Troubleshooting Procedures
!WARNING
To avoid risk of electrical shock, personal injury or death; disconnect power and gas to oven before servicing, unless testing requires power and/or gas.
Problem | Possible Cause | Correction | |
| Failed ignitor | • Check ignitor current draw, 3.2 – | |
|
| 3.6 Amps. Replace ignitor, if it | |
|
| fails test. | |
| Gas pressure too high | • Check for correct gas pressure. | |
No gas flows to burner. |
| Natural gas pressure should be 4" | |
Ignitor glows red. |
| WCP and LP gas pressure should | |
|
| be 10" WCP. | |
| Failed gas valve | • Check gas valve for continuity. | |
| Loose wire connection or broken wire | • Verify all connections are clean | |
|
| and tight, replace broken wire. | |
| Ignitor positioned too far from burner | • Reposition ignitor closer to | |
|
| bake/broil burner. | |
| Dirt or grease in orifice or burner | • Clean orifice or burner. | |
| Insufficient gas pressure | • Check for correct gas pressure. | |
Gas flows to bake/broil |
| Natural gas pressure should be 5" | |
| WCP and LP gas pressure should | ||
burner, but burner does not |

light. | Power outage | ||
• Verify power is present at unit. | |||
| |||
|
| Verify that the circuit breaker is | |
|
| not tripped. | |
|
| • Replace household fuse, but do | |
|
| not fuse capacity. | |
| Power outage | • Verify power is present at unit. | |
Broil burner shuts off shortly |
| Verify that the circuit breaker is | |
| not tripped. | ||
after the start of |

operation. Bake and broil |
| ||
| not fuse capacity. | ||
functions operate normally. |

Control Error | • See “Control Systems | ||
| |||
|
| Troubleshooting.” | |
| No power to fan motor | • Check for 120 VAC supplied at | |
|
| fan motor. If no voltage is | |
|
| present, check for broken or | |
|
| loose wiring between fan motor | |
|
| and relay board. If voltage is | |
Fan motor does not operate. |
| present at fan motor, go to the | |
| next step. | ||
| Failed fan motor or winding/frozen shaft | ||
| • Check motor winding for | ||
|
| continuity. Check for a frozen | |
|
| motor shaft. Check for broken | |
|
| wiring between motor and neutral | |
|
| terminal block. |
