Component Testing
Illustration Component Test Procedure Results
Oven light socket Remove one wire from receptacle
and test resistance of terminals........
Measure voltage at oven light...........
Indicates continuity with bulb screwed in.
120 VAC, see wiring diagram for terminal
identification.
If no voltage is present at oven light, check
wiring or light switches.
Autolatch assembly
with switch
Disconnect wires and test for
continuity per wiring diagram.
Refer to Parts Manual for correct
autolatch switch associated with the
correct manufacturing number.
See wiring diagram for schematic layout.
Access assembly by removing left side
panel.
