Measure voltage at oven light ....................
Remove one wire from receptacle and
test resistance of terminals ........................
Disconnect wires and test for continuity
per wiring diagram ..................................... See wiring diagram for schematic layout.
Measure continuity of switch positions:
Closed....................................................
Open ......................................................
Switch connection in following positions: ...
Not engaged...........................................
Engaged.................................................
Verify gas is supplied.
Verify proper orifice installed-Nat or LP .....
Check for obstructions, contamination
in ports or damage.....................................
Verify gas is supplied.
Verify proper orifice installed-Nat or LP .....
Check for obstructions, contamination
in ports or damage.....................................
Test for voltage at terminals.......................
Test for amount of amperage in circuit.......
(Ignitor may glow, but not have sufficient
amperage to open valve.)
Measure resistance ................................... Approximately 1000 Ω at room
Verify gas pressure (WCP) ........................
If using LP service, verify proper gas
supply conversion.
Verify gas supply is turned on....................
Adjust set screw for simmer control.
Disconnect wiring to valve.
Measure resistance on bake circuit ...........
Measure resistance on broil circuit ............
Test for resistance of spark lead................
Test ignitor to chassis ................................

Results
120 VAC, see wiring diagram for terminal
identification.
Continuity with bulb inserted.
If voltage is not present at oven light,
check wiring or light switches.
Refer to Parts Manual for replacement
components.
NOTE: If latched is moved to LOCK
position during Bake or Broil, the control
cancels the function.
Continuity
Infinite
Normally Open
COM – NO = Open, COM – NC = Closed
COM - NO = Closed, COM - NC = Open
