Test Procedure
Refer to page 3-4 for the location of the ele-
ment controls and the procedure for servicing
them.
To test a control, perform the following steps:
1. Use an ohmmeter and set the range switch
to R x 1.
2. With no power applied, touch the leads of
the ohmmeter to the indicated terminals of
the element control (infinite switch). You
should obtain the following readings:
Control OFF:
L1 to P = no continuity
L1 to H1 = no continuity
P to H1 = no continuity
L2 to H2 = continuity
Control to HI:
L1 to P = continuity
L1 to H1 = continuity
P to H1 = continuity
L2 to H2 = continuity
