GENERAL INFORMATION

1.When diagnosing a problem, always begin by checking the range for the proper line voltage, open fuses, and defective components.

2.New ranges that have been in operation for only a short time should be checked for loose connections or incorrect wiring.

3.When using a test meter, use one that has a sensitivity of 20,000 ohms-per-volt, or greater.

4.The ranges described in this section have spark ignition top burners, and silicon carbide (glow- bar) oven igniters with combination bake and broil burners.

5.The following pages provide a general procedure for troubleshooting each of the major components in the range. The component locations are shown in Figure 6-1.
