Safety Precautions

Before servicing, disconnect power at circuit breaker or fuse box. Allow unit to cool completely. Use insulated tools. Verify no voltage present at terminals before proceeding.

HazardPrecaution
Electrical ShockDisconnect power supply; verify with voltmeter.
High TemperatureAllow oven and cooktop to cool before handling components.
Sharp EdgesWear cut-resistant gloves during disassembly.
Gas Leak (if applicable)Check connections with soap solution; no open flames.
Heavy PartsUse assistance or proper lifting equipment.

Installation Instructions

Ensure installation area meets electrical and spacing requirements.

  1. Position range: Ensure level floor; clear rear wall and cabinets.
  2. Electrical connection: Connect 4-wire cord (L1, L2, N, G) to terminal block per diagram.
  3. Anti-tip bracket: Secure to floor or wall per included instructions.
  4. Test operation: Verify all burners, oven functions, and displays work correctly.

WARNING! Improper installation can cause fire, electric shock, or injury. Follow all local codes.

Control Panel Overview

Primary controls located on backsplash. Touchpad includes: Power, Oven Mode (Bake, Broil, Convection), Temperature, Timer, Clock, Self-Clean, Lock, Delay Start.

Indicator Lights: Heating Element On, Oven Preheated, Clean, Lock.

Warming Drawer Control: Separate knob for temperature settings (Low, Medium, High, Off).

Disassembly Procedures

Steps to access internal components. Always disconnect power first.

  1. Remove control panel: Release clips at top, tilt forward, disconnect wiring harnesses.
  2. Remove cooktop: Lift front edge, support, disconnect element wiring and sensor plugs.
  3. Access oven cavity: Remove door (lift off hinges), then inner panels and insulation.
  4. Remove rear panel: Access bake/broil elements, convection fan, temperature sensor.
  5. Remove lower panel: Access wiring harness, main control board, terminal block.

CAUTION! Label all wires and take photos during disassembly for reassembly reference.

Electrical System & Wiring Diagrams

Refer to diagrams for wire colors, connections, and component locations.

Main Components: Electronic Oven Control (EOC) Board, User Interface Board, Bake Element (3400W), Broil Element (2600W), Convection Fan Motor, Oven Temperature Sensor, Cooktop Elements, Thermal Fuse, Door Lock Motor (for self-clean).

Wiring Diagram Reference: Sheet 1 of 3 (Power Distribution), Sheet 2 of 3 (Control Circuits), Sheet 3 of 3 (Sensor & Display).

Component Testing & Diagnostics

Use multimeter to test components for continuity and proper resistance.

ComponentTest ProcedureExpected Result
Bake/Broil ElementCheck continuity between terminals15-25 ohms (approx.)
Oven Temperature SensorMeasure resistance at room temp (77°F/25°C)1100 ohms (±10%)
Convection Fan MotorCheck for continuity in windingsContinuity present
Door Lock SwitchCheck continuity in locked/unlocked statesChanges state with lock position
Thermal FuseCheck continuityContinuity (closed circuit)

Troubleshooting Flowcharts

Follow systematic approach to diagnose common issues.

  1. Oven not heating: Check power supply → Test bake/broil elements → Test temperature sensor → Check EOC board output.
  2. Control panel unresponsive: Check circuit breaker → Test voltage to control board → Inspect touchpad connections → Replace UI board if needed.
  3. Self-clean not starting: Verify door locks properly → Check door lock switch and motor → Verify clean cycle selection → Check thermal fuse.
  4. Error codes displayed: Refer to Error Code Definitions section.

Error Code Definitions

Fault codes displayed on control panel indicate specific issues.

CodeMeaningLikely Cause
F1Oven Temperature Sensor FaultOpen/short circuit in sensor or wiring
F2Oven Too HotFaulty relay on EOC, stuck heating element
F3/F4Door Lock FaultLock motor, switch, or wiring issue
F7Control Panel Communication ErrorWiring harness, UI board, or EOC board fault
F9Memory ErrorEOC board needs reset or replacement

Reassembly & Final Check

After repair, reassemble in reverse order of disassembly.

  1. Verify all components are properly seated and connected.
  2. Ensure no wires are pinched or near hot surfaces.
  3. Reinstall panels and secure all screws.
  4. Reconnect power at breaker.
  5. Perform operational test: Verify all cooktop elements heat, oven reaches set temperature, convection fan operates, self-clean door lock engages, control panel responds correctly.
  6. Clear any error codes from memory.

Final Verification: Range must operate safely per manufacturer specifications. Provide customer with safety and operation overview.
