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.
- vi -
Page 7
Cooking Products Service Manual
Original July, 1996 4321891
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.

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.

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.
Cooking Products Service Manual
Original July, 1996 4321891
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.

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 ADIAGRAM B
BakeP3-1 to P2-1 P2-3 to P2-4

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.

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.

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.

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

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.
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.

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:
Certain procedures in this section require
electrical tests or measurements while power
is applied to the range. Exercise extreme
caution at all times. If test points are not
easily accessible, disconnect power, attach
test equipment, and reapply power to test.

The oven temperature is factory-calibrated.
The calibration temperature can be increased
to a maximum 35˚, in 5˚ increments. To change
the calibration temperature,perform the following steps.
1.Touch and hold the BAKE keypad for
4-seconds, and the display will indicate
the present “oven calibration” temperature.
2.Touch the BAKE keypad until the display
increases by 5˚, then remove your finger
from the keypad for 1-second. To con-

NORMAL CODES
The microcomputer contains self-diagnostic
codes that will be displayed on the control
panel whenever a failure occurs when using
tinue increasing the temperature in 5˚
increments, touch and release the keypad in 1-second intervals, until the desired temperature is reached (up to +35˚).
3.To decrease the calibration temperature
from the maximum setting, press and release the BAKE keypad in 1-second intervals. The readings will change to –35˚, and
decrease to 0, or its original temperature
setting. The cycle will then start over.

pressing the CANCEL/OFF keypad. The code
will return if the user attempts to use the range
before the failure has been corrected. All error

2. Disconnect the power for at least 30-seconds and recheck.
1. Use the CANCEL/OFF keypad and verify the failure (if
not displayed).
2. Disconnect the power for at least 30-seconds and recheck.
3. Make sure that keypad cable is plugged in and seated in
connector on back of control.
4. Reapply power and observe for a minimum of 1-minute.
5. If failure remains, replace the control.
1. Measure the sensor value between the connector pins.
You should measure between 1000Ω @32˚F and 2697Ω
@ 900˚F. If the measurement does not correlate to real
temperature, replace the sensor, and reference steps 3
through 5.
Also measure from the sensor connector to the sensor
casing for a possible short.
2. Trace the wires and connectors to the sensor from the
control, then from the sensor back to the control.If all
connections are okay and there is no wire damage,
reference step 3 through 5.
3. Disconnect the power for at least 30-seconds.
4. Reapply power and observe for a minimum of 1-minute.
5. If failure remains, replace the control, and then repeat
step 4.

1. If the door is latched:
a) Disconnect power and check wires and connectors
from the control to the door switch, then from the door
switch to the control. If okay, proceed to step b).
b) Replace the door switch.
c) Reapply power and observe for a minimum of 1-
minute.
2. If the door is not latched:
a) Disconnect power and check wires and connectors
from the control to the latch switch, then from the
latch switch to the control. If okay, proceed to step b).
b) Repeat step a) for the door switch.
3. Measure the door switch. The door open = switch open
small low voltage terminals.
4. Measure the latch switch. Unlatch = switch open. CAU-
TION: The oven light contacts are closed.
5. If corrections are made, reconnect the control and varify
the operation.
6. If the failure remains, replace the control.
