Safety Precautions

Before servicing, disconnect power at the circuit breaker or fuse box. Allow the range to cool completely. Use proper tools and personal protective equipment (PPE).

Hazard	Precaution
Electrical Shock	Disconnect power before servicing. Verify no voltage present with a multimeter.
High Temperature	Allow oven and cooktop to cool. Wear heat-resistant gloves.
Sharp Edges	Handle panels and parts carefully to avoid cuts.
Heavy Lifting	Use two people to move the range. Use proper lifting technique.
Gas Leaks (if applicable)	Check all connections with a leak detection solution. Ensure proper ventilation.

Installation Instructions

Proper installation is critical for safety and performance.

Location: Place on a level, stable floor against a wall. Ensure adequate clearance from cabinets (30" above cooktop minimum).
Electrical Connection: Connect to a dedicated 240V, 40-amp circuit with proper grounding. Use 8-gauge copper wire.
Anti-Tip Bracket: Secure the anti-tip bracket to the floor/wall as per instructions to prevent tipping.
Leveling: Adjust the leveling legs at the front corners so the range is stable and does not rock.
Final Check: Verify all connections are tight. Restore power and test all functions.

WARNING! Failure to install the anti-tip bracket can result in the range tipping over, causing injury or death.

Component Identification

Key serviceable components and their locations.

Component	Location	Part Number (Example)

Disassembly Procedures

Step-by-step guide for accessing major components.

Control Panel: Remove screws from top trim. Gently lift and tilt forward to access wiring harnesses.
Oven Door: Open door fully. Locate hinge locks on each side. Push locks inward and lift door off.
Cooktop: Remove screws securing cooktop from inside the storage drawer opening. Lift carefully.
Back Panel: Remove screws from rear of range to access wiring and convection fan.
Oven Cavity Liner: Remove broil and bake elements, temperature sensor, and screws around perimeter to remove liner for cleaning or replacement.

CAUTION! Label all wires and connectors before disconnecting. Take pictures for reassembly reference.

Wiring Diagrams & Schematics

Refer to diagrams for electrical troubleshooting. Identify wire colors and connector locations.

Main Diagram Highlights: - L1, L2, N: 240V Line 1, Line 2, Neutral connections. - Control Board: Central hub for touchpad, sensors, and relays. - Element Circuits: Separate circuits for bake, broil, and surface elements. - Sensor Inputs: Oven temperature sensor, door switch.

Note: Always verify continuity and resistance values against specifications in the test procedures section.

Diagnostic Error Codes

The electronic control may display error codes to aid diagnosis.

Code	Description	Likely Cause
F1	Oven Temperature Sensor Fault	Open or shorted sensor circuit.
F2	Oven Over-temperature Fault	Faulty control board or relay.
F3	Control Panel Communication Error	Loose harness or faulty touchpad.
F4	Keypad Stuck Error	Stuck button or moisture behind panel.
F5	Convection Fan Fault	Blocked fan, faulty motor, or wiring.

To clear codes: Power cycle the range by disconnecting it for 2 minutes.

Troubleshooting Guide

Symptom	Possible Cause	Corrective Action
Oven not heating	Faulty bake/broil element, relay, control board, or thermal fuse.	Test element for continuity (20-40 ohms). Check for 240V at element terminals.
Cooktop element not working	Bad element, infinite switch, or wiring.	Swap element with a known-good one. Test switch for continuity in ON position.
Self-clean not starting	Door not locked, faulty latch switch, or control board.	Verify door closes completely. Test door lock switch for continuity.
Inaccurate oven temperature	Faulty temperature sensor or control calibration.	Test sensor resistance (approx. 1100 ohms at room temp). Recalibrate oven per manual.
Display blank/no power	No power supply, tripped breaker, blown thermal fuse, or bad control board.	Check for 240V at terminal block. Test thermal fuse (should have continuity).

Ordering Parts: Use the full model number (795.72053.112) and the specific part number from the list.

Test Procedures

Use a digital multimeter (DMM) for all tests.

Heating Element Test: Disconnect power. Disconnect element wires. Measure resistance across terminals. Should be 20-40 ohms. Infinite = open (bad).
Temperature Sensor Test: Disconnect sensor. Measure resistance between its two terminals. Should be approximately 1100 ohms at 70°F (21°C).
Door Lock Switch Test: With door locked, switch should show continuity. With door unlocked, no continuity.
Thermal Fuse Test: Located near the oven vent. Should show continuity. If open, replace.
Voltage Test: With power ON and range in operation, carefully check for 240V at the bake element terminals when the oven is commanded on.

Maintenance & Cleaning

Regular maintenance ensures longevity and safety.

Cooktop: Clean with ceramic glass cleaner. Do not use abrasive pads or powders.
Oven Interior: Use the self-cleaning cycle for heavy soil. For light cleaning, use a damp cloth with mild detergent.
Door Gasket: Inspect regularly for tears or gaps. Replace if damaged to maintain efficiency.
Storage Drawer: Remove and clean with warm, soapy water.
Ventilation: Keep vents at the rear of the cooktop free of grease and debris.

CAUTION! Never use oven cleaners on a self-cleaning oven liner. Do not line the oven bottom with foil.
