HEATING ELEMENT TEST
1.
Turn power ON and set temperature control to
the highest setting.
2.
Measure the voltage at the heating element
terminals and verify it against the data plate
voltage.
A.
If voltage is incorrect, find the source of the
problem. If voltage is correct, check current
draw (amps) through the heating element
lead wires.
NOTE:
This method is preferred over a resistance
check when a clamp on type amp meter is available.
1)
If current draw is correct then heating
element is functioning properly.
See
table below for proper values.
2)
If current draw is not correct, turn the
power switch OFF and
disconnect
the electrical supply to the oven.
a.
Replace heating element then
proceed to step 3.
B.
If unable to check current draw, a
resistance check may indicate a
malfunctioning element.
1)
Disconnect electrical supply.
2)
Remove lead wires from the heating
element and check resistance (ohms).
See table below for proper values.
3.
Check for proper operation.
