D. Mercury Contactor Replacement

Figure 84

Early PS200-series electric ovens and all PS310/360-se-

 

ries electric ovens use mercury contactors to activate the

 

heating elements. Each pole in the contactor is a separate

 

mercury-filled tube that is individually replaceable. This

 

feature ensures that the entire contactor should never have

 

to be replaced.

 

Individual part numbers for the mercury contactor compo-

 

nents are listed in the Part Number Reference sections on

 

Pages 140 and 142, respectively.

• Remove the complete contactor from the oven.

 

Then, remove the terminal clamps from the

 

contactor tube(s) to be replaced.

 

Figure 85

Locate the Tinnerman clips on the bottom side of the contactor that hold each individual contact tube in place.

Find the break in the tube bracket located in the center. Then, using a diagonal cutter, cut the Tinnerman clip so that it may be removed.

Figure 86

Remove the contact tube. If the coil must be re- placed, all three contactor tubes must first be re- moved.

To replace the contactor tube(s), slide the thin end of the tube into the contactor bracket.
