REMOVING THE LATCH SENSING SWITCHES, THE DOOR

LATCH SOLENOID, & THE MECHANICAL LATCH

WARNING

Electrical Shock Hazard

Disconnect from electrical supply before servic- ing unit.

Failure to do so could result in death or electri- cal shock.

CAUTION: When you work on the gas range, be careful when handling the sheet metal parts. Sharp edges may be present, and you can cut yourself if you are not careful.

REMOVING A LATCH

SENSING SWITCH

1.Pull the range away from the wall so that you can access the back.

2.Turn off the gas to the range and disconnect the power cord from the wall outlet.

3.From behind the range, remove the upper and lower access covers and the lower heat shield.

4.Remove the wires from the latch sensing switch.

5.Remove the latch sensing switch screws and remove the switch from the bracket.

6.Mount the new latch sensing switch with the switch arm and the terminals as shown, and connect the wires to the terminals.

7.Reassemble the range.

REMOVING THE DOOR

LATCH SOLENOID

1.Pull the range away from the wall so that you can access the back.

2.Turn off the gas to the range and disconnect the power cord from the wall outlet.

3.From behind the range, remove the upper and lower access covers and tthe lower heat shield.

4.Disconnect the wires and remove the sole- noid from the bracket. NOTE: The plunger is separate from the solenoid. If you wish to use the old plunger with the new solenoid, leave it connected to the latching assembly, other- wise remove the pin, and disconnect it.

5.If you are using the old plunger, insert it into the body of the new solenoid. If not, connect the plunger of the new solenoid to the latching assembly, place the actuating pin between the arms of the two sensing switches, and mount the new solenoid to the bracket.

6.Connect the wires to the new solenoid.

7.Reassemble the range.

REMOVING THE MECHANICAL LATCH

1.Pull the range away from the wall so that you can access the back.

2.Turn off the gas to the range and disconnect the power cord from the wall outlet.

3.From behind the range, remove the upper and lower access covers and tthe lower heat shield.

4.Remove the two screws from the mechanical latch and remove it and the solenoid plunger from the bracket.

5.Hook the arm of the mechanical latch over the actuator rod on the bracket and slide the solenoid plunger into the solenoid body, then mount the latch assembly to the bracket with its two screws.

6.Reassemble the range.
