Illustration Component Test Procedure Results
Oven light socket
(A-15 bulb shape)
Measure voltage at oven light ................
Remove one wire from receptacle and
test resistance of terminals ....................
120 VAC, see wiring diagram for terminal
identification.
Continuity with bulb inserted.
If voltage is not present at oven light, check
wiring or light switches.
Indicator lights Measure voltage at indicator light ..........
If voltage is present and light does not
work, replace light.
If voltage is not present at indicator light,
check wiring.
