If the infinite switch contacts are good, and the element does
not heat, check for voltage at the element receptacle. If no
voltage is indicated, check for broken wiring or loose connec-
tions. If voltage is indicated, the problem is in the heating ele-
ment.
Indicator Light
If the elements heat up but the indicator light does not glow,
check for voltage at the indicator terminals. 240 VAC should
be present at the indicator terminals. If voltage is present at
the indicator terminals, replace the indicator light. If no voltage
is present at the
indicator terminals, check for loose connections, broken wir-
ing, or open L1-P contact in the infinite switch.
Surface Elements
If the heating element does not heat up, check for line voltage
at receptacle. Approximately 240 VAC should be indicated at
the
element receptacle with the infinite switch in the HI position. If
no voltage is indicated at receptacle, check for loose connec-
tions, broken wiring, or a defective infinite switch. If voltage is
present at the receptacle terminals, check element for conti-
nuity using procedures below.
1.Shut off power to range.
2.Remove element from receptacle.
3.Set ohmmeter to R X 10 scale and attach meter leads to
element. A low OHMS reading (continuity) should be indi-
cated, and this reading may vary slightly on each element
tested. If infinite OHMS (open) is indicated, element must be
replaced (see Figure 3).
Surface Elements (Infinite) Switch
The surface elements and controls provide an infinite choice
of heat settings for cooking. Controls are safety type and must
be pushed in before turning. All surface controls are marked
on the control panel for their respective heating element. Power
is supplied to the surface elements through the infinite switch
contacts L1-H1 and L2-H2.
Continuity tests can be performed on the infinite switch con-
tacts. All tests should be performed with power to the range
disconnected, and wiring removed from the switch. Set an
ohmmeter on R X 1K scale and check the contacts in the
chart below (Figure 1). The location of the switch terminals is
shown in Figure 2.
NOTE: During actual surface element operation, contacts L2-
H2 will cycle to maintain the correct heat setting. Contacts L1-
P provide power to the surface element indicator light.
