ohms range and following the thermostat contact chart.

Power to the oven must be turned off and the thermostat

wiring removed when checking the contacts for continuity.

Access to the thermostat contacts can be made by remov-

ing the control panel.

Thermostat Contact Chart

When properly operating, the spark module will produce a

spark at the ignitor accompanied by a sharp snapping

sound each time the ignitor sparks.

The spark module is located under the burner box on the

left side.

The sealed top burner units have two (2) spark modules,

one (1) on the left and one (1) on the right or one (1) spark

module with four (4) ignitor connections.

1.

Disconnect electricity at disconnecting plug, and turn

off gas supply to the range.

2.

Check wiring against wiring diagram to be sure all

terminals and wire-connections are correct and tight.

3.

SET VOLT/OHMMETER ON THE 120 VAC SCALE

or higher.

4.

Attach one (1) meter lead to the "L" wire terminal on

the spark module.

5.

Attach the remaining lead of the test meter to the "N"

"WHITE" terminal on the spark module.

6.

Reconnect electricity at main disconnect plug.

7.

Turn all top burner knobs to the "LIGHT" positions.

8.

No line voltage (115 VAC ± 10 VAC) at test meter

indicates the electrical circuit is interrupted before

spark module.

9.

Line voltage at test meter - check ignitors.

10. If ignitors are OK; then replace ignition module.

A spark ignitor is located between each pair of left and right

burners.  Sealed burner units have an electrode for each

burner.  When any of the burner valves is turned to the

"LITE" position, the spark switch on the valve closes,

supplying 120 VAC to the spark module.  This activates the

module which produces the spark at the ignitor electrode

to light the burner.

1.

Disconnect electricity at main disconnect plug.

2.

Disconnect the high voltage spark ignitor leads from

the terminals on the spark module.

3.

SET THE VOLT/OHMMETER ON THE "RX1" OHM

SCALE (adjust zero).

4.

Attach one meter lead to a good ground (bare metal)

on the range body.

5.

Touch the remaining meter lead to the terminal of the

ignitor lead.  A continuity reading from the ignitor lead

indicates the ignitor lead is shorted to ground.  If no

continuity reading from the ignitor lead to ground,

proceed to Step 6.

6.

Attach one (1) meter lead to the terminal of the ignitor

lead and touch the remaining meter lead on the

opposite end of the ignitor lead which is attached to

the top burner mounting bracket.  Repeat same

procedure with the other ignitor lead.  No continuity on

the lead indicates an open circuit in the ignitor lead

wire.  (On sealed burner units, one (1) meter lead

must be attached to the electrode socket at the

venturi.)

Each spark switch is connected in parallel in the spark
