Testing Range Elements

TESTING THE PLUG-IN SURFACE ELEMENT

1. Set the ohmmeter to the R x 1 scale. 2. With the element removed, touch the meter leads to ends of the prongs.

The meter should indicate the following (approximate ±20%) resistance for the indicated element:

8 ” Element = 18 – 20 Ω
6 ” Element = 30 – 33 Ω

TESTING AN OVEN TEMPERATURE SENSOR

1. Set the ohmmeter to the R x 10 scale.

2. Touch the meter leads to the plug pins (see the illustration).

The meter should indicate approximately 1100 Ω at 75 ˚F. For resistances at other temperatures, refer to the chart below.

NOTE: The readings are approximate.
