Correction
• Check for 120 VAC at control. If
no voltage is present, Replace
control.
• Verify all connections are clean
and tight, replace broken wire.
• Check ignitor current draw.
Replace ignitor if it fails test.
• Check for correct gas pressure.
Natural gas pressure should be
4" WCP and LP gas pressure
should be 10" WCP.
• Check gas valve for continuity
• Verify all connections are clean
and tight, replace broken wire.
• Reposition ignitor closer to
bake/broil burner.
• Clean orifice or burner.
• Check for correct gas pressure.
Natural gas pressure should be
4" WCP and LP gas pressure
should be 10" WCP.
• Verify power is present at unit.
Verify that the circuit breaker is
not tripped.
• Replace household fuse, but do
not fuse capacity.
• Check lamp and replace is
necessary.
• Check for broken, loose or dirty
connections.
• Check light socket for continuity.
• Check plunger for continuity.
• Minor smoking or order is normal
the first few times of oven usage.
• Ventilate area well and perform
self-clean cycle.
• Check for 120 VAC supplied at
fan motor. If no voltage is
present, check for broken or
loose wiring between fan motor
and relay board. If voltage is
present at fan motor, go to the
next step.
• Check motor winding for
continuity. Check for a frozen
motor shaft. Check for broken
wiring between motor and neutral
terminal block.
