When testing any of the components, be sure
to observe the following conditions:
• Disconnect the power to the cooktop before
removing the unit from its mounting location.
• Make sure that all wires are properly con-
nected before operating the cooktop.
• Grasp the wires by their connectors when
removing them from the element and limiter
terminals.
Refer to page 4-3 for the procedure for servic-
ing an element and limiter.
1. Disconnect power to the cooktop.
2. Disconnect the main wiring harness con-
nectors from the element and limiter termi-
nals.
3. Set the ohmmeter to the R x 1 scale.
4. Touch the ohmmeter test leads to the
following terminals. The meter should in-
dicate as shown:
Element terminals 1 & 2 = 35 to 46
Ω
.
Element terminals 2 & 3 = 52 to 64
Ω
.
Limiter terminals 2 & 4 = 0
Ω
.
