KitchenAid KGRT607 - Door Lock Solenoid & Latch Switch

3-5
THE DOOR LOCK SOLENOID & DOOR LATCH SWITCH
During the self-clean cycle, the control board
sends a 120-volt pulse to the solenoid wind-
ings, which pulls the plunger in, and moves
the latch actuator rod to lock the oven door.
The movement of the rod also actuates the
door latch switch and closes it. When the self-
clean cycle is over, the control board sends a
120-volt pulse to the solenoid, the plunger is
pushed out, the latch actuator rod releases the
door, and the door latch switch opens.
The door lock solenoid operates on a 120-volt
pulse from the electronic control board. When
the door is in the unlocked position, the plunger
is extended. When the door latch switch is
open, the control senses that the door is un-
locked. When the door latch switch closes, the
control senses that the door is locked. The door
latch switch, mounted on the solenoid bracket,
is in the N.O. (normally-open) position.
