Test continuity of receptacle terminals....
Measure voltage at oven light.................
Remove switch from unit and measure
the following points:
COM to NO ........................................ Plunger in continuity, plunger out infinity.
Disconnect wires and test for
continuity per wiring diagram.
Refer to Parts Manual for correct
autolatch switch associated with the
correct manufacturing number.
Verify gas is supplied.

Verify cap is positioned correctly ........... Check for obstructions in burner ports.
Test for voltage at terminals L and N .....
Check polarity and ground.....................
Measure resistance ............................... Approximately 1000 Ω at room
Verify gas is supplied.
Orifice adjusted for Natural or LP ..........
Check for obstructions or
contamination in ports ...........................
Verify gas is supplied.
Orifice adjusted for Natural or LP ..........
Check for obstructions or
contamination in ports ...........................
Test for voltage at terminals ..................
Test for amperage in the circuit .............
(Ignitor may glow but not have
sufficient amperage to open valve.)
Disconnect wiring to element and
measure resistance of terminals............
Measure voltage at broil element...........
