SAFE SERVICING PRACTICES - ALL APPLIANCES
To avoid personal injury and/or property damage, it is important that Safe Servicing
Practices be observed. The following are some limited examples of safe practices:
1. DO NOT attempt a product repair if you have any doubts as to your ability to
complete it in a safe and satisfactory manner.
2. Before servicing or moving an appliance:
• Remove the power cord from the electrical outlet, trip the circuit breaker to the
OFF position, or remove the fuse.
• Turn off the gas supply.
• Turn off the water supply.
3. Never interfere with the proper operation of any safety device.
4. USE ONLY REPLACEMENT PARTS CATALOGED FOR THIS APPLIANCE.
SUBSTITUTIONS MAY DEFEAT COMPLIANCE WITH SAFETY
STANDARDS SET FOR HOME APPLIANCES.
5. GROUNDING: The standard color coding for safety ground wires is GREEN, or
GREEN with YELLOW STRIPES. Ground leads are not to be used as current
carrying conductors. It is EXTREMELY important that the service technician
reestablish all safety grounds prior to completion of service. Failure to do so will
create a hazard.
6. Prior to returning the product to service, ensure that:
• All electrical connections are correct and secure
• All electrical leads are properly dressed and secured away from sharp edges,
high-temperature components, and moving parts
• All non-insulated electrical terminals, connectors, heaters, etc. are adequately
spaced away from all metal parts and panels
• All safety grounds (both internal and external) are correctly and securely
connected
• All panels are properly and securely reassembled

3. Element resistance
The wattage rating is stamped on the element. To determine the resistance divide the wattage by the voltage
rating on the element (either 250 or 120) to obtain the
amperage. Then divide the amperage into the voltage
rating to obtain the resistance. If for some reason you
cannot find the wattage rating, as a general rule most
element’s resistance will be between 15 and 45 Ohms.

Normal Installation Steps
1. Anti-Tip Bracket Installation Instructions
Important Safety Warning - To reduce the risk of
tipping of the range, the range must be secured to
the floor by properly installed anti-tip bracket and
screws packed with the range. Failure to install the
anti-tip bracket will allow the range to tip over if
excessive weight is placed on an open door or if a
child climbs upon it. Serious injury might result
from spilled hot liquids or from the range itself.
Important Note to the Consumer
Keep these instructions with your owner's guide for
future reference.
• As when using any appliance generating heat, there
are certain safety precautions you should follow.
These are listed in the
carefully.
• Be sure your range is installed and grounded properly
by a qualified installer or service technician.
• Make sure the wall coverings around the range can
withstand the heat generated by the range.
• To eliminate the need to reach over the surface
elements, cabinet storage space above the elements
should be avoided.
Before Starting - Tools You Will Need:
For leveling legs and Anti-Tip Bracket:
• Adjustable wrench or channel lock pliers
Use & Care Manual, read it
13
If range is ever moved to a different location, the
anti-tip brackets must also be moved and installed
with the range.
Instructions are provided for installation in wood or
cement fastened to either the floor or wall. When
installed to the wall, make sure that screws
completely penetrate dry wall and are secured in
wood or metal. When fastening to the floor or wall,
be sure that screws do not penetrate electrical
wiring or plumbing.
A. Locate the Bracket Using the Template -(Bracket
may be located on either the left or right side of the
range. Use the information below to locate the
bracket if template is not available). Mark the floor
or wall where left or right side of the range will be
located. If rear of range is against the wall or no
further than 1-1/4" from wall when installed, you may
use the wall or floor mount method. If molding is
installed and does not allow the bracket to fit flush
against the wall, remove molding or mount bracket
to the floor. For wall mount, locate the bracket by
placing the back edge of the template against the
rear wall and the side edge of template on the mark
made referencing the side of the range. Place
bracket on top of template and mark location of the
screw holes in wall. If rear of range is further than 11/4" from the wall when installed, attach bracket to
the floor. For floor mount, locate the bracket by
placing back edge of the template where the rear of
the range will be located. Mark the location of the
screw holes shown in template.
B. Drill Pilot Holes and Fasten Bracket - Drill a 1/8"
pilot hole where screws are to be located. If bracket
is to be mounted to the wall, drill pilot hole at an
approximate 20° downward angle. If bracket is to be
mounted to masonry or ceramic floors, drill a 5/32"
pilot hole 1-3/4" deep. The screws provided may be
used in wood or concrete material. Use a 5/16" nutdriver or flat head screwdriver to secure the bracket
in place.
the bottom of the range and the leveling leg to allow
room for the bracket. Use a spirit level to check your
adjustments. Slide range back into position. Visually
check that rear leveling leg is inserted into and fully

SECTION B - SURFACE ELEMENT
CONTROL SYSTEMS
Three types of surface elements control systems are
covered in this manual.
1. Standard infinite switch.
2. Dual infinite switch.
3. Electronic top element system. (ESEC 5)
Standard infinite switch:
The surface elements and standard infinite switches provide an infinite choice of heat settings for cooking. Controls are safety type and must be pushed in before turning. All surface controls are marked on the control panel
for their respective heating element. Power is supplied
to the surface elements through the infinite switch contacts L1-H1 and L2-H2. During actual surface element
operation, if the control is set to the high position contacts L2-H2 are lock closed providing continuous power
to the element. In all other setting contacts L2-H2 will
cycle to maintain the correct heat setting. Contacts L1P provide power to the surface element indicator light.

Element does not heat:
Checking the system with a Voltmeter, if the element
does not heat up.
Troubleshooting:
There are four ways a surface control system with a
standard infinite switch can fail.
1. The element does not heat.
2. The switch does not cycle the element off and
on when set to a position other than high.
3. The element operates correctly, but the
indicator light does not glow.
4. Indicator light glows with all infinite switches
in the off position.
NOTE: If the indicator light glows very dimly
with all the switches in the off position. This
problem is caused by a capacitive feed over in
the wiring and can be corrected by connecting
a 100,000 Ohm 1/4 watt resistor in parallel with
the light.
Continuity tests can be performed on the infinite switch
contacts. All tests should be performed with power to
the range disconnected, and wiring removed from the
switch. Set an ohmmeter on R X 1K scale and check
the contacts in the following chart and switch terminal
diagram.
1. Remove the back of the control panel to
expose the switch terminals.
2. With a Voltmeter set for AC on a scale higher
than 240 Volts measure the voltage drop
between terminals L1 and L2. If the meter
reads zero the wiring between the main
terminal block on the range and the switch is
open. If the meter reads line to line voltage
(around 240 VAC) go to step 3.
3. With the switch turned to the high position
measure the voltage drop between terminals
H1 and H2. If the meter reads zero the switch
is defective. If the meter reads line to line
voltage the switch is good. If the range has
standard elements go to step 4. If the range
has a glass smooth go to step 5.
4. Remove the element and measure the
voltage drop between terminals of the terminal
block. If the meter reads zero the terminal
block or the wiring between the switch and the
terminal block is open. If the meter reads line
to line voltage the element is defective.
NOTE: Always inspect the terminal block for
burnt spots that can cause poor connection.
5. Raise the top and locate the two terminals on
the element that the wires from H1 and H2 are
on. Measure the voltage drop between the two
terminals. If the meter reads zero the wires
18
between the switch and the element are open.
If the meter reads line to line voltage the
element is defective.
Element does not cycle:
If the element does not cycle when the switch is set in a
position other than high the switch is defective.
Indicator light does not glow:
If indicator light does not glow when the switch is turned
on, remove the back panel of the backguard, turn the
switch on, and measure the voltage drop between terminals P and L2. If the meter reads zero the switch is
defective. If the meter reads line to line voltage (around
240 VAC) the light or the wiring to the light is defective.
Indicator light glows full brilliance with all top
element switches off:
If indicator light glows full brilliance with all top element
switches off, one or more of the switches are defective.
Disconnect electrical power from the range, and remove
the back panel of the backguard. Disconnect the wire
from the P terminal on all switches but one switch. Reconnect power. If the indicator light glows with the switch
in the off position, the switch is defective. If the indicator
light does not glow, the switch is good. Check each
switch by disconnecting the wires from all the other P
terminals but the switch you are testing.
Dual infinite switch:
providing power to both elements. When the knob is
turned counterclockwise, less than 180 degrees, contacts P2 to 4 and P1 to 2 close providing power to the
inner element. During actual surface element operation, if the control is set to the high position contacts P1
to 2 are locked closed providing continuous power to
the element. In all other settings contacts P1 to 2 will
cycle to maintain the correct heat setting. Contact 4 to
L2 provides power to the surface element indicator light.

1. Both elements do not heat.
2. The outer element does not heat.
3. The inner element does not heat.
4. The switch does not cycle the element off and
on when set to a position other than high.
5. The element operates correctly, but the

element are open. If the meter reads line to
line voltage the element is defective.
Elements do not cycle:
3. With the switch turned clockwise to the HI
position, measure the voltage drop between
terminals 4 and 2. If the meter reads zero the
switch is defective. If the meter reads line to
line voltage measure the voltage drop between
terminals 4A and 2. If the meter reads line to
line voltage the switch is good. Go to step 4.
4. Raise the top and locate the two terminals on
the element with the wires from terminals 4
and 2 are connected. Measure the voltage drop
between these two terminals. If the meter reads
zero the wires between the switch and the
element are open. If the meter reads line to
line voltage the element is defective.
Outer element doesn’t heat, but inner element does:
Checking the system with a Voltmeter, if the outer element does not heat, but the inner element does:
1. Remove the back panel of the backguard to
expose the switch terminals.
2. With the switch turned clockwise to the high
position measure the voltage drop between

If the elements do not cycle when the switch is set in a
position other than high the switch is defective.
Indicator light does not glow:
If indicator light does not glow when the switch is turned
on, remove the back panel of the backguard, turn the
switch on, and measure the voltage drop between terminals 4 and L2. If the meter reads zero the switch is
defective. If the meter reads line to line voltage (around
240VAC) the light or the wiring to the light is defective.
Indicator light glows full brilliance with all top element switches off:
If indicator light glows full brilliance with all top element
switches off, one or more of switches are defective. Disconnect electrical power from the range, and remove the
back panel of the backguard. Disconnect the wire from
terminal 4 on the switches from all but one switch. Reconnect power. If the indicator light glows with the switch
in the off position the switch is defective. If the indicator

Top Element Electronic Control System:
Some electric range models are equipped with electronic
top element controls, these controls are more accurate
and allow for a lower simmer temperature than the
conventional infinite switches.
CAUTION: ON MODELS WITH ELECTRONIC TOP
ELEMENT CONTROLS, LINE 1 IS CONNECTED TO
THE TOP ELEMENTS WHENEVER ELECTRICAL
POWER IS APPLIED TO THE RANGE.
Components of the system:
The top element electronic control system (engineering
named ESEC 5) is made up of five components;
Potentiometers, User Interface Boards, Mother Board,
Electronic Oven Control, and Top Elements.
1. Four potentiometers (variable resistors) - one for each
top element, that the user changes the resistance of
when they turn the knob. Because of the different types
of elements two different potentiometers are used. A
potentiometer with a resistance of 20,000 Ohms is used
with the single element, and a potentiometer with a
resistance of 10,000 Ohms is used with the dual and
bridge elements. The potentiometers are identified by
the color of their base. The 20,000 Ohm potentiometer
has a gray base, the 10,000 potentiometer has a black
base.
the range, with four displays, one for each element that
shows the setting of the control. These work as interfaces
between potentiometers and the mother board.
3. One mother board - main circuit board that has a
transformer to provide low voltage for the system, a
microprocessor that controls and communicates with
the other components of the system, and relays that
control line to line voltage to the top elements.
Potentiometer
2. Two user interface boards (UIB) - one for each side of
User Interface Board
Mother Board
4. A section of the electronic oven control (EOC) communicates with the mother board to allow a lockout
feature on the EOC that prevents the oven or top elements
from operating when activated. It also prevents the top
elements from operating during a self clean cycle.
Electronic Oven Control
5. Top elements - three types are used; a single element,
a dual element, and a bridge element.
21
Bridge
NOTE: On glass top ranges the element may cycle in
the Hi position because of the limiter in the
element that protects the glass.
Expandable
NOTE: In the Lo position a 2500 watt element would
be operating at 25 watts.
Warmer
Small
Top elements
How it operates:
Whenever the range is connected to electrical power,
low voltage from the mother board is applied across the
two outside pins of the potentiometers. The
microprocessor then reads the resistance of the
potentiometers. When the switch knob is depressed
and turned the wipe arm attached to the center pin of the
potentiometer is turned to a resistance range that the
microprocessor can read. The microprocessor then
compares these two readings and displays the setting
in the UIB display window for that element. To prevent
the microprocessor from reading a short or an open, a
fixed resistance is connected to each end of the
adjustable resistor internally. The 10,000 Ohm
potentiometer has a 500 Ohm resistance on each end of
the winding and the 20,000 Ohm potentiometer has a
1,000 Ohm resistance on each end of the winding.
The display is also used as a hot surface indicator on
glass top ranges. The mother board is connected to the
hot surface contacts of the element’s limiter. When the
potentiometer is turned to the off position, and if the hot
surface contacts of the limiter are closed the display will
read HE for hot element until the element cools down
and the hot surface contacts of the limiter opens.
Troubleshooting the ESEC 5:
The ESEC 5 has some self diagnostics built into the
microprocessor to help in troubleshooting the system.
When a failure occurs one of three codes will appear in
all the display windows; F5, F6, or F7.
F5 code:
Indicates a harness, mother board, or user interface
board has failed. The harness is the first thing to check,
unplug the harness, inspect each connection and Ohm
out the harness.
The setting display in the UIB display window will read
from Hi to Lo with numbers in between (see chart below).
The microprocessor operates on a 15 second duty cycle.
When the knob is turned to the HI position the mother
board applies line to line voltage to the element all the
time. In any other setting other than Hi the
microprocessor will cycle line to line voltage to the element
by opening and closing the relay on the mother board for
that element.

Reconnect the harness, if the F5 is still displayed, go to
the right hand user interface board as viewed from the
rear of the range. Notice that the harness to this board
has four wires and five pins. Disconnect the harness
plug from the board. With a voltmeter set to DC volts,
using a scale that will measure up to sixteen volts,
measure the voltage drop between pins one and two.
F7 code:
Indicates a failed potentiometer, a user interface board
or the harness between the mother board and the user
interface boards. To determine which has failed, check
the resistance of the potentiometers. The resistance
between the two outside pins should be within 10% of
the potentiometer value (black 10,000 Ohms, gray 20,000
Ohms). From the center pin to an outside pin the
resistance should vary between 500 and 9500 Ohms on
the black and 1000 and 19,000 Ohms on the gray, as
the shaft is turned.
Pins 1 & 2
If the reading is between 4 VDC and 12 VDC the mother
board is good. One at a time substitute a good user
interface board for the ones in the range. When the F5
code disappears that user interface board is defective. If
the reading is below four or above twelve volts DC replace
the mother board. If the F5 code does not disappear
recheck the harness and replace the user interface
boards one at a time.
F6 code:
Indicates a commnunication failure between the mother
board and the electronic oven control. This failure could
be caused by a defective wire harness between the EOC
and mother board, a faulty mother board, or faulty EOC.
Test the wire harness from the EOC to the mother board
with an ohm meter. If the harness checks good replace
the mother board. If the fault code is still present then
replace the EOC
Potentiometer test
NOTE: When testing from an outside pin to the center
pin the potentiometer must be turned on.
If the potentiometers test good, remove and Ohm out
the harness. If the harness checks good, reinstall the
harness and replace one of the user interface boards
with a new or known good board. Turn one of the top
elements on. If the element operates normal, replace
the user interface board. If the F7 reappears, turn the
top element off, reinstall the board that was replaced
and replace the other user interface board. Turn one of
the top elements on. If the element operates normal
replace that user interface board. If the F7 still appears,
recheck the harness.
Blank display:
If the display remains blank when an element is turned
on, listen to see if you hear a beep when the element is
turned on. If the range beeps, one of the user interface
23
boards or the harness between the mother board and
the user interface boards is defective. Remove and Ohm
out the harness. If the harness checks good, reinstall
the harness and replace one of the user interface board
with a new or known good board. Turn one of the top
elements on. If the element operates normal replace
that user interface board. If the display remain blank,
turn the top element off, reinstall the board that was
replaced and relpace the other user interface board. Turn
one of the top elements on. If the element operates
normal, replace that user interface board. If the display
remains blank, recheck the harness between the mother
board and the user interface boards. If you do not hear
the beep, replace the mother board.

Troubleshooting:
There are four ways a warming zone system with a standard 120 VAC infinite switch can fail:
1. The element does not heat.
2. The switch does not cycle the element off and
on when set to a position other than high.
N
If an element or portion of an element does not heat but
the display shows the correct indication, either the mother
board, the element, or the element wiring is defective.
To determine which is defective:
1. Turn all surface element switches off.
2. Check the wiring diagram on the range to see
which terminal on the mother board is wired to
that element or portion of that element.
3. With a voltmeter measure the voltage drop
between that terminal and neutral on the
mother board. If the meter reads line to neutral
voltage (120 VAC) the mother board is
defective. If the meter reads zero the element
or wiring to the element is defective.
4. Turn the switch to high, raise the cooktop, and
measure the voltage drop across the element.
If the meter reads line to line voltage (240 VAC)
the element is defective. If the meter reads
zero the wiring is bad.
Warm and serve zone:
The warm and serve zone circuit on smooth top ranges
uses a line to neutral (120 VAC) standard infinite switch,
a line to neutral (120 VAC) element with a built-in limiter
to protect the glass, and an indicator light.
3. The element operates correctly, but the
indicator light does not glow.
4. Indicator light glows with all the infinite switches
in the off position.
NOTE: If the indicator light glows very dimly
with the switches in the off position, this is caused
by a capacitive feed over in the wiring and can be
corrected by connecting a 100,000 Ohm 1/4 watt
resistor in parallel with the light.
Element does not heat:
Checking the system with a Voltmeter, if the element
does not heat up:
1. Remove the back panel of the backguard to
expose the switch terminals.
2. With a Voltmeter set for AC on a scale higher
than 120 Volts measure the voltage drop
between terminals L1 and L2. If the meter
reads zero the wiring between the main
terminal block of the range and the switch is
open. If the meter reads line to neutral
voltage (around 120 VAC) go to step 3.
3. With the switch turned on to the high position
measure the voltage drop between terminals
H1 and H2. If the meter reads zero the switch
is defective. If the meter reads line to neutral
voltage the switch is good. Go to step 4.
4. Raise the top and locate the two terminals on
the element with the wires from H1 and H2.
Measure the voltage drop between the two
terminals. If the meter reads zero the wires
between the switch and the element are open.
If the meter reads line to neutral (120 VAC) the
element is defective.
24
Element does not cycle:
If the element does not cycle when the switch is set in a
position other than high the switch is defective.
Indicator light does not glow:
If indicator light does not glow when the switch is turned
on, remove the back panel of the backguard, turn the
switch on, and measure the voltage drop between terminals H1 and neutral. If the meter reads zero the switch
is defective. If the meter reads line to neutral voltage
(around 120 VAC) the light or the wiring to the light is
defective.
Indicator light glows full brilliance with the warm
and serve switch turned off:
If indicator light glows full brilliance with the warm and
serve switch off, the switch is defective.

Bake:
When the bake pad is touched, and a temperature is set
with the up or down arrows, the bake relay on the board
closes. This connects one side of the line to the bake
element. In the tip of the oven sensor is a positive
thermistor that increases in resistance as the oven
temperature increases. The microprocessor reads the
resistance of the oven sensor, and compares it with
programmed temperature set into the control. When the
resistance of the oven sensor indicates temperature in
the oven is about 10 degrees above the programmed
temperature, the microprocessor opens the relay, which
removes power from one side of the element. When
power is removed from the element the oven temperature
begins to lower. As the oven temperature lowers the
resistance of the oven sensor decreases. When the oven
drops to about 10 degrees below the programmed
temperature, the resistance of the sensor tells the
microprocessor to close the bake relay contacts, and
provide power to the bake element once again.
NOTE: Oven controls may have a temperature
swing of more or less than 20 degrees. The
important thing is the average temperature in the
oven. The average temperature in the center of the
oven should be within 10 degrees of the
programmed temperature.
6. Broil on one side until food is browned; turn and cook
on the second side. Note: Always pull the rack out
to the stop position before turning or removing food.
7. When broiling is finished, press Clear Off.
CAUTION: SHOULD AN OVEN FIRE OCCUR,
CLOSE THE OVEN DOOR AND TURN OFF THE
OVEN. IF THE FIRE CONTINUES, USE A FIRE
EXTINGUISHER. DO NOT PUT WATER OR FLOUR
ON THE FIRE. FLOUR MAY BE EXPLOSIVE.

CAUTION: NEVER ATTEMPT TO REMOVE EITHER
Broil:
When the broil pad is touched, and High or Low is set
with the up or down arrows, the broil relay on the board
closes. This connects one side of the line to the broil
element. In the tip of the oven sensor is a positive
thermistor that increases in resistance as the oven
temperature increases. The microprocessor reads the
resistance of the oven sensor, and compares it with a
programmed temperature set into the control. Usually
you do not want the broil element to cycle so the oven
door is opened to the broil stop position. If the door is not
opened the broil element will cycle when the set
temperature is reached.
