4. Check continuity of the switch with door open
and door closed. Normal readings are as follows:
• Door Closed: Infi nity
• Door Open: 0 Ω
How to Test Interlock System:
1. Disconnect power, remove the outer cover (See
Oven Removal / Partial Removal
capacitor.
2. Check 20 amp fuse for continuity and proper
size. Do not use any other fuse or size except 20
amp.
3. Remove monitor switch leads to isolate switch.
Check continuity of switch with door open and
door closed.
• Door Closed: Infi nity Ω
• Door Open: 0 Ω
4. Reconnect switch wiring.
5. Test Circuit Operation.
a. Connect temporary jumper leads across
RY14 relay contacts, primary interlock
and door sensing switches to simulate
shorted switch contacts. Locate convenient
connections in circuit to be certain COM and
NO terminals are used.
b. Connect ohmmeter (Rx1) across the L1
(red wire) and Neutral at the power inlet
wire harnesses. Continuity must show the
following:
• Door Closed : Some Ω
• Door Open : .3 Ω
c. Remove 20 amp fuse. Circuit must open
(infi nity Ω). If not, check wiring of monitor
and interlock circuits.
After test, remove temporary jumper
