wiring.
To access each oven light assembly, open the oven
door and remove the two 1/4-in. hex-head screws
that attach the light assembly to the oven liner.
The light assembly and wiring can then be pulled
.)
away from the oven liner approximately 2½ inches.
When replacing the light assembly, cut the wires
and splice the new light assembly using approved
heat resistant connectors.
