Standard & Tripletier Ignition Switches - KitchenAid KGRA806P Technical Education

Disconnect power before servicing.
Replace all parts and panels before operating.
Failure to do so can result in death or electrical shock.
STANDARD & TRIPLETIER
IGNITION SWITCHES
Refer to page 4-4 for the procedure for servic-
ing the standard and TripleTier
switches.
NOTE: The standard ignition switches are con-
nected to each other in a parallel circuit so that
if one switch fails, the others will still operate.
To check each of the ignition switches for
proper operation, perform the following steps.
1. Unplug range or disconnect power.
2. Turn off gas supply to range.
3. Remove the control panel and access the
ignition switch connector (see page 4-2 for
the procedure).
4. Reinstall the knobs on the valve stems.
5. To test the standard ignition switches:
a) Disconnect the ignition switch connec-
tor from the wire harness.
b) Set the ohmmeter to the R x 1 scale.
c) Connect the ohmmeter test leads to the
pins of the spark module connector.

d) Press and turn one of the gas valve
knobs to the LITE position. At that point,
the switch should close, and the meter
should indicate continuity.
e) Continue to turn the knob away from
the LITE position. The switch should
open, and the meter should indicate an
open (infinite ∞) circuit.
f) Repeat steps d and e for the other ig-
nition switches. If the readings are not
as stated, replace the entire ignition
switch assembly. They are supplied as
an assembly and cannot be changed
individually.
To test the TripleTier
a) Disconnect one of the wires from the
ignition switch terminals.
b) Set the ohmmeter to the R x 1 scale.
c) Connect the ohmmeter test leads to the
pins of the ignition switch. The meter
should indicate an open circuit (infi-
nite).
d) With the ohmmeter test leads con-
nected as stated in the previous step,
press the switch actuator. The meter
should indicate continuity (0 Ω).
