TESTING AN IGNITOR SWITCH

The ignitor switch (see Figure 6-3A) is located on the gas control valve stem and closes when the knob is turned to the LITE position (see Figure 6-3B) to provide power to the ignitor spark module. To test a switch:

1.Turn off the gas and electrical power to the range.

2.Disconnect the wires from the ignitor switch terminals.

3.Set the ohmmeter to the R x 1 position.

4.With the control knob in the OFF position, touch the meter leads to the switch terminals. The meter should indicate no continuity.
