OVEN LIGHT

Test Procedure

WARNING

Electrical Shock Hazard

Disconnect from electrical supply before ser- vicing unit.

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

If the oven light does not work:

1.Remove the oven light bulb and test it for continuity. If the meter reads infinity, the bulb is defective. If the meter shows con- tinuity, reinstall the light bulb, and go to the next step.

2.Disconnect power from the range, and check the automatic oven light switch (and the manual light switch, if one is installed) for continuity with the switch contacts closed. Also make sure that none of the wire terminals are loose or shorted to the chassis.

3.Reconnect power to the range and touch the AC voltmeter leads to one of the light switch terminals and the neutral side of the line. If the meter reads zero, the wire from the terminal block of the switch is open. If the meter reads 120-volts AC, go to the next step.

4.Turn the light switch on and touch the AC voltmeter leads to the other light switch terminal and the neutral side of the line. If the meter reads zero, the switch is open. If the meter reads 120-volts AC, go to the next step.

5.Disconnect power from the range, and remove the rear panel.

6.Reconnect power to the range and touch the AC voltmeter leads to the red lead at the light socket terminals and neutral side of the line. If the meter reads zero, the wire from the light switch to the socket is open. If the meter reads 120-volts AC, go to the next step.

7.Touch the AC voltmeter leads to the white lead at the light socket terminals and neutral side of the line. If the meter reads zero, the socket is defective. If the meter reads 120-volts AC, the neutral line is open.
