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.

Figure 92

Upper Oven Thermostat

The upper oven thermostat is in series with the upper oven gas valve, upper oven neon, and upper oven ignitor. When upper oven is turned from OFF to any temperature selection contacts 1 and 2 on thermostat close. The oven burner is turned on as the oven temperature increases.

Figure 93

The contacts 1 to L open and close to maintain selected oven temperature.

Test Procedure:

1.Disconnect electricity.

2.Remove upper oven control panel assembly.

3.With upper oven thermostat:

OFF: No continuity Contacts 1 to 2

ON: Continuity Contacts 1 to 2

Calibration is by adjusting thermostat dial as per Page 91 or by calibration screw in center of thermostat shaft.

Oven Light

All models designated to have a light in the upper oven will be equipped with a special high temperature oven light bulb which is turned on by an oven light switch located on the air intake panel.

If the oven light will not turn on:

1.Check the oven light bulb and replace if necessary.

2.Check the oven light switch for continuity. If none, replace the oven light switch.

3.Check all wiring to be sure all leads are correct and terminals are tight.

Fluorescent Light System

The fluorescent light system uses a starter and a ballast which are used in conjunction with the fluorescent lamp. To test the fluorescent lamp, push in on the switch. The lamp should light and remain on. If it does not light and remain lit, check the wiring using the diagram in the appropriate portion of this service manual. Replace by process of elimination to locate any faulty parts.

REPLACEMENT OF PARTS

Electric Ignitor: DO NOT DROP

1.Disconnect electricity at main disconnect plug or power cord.

2.Remove the upper oven control panel, upper oven bottom, and upper oven racks.

3.Remove the screw securing the ignitor mounting bracket to the upper oven burner.

4.Disconnect the one "RED" ignitor wire from the electric gas valve.

5.Disconnect the one "WHITE" ignitor wire from the white wire junction block.

6.Pull the ignitor assembly into the upper oven.

7.Reverse procedure to reinstall the ignitor assembly.
