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.

Electric Gas Valve

The operation of the Electric Gas Valve Assembly can be checked with the use of an incandescent test lamp (105 - 120 V., 7 watt bulb). An optional test procedure for the Electric Gas Valve Assembly using a Volt/Ohmmeter is also explained.

Test Procedure Using a Test Lamp:

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

2.Attach one (1) lead of test lamp to any white wire (except for white wire on gas valve).

3.Attach the remaining lead of the test lamp to the "RED" wire on the gas valve (point A).

4.Set the oven heat control to 350°.

5.Reconnect electricity.

6.No light at "RED" wire = electrical circuit interrupted before gas valve. Light at these terminals, proceed to Step 7.

7.Disconnect electricity. Attach lead of test lamp to the "white" wire terminal on the gas valve (point A).

8.Reconnect electricity. Set the oven heat control at 350°.

9.No light at "WHITE" wire = electrical circuit interrupted in gas valve. Light at "WHITE" wire indicated an operative gas valve.

Figure 91

Optional Test with Volt/Ohmmeter

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

2.Remove the two (2) wire terminals from the gas valve (point A).

3.Set volt/ohmmeter on the X1 ohms scale. (Zero the meter.)

4.Attach a meter lead to each of the terminal studs of the valve.

5.If the meter does not show an "open" circuit, the gas valve is operative.

6.Reattach the two (2) wire terminals removed from the gas valve (point A).

Clock Timer

The automatic electronic timer is located in the upper oven control panel (see illustration) and controls bake-broil-self- clean functions for lower oven. Upper oven is manually operated by the thermostat knob. Instructions for operating and testing the clock timer are on Pages 56 - 59. Refer to RST399 wiring diagram for wiring connections.
