6. To test the left front (LF) dual element
and limiter:
a) Disconnect the wires from the dual el-
ement terminals.
b) Disconnect the wires from limiter ter-
minals 1A and 1B.
c) Touch the ohmmeter test leads to the
800W element terminals (orange/white
wire). The meter should indicate 50 Ω
±10%.
d) Touch the ohmmeter test leads to the
1600W element terminals (orange/
black wire). The meter should indicate
38 Ω ±10%.
e) Touch the ohmmeter test leads to lim-
iter terminals 1A & 2A. The meter
should indicate continuity (0 Ω).
f) Touch the ohmmeter test leads to lim-
iter terminals 1B & 2B.
With the temperature below 150˚F, the
meter should indicate an open circuit
(infinite).
With the temperature above 150˚F, the
meter should indicate continuity (0 Ω).
