UPPER OVEN - RST Models

FIRE OR EXPLOSION

TO AVOID THE RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK, PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH DISCONNECT POWER BEFORE SERVICING, UNLESS TESTING REQUIRES IT.

OPERATING AND TROUBLESHOOTING

PROCEDURES

Upper Oven Controls

The upper oven controls consist of a thermostat, electric gas valve, and a 120 VAC electric ignitor to provide ignition for the gas at the oven burner.

PROBLEMS

1.Oven Burner will not turn on.

2.Gas valve opens but burner does not ignite.

POSSIBLE CAUSE

No 120 VAC to range.

Inoperative ignitor.

Inoperative gas valve.

Inoperative thermostat.

Faulty wiring.

Bake ignitor positioned to far from burner.

CORRECTION

Check electric at wall outlet.

Check ignitor according to instru

Check gas valve according to in valve.

Check thermostat according to i thermostat..

Check wiring against appropriate sure all terminals and connection

Reposition bake ignitor closer to

Adjust universal orifice according installation instructions.

Electric Ignitor Test

The operating of the Oven "ELECTRIC IGNITOR" can be checked by using a Volt/Ohmmeter as follows: NOTE: This check must be made while the ignitor is at ambient room temperature. It is a continuity check of the ignitor.

1.Disconnect electricity. (Disconnect plug or power cord.)

2.Set the volt/ohmmeter on the RX1K ohms scale. (Zero the meter.)

3.Attach one (1) lead of the volt/ohmmeter to any white wire.

4.Remove the electric ignitor wire terminal from the ELECTRIC GAS VALVE. (Refer to the appropriate wiring diagram to determine the correct ignitor wire terminal.)

5.Attach the remaining meter lead to the ignitor wire terminal removed from the ELECTRIC GAS VALVE.

6.If the meter indicated "0" OHMS the ignitor is opera- tive.

7.Reconnect wire terminals according to the appropri- ate wiring diagram.
