WARNING
To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, injury to persons, or damage when using the range, follow these basic precautions:
1. Read all instructions before using the range.
2. Install or locate the range only in accor­dance with the provided installation in­structions. It is recommended that the range be installed by a qualified installer. The range must be properly connected to the correct gas supply and checked for leaks. The range must also be properly connected to a grounded electrical sup­ply.
3. Gas fuels and combustion can result in potential exposure to chemicals known to cause cancer or reproductive harm. For example, benzene is a chemical which is a part of the gas supplied to the range. It is consumed in the flame during combus­tion. However, exposure to a small amount of benzene is possible if a gas leak oc­curs. Formaldehyde and soot are by-prod­ucts of incomplete combustion. Properly adjusted burners with a bluish rather than a yellow flame will minimize incomplete combustion.
4. Do not use the range for heating the room. Persons could be burned or injured, or a fire could start.
5. Do not leave children alone or unattended in area where the range is in use. They should never be allowed to sit or stand on any part of the range. They could be burned or injured.
6. Do not wear loose or hanging garments when using the range. Clothing could ig­nite if it touches a surface burner and you could be burned.
7. Do not repair or replace any part of the range unless specifically recommended in this manual. All other servicing should be referred to a qualified technician.
8. Do not operate the range if it is not work­ing properly, or if it has been damaged or dropped.
9. Know where your main gas shut off valve is located.
10. Clean your range regularly. See “Care and Cleaning” instructions that are in­cluded with the range.
11. Use the range only for its intended use as described in this manual.
12. Do not store flammable materials on or near the range. They could explode or burn.
13. Do not use water on grease fires. Never pick up a flaming pan. Smother flaming pan on range by covering with a well­fitting lid, cookie sheet or flat tray. Flam­ing grease outside of pan can be extin­guished with baking soda, or if available, a multipurpose dry chemical or foam-type extinguisher.
14. Use only dry potholders. Moist or damp potholders on hot surfaces may result in burns from steam. Do not let potholder touch an open flame. Do not use a towel or bulky cloth for a potholder. It could catch on fire.
15. Make sure the utensils you use are large enough to contain food and avoid boilovers and spillovers. Heavy splattering or spillovers left on a range can ignite and burn you. Pan size is especially important in deep fat frying.
16. Never leave burners unattended at high flame settings. A boilover could result and cause smoking and greasy spillovers that may ignite.

17. Grease is flammable and should be handled carefully. Let fat cool before at­tempting to handle it. Do not allow grease to collect around range or in vents. Wipe spillovers immediately.
18. Check to be sure glass cooking utensils are safe for use on the range. Only certain types of glass, glass-ceramic, earthen­ware or other glazed utensils are suitable for ranges. Other types may break due to the sudden change in temperature.
19. Turn pan handles inward, but not over other burners. This will help reduce the chance of burns, igniting of flammable materials, and spills due to bumping the pan.
20. Do not heat unopened containers. They could explode. The hot contents could cause burns and container particles could cause injury.
21. Do not use decorative covers or trivets over the surface burners.
22. Do not store things children might want above the range. Children could be burned or injured while climbing on range.
23. Do not touch hot burners or areas near burners. Areas near burners become hot enough to cause burns. During use, do not touch or let clothing or other flam­mable materials contact burners, or ar­eas near burners.
24. Do not block the ventilation.
25. Never use a match or other flame to look for a gas leak. Explosion and injury could result.
26. Make sure the burners are off when you are finished, and when you are not watch­ing.
27. Be sure all range parts are cool before cleaning.

CHECKING THE MAINTOP BURNER OPERATION
1. Install the maintop burner caps on the burn­ers.
2. If not already done, turn on the gas and electrical supplies to the range.
3. Push and turn each of the maintop burner knobs to the LITE position. You should hear a snapping sound as the burner ignitors spark. The gas at each burner should ignite after approximately 4-seconds. When this occurs, turn the knob to the HI setting. NOTE: Do not leave the knob in the LITE position after the burner lights, otherwise the ignitors will con­tinue to spark.
4. Check the maintop burners for the proper flame. The small inner cone should have a very distinct blue flame that is approximately
5
/8" long. The outer cone will not be as distinct as the inner cone. If the flame is noisy or is blowing, there is too much air during combus­tion. If the flame is soft and not high enough, there is not enough air. If either of these conditions occur, adjust the air shutters, as shown on the next page.
LO F LAME SETTING ADJUSTMENT (SOME MODELS)
Some gas ranges have a low flame burner adjust­ment, located inside the shaft of each gas valve (see the illustration below). To adjust the flame:
1. Turn the gas valve knob to its LOW, or SIM­MER setting, and remove the control knob.
2. Adjust the screw inside the gas valve stem so that the flame size is as small as possible without going out when the valve is turned quickly from the LITE position to WARM posi­tion.
3. Turn off the burners and reinstall the knob.
5. Turn the maintop burners off.

THEORY OF OPERATION
THE COOKTOP BURNERS
Refer to the illustration below while you read this description.
When a surface burner control knob is turned to the “lite” position, the gas valve r opens, and gas from the pressure regulator s flows into the manifold t, and through the open valve. As gas passes through the valve and its orifice, it is directed into the venturi u, where it mixes with air to create the proper mixture necessary for combustion.
At the same time, line voltage is applied through the ignitor switch v to the ignitor module w, which produces high-voltage pulses to all of the burner ignitors x. The pulses cause a spark y to occur between the burner ignitor and the grounded burner cap z, which ignites the gas and air mixture at the burner head, and produces a flame.

IGNITOR SYSTEM OVERVIEW
This gas range uses two Carborundum igni­tors to provide a source for igniting gas from the bake and broil burners. Norton ignitors were previously used in the Whirlpool gas ranges, and both of these ignitors operate the same way. The only differences are in the design (see the illustrations), and in the cur­rent ratings.
Carborundum Ignitor
2.5 - 3.0 Amps
IGNITOR SYSTEM OPERATION
The oven ignitor system in these Whirlpool gas ranges has the following three main com­ponents, and is wired in a series-parallel cir­cuit (see the illustration below):
1. An Electronic Oven Control (EOC).
2. Two Carborundum Ignitors (Bake &
Broil).
3. Dual Gas Safety Valve.

BAKE IGNITOR
A Carborundum ignitor uses a round design, and limits the operating current flow to be­tween 2.5 and 3.0 amperes.
A Norton ignitor uses a rectangular design, and limits the operating current flow to be­tween 3.2 and 3.6 amperes.
Norton Ignitor
3.2 - 3.6 Amps
All of the self-clean gas ranges use these components. When the EOC is set to the bake or broil mode and a temperature is selected, the relay on the EOC closes, and provides power to the ignitor. With power applied, cur­rent flows through the ignitor circuit, and the ignitor begins to heat and glow.

Page 2-3
As the ignitor heats up and its electrical resis­tance decreases, current flow increases through the bimetal arm heater inside the dual gas safety valve. When the ignitor becomes hot enough and its electrical resistance low enough, sufficient current is provided (2.5 to
3.0 amps) through the bimetal arm heater, to cause the arm to flex. This opens the gas valve and allows gas to flow to the burner, where the heat from the ignitor (approximately 2500˚F) ignites it, and produces a flame.

The ignitor will remain energized at all times when the burner is lit. As soon as the oven reaches its selected temperature, the EOC relay opens, and power is removed from the circuit. Once this occurs, the ignitor cools, and the bimetal arm flexes and closes the gas safety valve, turning off the gas to the burner and extinguishing the flame.

TROUBLESHOOTING THE IGNITOR SYSTEM
Refer to the illustration below while you read the following troubleshooting information.
Ignitor Does Not Glow
Diagram B—Broil:
With the EOC programmed for the Broil mode, you should obtain a read­ing of 120 VAC between P2-1 and Neutral.
1. Disconnect or remove the ignitor and mea­sure its resistance. Cold resistance should be between 50 and 150 Ohms. (The value of the resistance is not important as long as the ignitor is not open or shorted).
2. Check the internal fuses, switches, and 120 VAC power supply.
3. If power is working:
a) Disconnect the oven power and re-
move wires at “B” and “C”.
1. Check continuity between wire “B” and terminal “C”. If continuity is present, go to Step 4.
b) If continuity is NOT present, remove
wire at “D” and probe terminals “D” and “C” for continuity. If NO continu­ity, replace the bimetal valve.
c) If continuity is present at “D” and “C”,
probe wires “B” and “D”. If NO continu­ity, replace the ignitor.
4. Check for
120 VAC
at the following loca­tions, and the relay(s) on the Electronic Oven Control you are servicing. Also re­fer to the wiring diagrams on the next page.
PROGRAM DIAGRAM A DIAGRAM B
Bake P3-1 to P2-1 P2-3 to P2-4 Broil P3-1 to P2-1 P2-2 to P2-1
Ignitor Glows With No Ignition
1. Check that gas is turned on to the range.
2. Turn the power on and set the thermostat to 350˚F.
3. Check the ampere draw at the bimetal valve.
a) Using a wraparound ammeter, test one
leg for ampere draw at "D" or "C".
1. NORTON (flat) Ignitor - 3.2 to 3.6 amps.
2. CARBORUNDUM (round) Ignitor-
2.5 to 3.0 amps.
If the ampere draw is NOT within the proper range, replace the ignitor.
b) If the correct ampere draw is present,
replace the valve.
For safety purposes, when measuring the current flow through the ignitor circuit, shut off the main, or the oven gas shut-off valve.
NOTE: A simple circuit is shown. The actual circuit may include fuses, clock, selector switch, or other items.

When the preceding events occur, the BAKE relay energizes, and its contacts close. This provides an electrical circuit through the BAKE ignitor and the BAKE valve to the neutral side of the line*.
As electrical current flows through the BAKE ignitor, it heats up. When the BAKE valve opens, gas flows through the burner, and the hot ignitor ignites the gas and air mixture, and a flame is produced.

THE BROIL FUNCTION
Refer to the illustrations on pages 2-10 and 2-11 while you read this description.
When the unit is plugged in and line voltage is applied to the electronic oven control, the following keyboard actions are used to set the BROIL function:
• The clock is set to the time-of-day.
• The CUSTOM BROIL keypad is se-
lected.

When the preceding events occur, the BROIL relay energizes, and its contacts close. This provides an electrical circuit through the BROIL ignitor and the BROIL valve to the neutral side of the line*.
As electrical current flows through the BROIL ignitor, it heats up. When the BROIL valve opens, gas flows through the burner, and the hot ignitor ignites the gas and air mixture, and a flame is produced.

THE CLEAN FUNCTION
Refer to the illustrations on pages 2-12 and 2-13 while you read this description.
When the unit is plugged in and line voltage is applied to the electronic oven control, the following keyboard actions are used to set the oven CLEAN function:
• The CLEAN function is selected.
• The desired cleaning time is selected.
When the preceding events occur, the BAKE relay energizes, and its contacts close. This provides an electrical circuit through the BAKE ignitor and the BAKE valve to the neutral side of the line.

Because the oven reaches extremely hot tem­peratures, the oven door is latched during the CLEAN cycle, and remains latched until the oven has cooled to a safe temperature.
The door latching operation occurs when the LATCH SOLENOID relay closes, and electri­cal current flows through the LATCH SOLE­NOID.
After the CLEAN cycle has been completed, the door latch will release when the oven temperature drops below 400˚F.

COMPONENT DESCRIPTION & TESTING
TROUBLESHOOTING
PRESSURE REGULATOR Test Procedure
Electrical Shock Hazard
Disconnect from electrical supply before ser­vicing unit.
Failure to do so could result in death or electrical shock.
Description
The pressure regulator is a mechanical device that reduces the higher incoming gas pres­sure to a lower outgoing pressure, and main­tains a steady, even flow of gas.
The pressure regulator has one outlet that is connected directly to the gas safety valve. The inlet has a manual shutoff valve so that the gas to the safety valve can be turned off.
The common causes of pressure regulator failure are:
a) Ruptured diaphragm. b) Broken or weak valve. c) Accumulated debris around the valve
seat.
d) Plugged vent.
The pressure regulator is normally replaced rather than serviced, since it has few replace­able or serviceable parts, and is a relatively inexpensive device.
Occasionally it may be necessary to adjust the outgoing pressure of the pressure regulator. This is done by adjusting the tension spring of the regulator. A gas pressure test device, called a manometer, is used to monitor the outgoing pressure during adjustment.
To test the pressure regulator, perform the following steps:
1. Attach one side of a manometer to a gas source.
2. Turn on the gas and allow the pressure to move the water column. When the water column has stopped, the gas pressure can be determined from the scale. The reading should be as follows:
Natural Gas:
Minimum pressure = 5-inches WCP Maximum pressure = 14-inches WCP
L.P. Gas:
Minimum pressure = 11-inches WCP Maximum pressure = 14-inches WCP
If the reading is not within the range shown, the pressure regulator is defective and should be replaced.

DUAL GAS SAFETY VALVE
WARNING
Description
The purpose of the gas safety valve is to control gas to the bake and broil burners.
The dual gas safety valve has one gas input and two gas outlets, one for the bake burner, and one for the broil burner. It uses two iden­tical electrically-operated devices, one for each outlet, to control the gas flow. The devices are made of an electric heater coil wrapped around a bimetal strip. One end of the bimetal is riveted to the plate of the valve, and the other end has a rubber seal attached to it that cov­ers a gas outlet. At room temperature, the spring force of the bimetal presses the rubber seal against the gas outlet. When current flows through the heater, heat is applied to the bimetal strip. The amount of heat necessary to warp the bimetal enough to open the valve, requires a minimum of 3.2 amps of current flow in the circuit. The reason the valve is designed not to open below 3.2 amps, is to insure that the temperature of the oven igniter is above 1800˚ F before the valve opens. Only one burner in the oven may be in operation at one time.
Test Procedure
Electrical Shock Hazard
Disconnect from electrical supply before ser­vicing unit.
Failure to do so could result in death or electrical shock.
1. Broil burner operates, but the bake burner will not come on.
a) Place the oven in the BAKE mode, set
the oven thermostat to 350 degrees, and observe the bake igniter. If the igniter glows, go to step c. If the igniter does not glow, go to step b.
b) Disconnect power, remove the wires
from the bake side of the gas safety valve, and connect an ohmmeter across the terminals of the gas safety valve. If the meter reads approximately 1 Ω , the problem is in another compo- nent of the bake circuit. If the meter reads infinity, replace the gas safety valve.
c) Connect an ampmeter to the bake cir-
cuit. If the meter reads less than 3.2 amps, replace the bake igniter. If the meter reads over 3.2 amps, replace the gas safety valve.

Page 4-3
4321891
2. Bake burner operates, but the broil burner will not come on.
a) Place the oven in the BROIL mode,
set the oven thermostat to 350˚, and observe the broil igniter. If the igniter glows, go to step c. If the igniter does not glow, go to step b.
b) Disconnect power from the range, re-
move the wires from the broil side of the gas safety valve, and connect an ohmmeter across the terminals of the safety valve. If the meter reads ap­proximately 1 Ω, the problem is in another component of the broil circuit. If the meter reads infinity, replace the gas safety valve.
c) Connect an ampmeter to the broil cir-
cuit. If the meter reads less than 3.2 amps, replace the broil igniter. If the meter reads over 3.2 amps, replace the gas safety valve.
3. The bake and broil burners will not oper­ate.
a) Place the oven in the BAKE mode, set
the oven thermostat to 350˚, and ob­serve the bake igniter. Place the oven in the BROIL mode, and observe the broil ignitor.
b) Disconnect power from the range and
remove the wires from both sides of the gas safety valve. Check each side of the valve with an ohmmeter. If the meter reads approximately 1 Ω on each side of the gas safety valve, the prob­lem is in another component. If the meter reads infinity on either side of the valve, replace the valve.
4. Bake burner will not turn off.
a) Observe the bake igniter. If the igniter
is glowing, check the selector switch, the thermostat, and the electrical po­larity of AC receptacle for the power cord. If the igniter is not glowing, re­place the gas safety valve.
5. Broil burner will not turn off.
a) Observe the broil igniter. If the igniter
is glowing, check the selector switch, the thermostat, and the electrical po­larity of AC receptacle for the power cord. If the igniter is not glowing, re­place the gas safety valve.

Description
The top burner gas valves control the gas flow to the top burners. The valve is a barrel and core, grease sealed, locking type valve. Be­fore the stem can be turned, it must be pushed in to unlock the valve. The valve is made up of a hollow core, pressed into the barrel of the valve by a spring, and sealed with grease. Gas flows from the manifold pipe into the rear of the valve and enters into the hollow core. The core has one large and two small holes in its side. When the stem of the valve is rotated, the core rotates with it. As the core is rotated, gas is allowed to flow from the large hole into the mixer elbow.
When the core is rotated 90-angular degrees, the large hole in the core matches the hole in the barrel allowing the maximum amount of gas to flow. When the core is rotated past 90˚, the gas flow is reduced. When the core is rotated the full 210˚, the two small holes are aligned with the hole in the barrel, and the only path for gas to flow from the core, is through the two small holes. The amount of gas that flows through the two small holes, called the minimum flame, is controlled by an adjust­ment screw, located in the center of the valve stem. The adjustment of the minimum flame should be made at the time the range is in­stalled.

Test Procedure
Electrical Shock Hazard
Disconnect from electrical supply before ser­vicing unit.
Failure to do so could result in death or electrical shock.
1. Gas leak at the valve.
a) Check to see if either the knob or the
valve stem is rubbing the control panel. If so, align the manifold pipe before replacing the valve. If the alignment is good, replace the valve.
Note: Any type of side pressure on the valve stem will cause the valve to leak.
2. The valve stem is hard to turn, or cannot be turned.
a) Check to see if the control panel is
preventing the stem from being pushed in. If so, adjust the manifold pipe. If not, replace the valve.
3. Valve lock release has failed.
a) Replace the valve.
4. Valve is not greased.
a) Replace the valve.
5. Minimum flame too high.
a) Make a minimum flame adjustment.
6. Burner flame goes out when valve stem is fully rotated.
a) Make a minimum flame adjustment.

Maximum Operating Temperature Not To Exceed 2650˚F @ 115 ±1 VAC @ 75˚F ±10˚ Ambient.
Description
The purpose of the oven burner igniters is to ignite the gas at the bake or broiler burner.
The silicon carbide oven igniter material pro­vides the temperature needed to safely ignite the oven burner. When electrical power is applied to the silicon carbide, the temperature of the material increases by two, and the resis­tance of the material decreases. By placing a current-sensitive safety valve electrically in series with the oven igniter, the safety valve opens when the igniter goes above a certain temperature. This combination used in the oven circuit is designed to have the safety valve open when the oven igniter is at, or above, 1800˚ F. The current in the circuit is
3.2 amps.
Electrical Shock Hazard
Disconnect from electrical supply before ser­vicing unit.
Failure to do so could result in death or electrical shock.
1. Igniter does not glow.
a) Turn the gas off and pull the range
away from the wall.
b) Disconnect the oven igniter quick-dis-
connect from the main harness con­nector.
c) Connect an ohmmeter across the ter-
minals of the igniter plug. If the meter reads less than 1000 Ω, check the other components in the oven circuit for an open. If the meter reads over 1000 Ω, replace the igniter.
2. Oven igniter glows, but the gas safety valve does not open.
a) Turn the gas off and pull the range
away from the wall.
b) Disconnect the oven igniter quick-dis-
connect from the main harness con­nector.
c) Connect an ampmeter across the ter-
minals of the igniter plug. If the meter reads 3.2 amps or higher, check the gas pressure for gas at the safety valve, and the safety valve itself.
If the meter reads less than 3.2 amps, and the line voltage is over 100-volts AC, replace the igniter.
If the voltage and current is normal, check the output of the pressure regu­lator. If the pressure drops and bounces back more than .2 inch, re­place the regulator.

Test Procedure
WARNING
Electrical Shock Hazard
Disconnect from electrical supply before ser­vicing unit.
Failure to do so could result in death or electrical shock.
If the oven light does not work:
1. Remove the oven light bulb and test it for continuity. If the meter reads infinity, the bulb is defective. If the meter shows con­tinuity, reinstall the light bulb, and go to the next step.
2. Disconnect power from the range, and check the automatic oven light switch (and the manual light switch, if one is installed) for continuity with the switch contacts closed. Also make sure that none of the wire terminals are loose or shorted to the chassis.
3. Reconnect power to the range and touch the AC voltmeter leads to one of the light switch terminals and the neutral side of the line. If the meter reads zero, the wire from the terminal block of the switch is open. If the meter reads 120-volts AC, go to the next step.
4. Turn the light switch on and touch the AC voltmeter leads to the other light switch terminal and the neutral side of the line. If the meter reads zero, the switch is open. If the meter reads 120-volts AC, go to the next step.
5. Disconnect power from the range, and remove the rear panel.
6. Reconnect power to the range and touch the AC voltmeter leads to the red lead at the light socket terminals and neutral side of the line. If the meter reads zero, the wire from the light switch to the socket is open. If the meter reads 120-volts AC, go to the next step.
7. Touch the AC voltmeter leads to the white lead at the light socket terminals and neutral side of the line. If the meter reads zero, the socket is defective. If the meter reads 120-volts AC, the neutral line is open.

DOOR LATCH ASSEMBLY
Description
The purpose of the door latch is to lock the oven door during the self-clean cycle. The door latch assembly consists of a solenoid and a switch.
The latch assembly prevents the oven door from being opened during the self-clean cycle, when the oven temperature is above 600˚F.
The door latch solenoid operates on a 120-volt dc pulse from the oven control. When the door is in the unlocked position, the solenoid plunger is extended. When the latch sensing switch is open, the control senses that the door is un­locked. When the latch sensing switch closes, the oven control senses that the door is locked. The latch sensing switch, mounted on the solenoid bracket, is in the N.O. (normally­open) position. During the self-clean cycle, the oven control sends a 120-volt dc pulse to the solenoid windings, which pulls the plunger in, and moves the latch actuator rod to lock the oven door. The movement of the rod also activates the latch sensing switch and closes it. When the self-clean cycle is over, and the oven temperature reaches approximately 600˚, the oven control sends a 120-volt dc pulse to the solenoid, the plunger is pushed out, the latch actuator rod releases the door and un­locks it, and the sensing switch opens. There are no adjustments for the latch.
Test Procedure
Electrical Shock Hazard
Disconnect from electrical supply before ser­vicing unit.
Failure to do so could result in death or electrical shock.
Door Latch Solenoid
To test the solenoid windings, perform the following steps:
1. Use an ohmmeter and set the range switch to R x 1.
2. With no power applied, remove the wire from either solenoid terminal.
3. Touch the leads of the ohmmeter to the terminals of the solenoid. You should ob­tain a reading of between 45 Ω and 65Ω.
If the reading is not within the range shown, the solenoid is defective and should be re­placed.

2-WIRE
SENSOR
CONNECTOR
Description
The operation of the Bake, Broil, and Self­Clean cycles is controlled by the oven control and the oven temperature sensor. The oven temperature sensor is a “Resistance Tem­perature Detector” (RTD), and is composed of a stainless steel tube with a thin film of plati­num at the end. It is located at the upper left rear corner of the oven cavity. The RTD is a nonadjustable assembly, but may be checked at room temperature, or at 350˚F. A sensor resistance of less than 550 ohms is regarded as a shorted sensor, and a resistance greater than 3000 ohms is regarded as an open sen­sor. When the oven control senses a resis­tance of less than 550 ohms, and greater than 3000 ohms, the bake and broil functions will be turned off.
Failure to do so could result in death or electrical shock.
To test the oven temperature sensor, perform the following steps:
1. Use an ohmmeter and set the range switch to R x 10.
2. With no power applied, touch the leads of the ohmmeter to the connector pins of the sensor (you do not have to separate the connectors). Depending upon the oven temperature, you should obtain the corre­sponding reading:
Temperature (˚F) Resistance (Ω)
32 ± 1.9 1000 ± 4.0 75 ± 2.5 1091 ± 5.3 250 ± 4.4 1453 ± 8.9 350 ± 5.4 1654 ± 10.8 450 ± 6.9 1853 ± 13.5 550 ± 8.2 2047 ± 15.8 650 ± 8.6 2237 ± 18.5 900 ± 13.6 2697 ± 24.4
NOTE: If the readings vary more than 25˚F from the selected setting, the oven control should be calibrated, as described on page 4-13.
