Illustration Component Test Procedure Results
Oven light socket
(select models)
Measure voltage at oven light ................
Remove one wire from receptacle and
test resistance of terminals ....................
120 VAC, see wiring diagram for terminal
identification.
Continuity with bulb inserted.
If voltage is not present at oven light,
check wiring or light switches.
Manual latch
assembly with switch
(select models)
Disconnect wires and test for
continuity per wiring diagram ................. See wiring diagram for schematic layout.
Refer to Parts Manual for replacement
components.
NOTE: If latch is moved to LOCK
position during Bake or Broil, the control
cancels the function.
Oven temperature
sensor
Measure resistance................................
Approximately 1000
Ω at room
temperature 80°
F.
Bake element
(select models)
Disconnect wire leads to element and
measure resistance of terminals ............
Measure voltage at bake element ..........
Approximately 20.5 to 22.8
Ω.
240 VAC, see wiring diagram for terminal
identification. If no voltage is present at
bake element, check wiring.
Bake element
(select models)
Disconnect wire leads to element and
measure resistance of terminals ............
Measure voltage at bake element ..........
Approximately 20.6 to 22.6
Ω.
240 VAC, see wiring diagram for terminal
identification. If voltage is not present at
bake element, check wiring.
Broil element
(select models)
Disconnect wire leads to element and
measure resistance of terminals ............
Measure voltage at broil element ...........
Approximately 17.7 to 19.5
Ω.
240 VAC, see wiring diagram for terminal
identification. If voltage is not present at
broil element, check wiring.
Indicator light
