Wiring diagrams and component testing values.
Main Components: Oven Control Board (Part# WPY310991), Touchpad, Bake Igniter (3.2-3.6 Amps draw), Broil Igniter, Convection Fan Motor, Oven Light, Thermal Fuse (normally closed).
Testing: - Igniter: Measure resistance. Should be 30-110 ohms. Observe for glow when circuit energized. - Thermal Fuse: Check for continuity. Open circuit indicates blown fuse. - Gas Valve Solenoids: Check coil resistance (typically 800-1600 ohms).
Burner pressures, orifice sizes, and leak testing.
CAUTION! Use only factory-specified orifice kits for fuel conversion.
Operation and calibration of electronic controls.
Touchpad Calibration: Enter service mode (press BROIL and WARM for 5 seconds). Follow prompts to calibrate touch sensitivity.
Oven Temperature Calibration: In bake mode, press and hold BAKE for 6 seconds. Use +/- keys to adjust offset (-35°F to +35°F).
Control Lockout: Press and hold LOCK for 3 seconds to enable/disable.
Factory Reset: Disconnect power for 2 minutes to reset control board.
Diagnostic guides for common symptoms.
| Symptom | First Check | Next Steps |
|---|---|---|
| Oven not heating | Verify igniter glow | Check gas supply, valve operation, igniter amp draw. |
| Uneven baking | Check oven calibration | Verify convection fan operation, burner flame pattern. |
| Surface burner won't light | Listen for spark | Check electrode alignment, wiring, switch continuity. |
| Error code on display | Refer to Error Code section | Diagnose specific sensor or component failure. |
| Control panel unresponsive | Check power supply | Test for 120V at outlet. Perform control reset. |
Fault codes displayed on digital readout.
Clearing Codes: Most codes clear automatically when fault is corrected. Disconnect power for 2 minutes to clear persistent codes.
