OPERATION AND SERVICE PROCEDURES

Electronic Range Control - ERC - (Models w/One Piece Control)

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

DOOR LATCH SWITCH CIRCUITRY TEST USING J2 CONNECTOR ON ELECTRONIC RANGE CONTROL

1.Disconnect the four (4) pin in-line connector from J2 on circuit board.

A.Continuity should be indicated J2 Pin 3 to range chassis.

B.Continuity should be indicated J2 Pin 3 to J2 Pin 4 with door latched. No continuity (open circuit)

with door unlatched.

Check door latch switch, wiring integrity according to appropriate wiring diagram.

OVEN TEMPERATURE SENSOR TEST USING J2 CONNECTOR ON ELECTRONIC RANGE CONTROL

1.Disconnect the four (4) pin in-line connector from J2 on circuit board.

2.Check for short to ground from Pin 1 to range chassis. Check for short to ground from Pin 2 to range chassis. If no short to ground, proceed to Step 3.

If short to ground is indicated then repeat test on sensor plug - replace oven sensor or wire harness as required.

3.A resistance reading can be checked across Pin 1 to Pin 2 of 4 Pin connector. A resistance reading of approximately 1091 ohms should be indicated at ambient room temperature (75°F.). If a higher or lower resistance is indicated disconnect the sensor plug and recheck sensor resistance to assure that the problem is in the sensor and not in interconnect harness or due to a bad connection.

The following table shows the corresponding resis- tance for different oven temperatures.
