TERMINALS

Figure 6-8

To test the switch(es):

1.

Turn off the gas and electrical power to the range.

2.

Disconnect the wires from the switch terminals.

3.

Set the ohmmeter to the R x 1 position.

4.

Connect one of the ohmmeter leads to the common (COM) terminal.

5.

Touch the other ohmmeter lead to the normally-open (N.O.) switch terminal. The ohmmeter
should indicate infinity (

∞), or an open circuit.

6.

Close the switch and the ohmmeter should now indicate continuity (0

Ω).

If the above results are not obtained, the switch is defective and should be replaced.
