Surface Elements & Limiters

WARNING

Electrical Shock Hazard

Disconnect power before servicing.

Replace all parts and panels before operating.

Failure to do so can result in death or electrical shock.

Refer to page 4-5 for the procedure for servic- ing the elements & limiters.

1.Unplug range or disconnect power.

2.Set the ohmmeter to the R X 1 scale.

3.Raise the cooktop.

4.To test the left front (LF) dual element and limiter:

a)Disconnect the red wire from the ele- ment terminal.

b)Disconnect the wires from limiter ter- minals 1a and 1b.

c)Touch the ohmmeter test leads to the center wire terminal, and the terminal that had the red wire connected to it.

The meter should indicate between 35 and 65 Ω.

d)Reconnect the red wire and disconnect the orange wire from the dual element terminal.

e)Touch the ohmmeter test leads to the center terminal and the terminal that had the orange wire connected to it.

The meter should indicate between 25 and 55 Ω.

f)Touch the ohmmeter test leads to lim-

iter terminals 1a & 2a. The meter should indicate continuity (0 Ω).

g)Touch the ohmmeter test leads to lim- iter terminals 1b & 2b.

With the temperature below 150˚F, the meter should indicate an open circuit (infinite).

With the temperature above 150˚F, the meter should indicate continuity (0 Ω).
