OVEN LIGHT SWITCH
Oven Light
Switch
3 Terminals
Electrical Shock Hazard
Disconnect from electrical supply before ser-
vicing unit.
Failure to do so could result in electrical
shock or other personal injury.
WARNING
Test Procedure
Refer to page 4-14 for the location of the oven
light switch and the procedure for servicing it.
To test the oven light switch, perform the fol-
lowing steps:
1.
Use an ohmmeter and set the range switch
to R x 1.
2.
With no power applied, remove the wires
from the switch terminals.
3.
Touch the leads of the ohmmeter to the
following terminal wires of the switch.
NOTE: A closed circuit = continuity (0
Ω
),
an open circuit = infinite (
∞
):
Black & Red:
Door Closed = infinite.
Door Open = continuity.
Black & Yellow:
Door Closed = continuity.
Door Open = infinite.
If the above results are not obtained, the switch
is defective and should be replaced.

BIMETAL SWITCH
Electrical Shock Hazard
Disconnect from electrical supply before ser-
vicing unit.
Failure to do so could result in electrical
shock or other personal injury.
WARNING
Test Procedure
Refer to page 4-6 for the location of the bimetal
switches and the procedure for servicing them.
To test the two bimetal switches, perform the
following steps:
1.
Use an ohmmeter and set the range switch
to R x 1.
2.
With no power applied, touch the ohmme-
ter leads to the switch terminals as follows.
You should obtain the following readings
at the indicated temperatures:
Ambient Bimetal Switch
= continuity be-
low the trip temperature of 203˚F.
Cooling Fan Bimetal Switch
= open below
the trip temperature of 104˚F.
If the reading is not within the range shown,
the switch is defective and should be replaced.
