Note

: See 

Lock Assembly

 for door switch function explanation. 

Remove power from oven. 

1. 

Make resistance measurement from side of sensor and lock switch connector with exposed terminals.

2. 

The resistance measurements are made on the logic board at the connector listed on the chart below.

3. 

If abnormal reading is observed, wiggle leads at disconnect block. If any variation occurs, replace.
