Procedure 9
Step 1: Disconnect power supply
to range.
Step 2: Remove oven door and
oven racks (See Procedures 33 & 6
respectively)
Step 3: Gently lift bake element
and remove 2 screws holding rear
support to the back of oven cavity.
Step 4: Pull bake element 2" to 3"
away from back wall. Inspect wiring
connections carefully. Check for
signs of burnt wiring (terminals
should be shiny and bright).
Step 5: Mark and remove wiring
ends from bake element by pulling
ends up and away from element
terminals.
Step 6: With bake element
removed, test for continuity. Place
test probes on each terminal.
Needle should read approximately
25 ohms for 3500W elements and
16 ohms for 5,000W elements. If
no reading or significantly different,
replace.

Step 7: Test bake element for
grounding as well by setting
multimeter to Rx1 resistance.
Place one test probe on one
terminal and other on metal sheath.
If reading changes the element is
grounded and needs replacing.
Step 8: Replace new bake
element and attach wiring in same
position as originally. Fasten
support bracket securely to ensure
proper grounding of element.
Step 9: If bake element tests in
good condition, test continuity in
wiring to relay board (Proc 18),
bake/limit broil limit (Proc 7), safety
limit (Proc 8) and terminal block
(Proc 2).
