Oven Door Latch Assembly - KitchenAid JOB AID 4317282 Technical Education

WARNING
Electrical Shock Hazard
Disconnect the electrical supply from the
unit before servicing.
Failure to do so could result in death or
electrical shock.
TEST PROCEDURE
Refer to page 2-6 for the procedure for servic-
ing the oven door latch assembly.
1. Disconnect power from the range.
2. Set the ohmmeter to the R x 10 scale.
3. Disconnect the wires from the solenoid
terminals.
4. Touch the ohmmeter test leads to the
solenoid terminals. The ohmmeter should
indicate 165 to 180 Ω.
5. For the switch you are testing, touch the
ohmmeter test leads to the following ter-
minals:
a) N.O. and COM. The ohmmeter should
indicate an open circuit (infinity ∞).
b) N.C. and COM. The ohmmeter should
indicate a closed circuit (0 Ω).
Resistance Tests (At The Electronic
Range Control)
NOTE: To test the door latch solenoid and
switch assembly at the electronic range con-
trol, perform the following steps (see page 2-4
for removing the top access panel).
1. Disconnect power from the range.
2. If not already done, close the oven door.
3. Set the ohmmeter to the R x 1 scale.

4. To test the solenoid:
a) Disconnect the P6-1 (white) and the
P6-2 (yellow) wire connectors from the
electronic range control.
b) Touch the test leads to the P6-1 (white)
and the P6-2 (yellow) wire connectors.
The ohmmeter should indicate 50 Ω.
5. To test the door switch:
a) Disconnect the P7-1 (green) and the
P7-3 (tan) wire connectors from the
electronic range control.
b) Touch the test leads to the ends of the
green and tan leads. The ohmmeter
should indicate a closed circuit (0 Ω)
with the door open, and an open circuit
(infinity ∞) with the door closed.
6. To test the latch switch:
a) Disconnect the P7-2 (blue) and the P7-
3 (tan) wire connectors from the elec-
tronic range control.
b) Touch the test leads to the ends of the
green and tan leads. The ohmmeter
should indicate a closed circuit (0 Ω)
with the door locked, and an open cir-
cuit (infinity ∞) with the door unlocked.
