Gas Distribution Valve; Oven Temperature Sensor - KitchenAid KGST300 Technical Education

Disconnect power before servicing.
Replace all parts and panels before operating.
Failure to do so can result in death or electrical shock.

GAS DISTRIBUTION VALVE

Refer to page 4-21 for the procedure for ser-
vicing the gas distribution valve. NOTE: The
gas distribution valve and the safety valve are
serviced as an assembly, and not individually.
The gas distribution valve must be checked at
a minimum of 1-inch water column above the
set pressure. If the readings are not within the
range shown, the valve is defective and should
be replaced. The inlet pressure to the valve
should be as follows for operation:
Natural Gas—Set the pressure @ 5-inches,
maximum pressure = 14-inches.
L.P. Gas—Set the pressure @ 11-inches, maxi-
mum pressure = 14-inches.
Line Pressure Test above 1/2 lb psi (gauge):
The range and its individual shutoff valve must
be disconnected from the gas supply piping
system during any pressure testing at test pres-
sures greater than 1/2 psig (3.5 kPa).
Line Pressure Test @ 1/2 lb psi (gauge):
The range and its individual shutoff valve must
be disconnected from the gas supply piping
system during any pressure testing at test pres-
sures equal to or less than 1/2 psig (3.5 kPa).
WARNING
Electrical Shock Hazard

OVEN TEMPERATURE SENSOR

Refer to page 4-20 for the procedure for ser-
vicing the oven temperature sensor.
1. Turn off gas supply and disconnect power
to the range.
2. Disconnect the oven temperature sensor
connector.
3. Set the ohmmeter to the R x 1K scale.
4. Touch the ohmmeter test leads to the
oven temperature sensor connector pins.
The meter should indicate as follows:
1654 Ω at 177˚C (350˚F)
1000 Ω at 0˚C (32˚F)
