How to test warmer zone element part number 326437300 to determine if it needs replacing or if the control switch is the problem
For model number 790.95053310
Hi Dale,
Thank you for your question. Before testing these parts, please unplug the range from the electrical outlet or turn the circuit breaker off. For the burner element, visually inspect it for any signs of bubbling, burning, wear, holes, or damage. If it appears fine, you will need to test it for continuity with a multimeter. Touch each of the terminals one at a time with one probe while holding the other probe to the outside surface of the element. If either terminal shows continuity, it is defective. To test the entire element for continuity, place each of the probes on the terminals, one on each. The exact reading you should receive varies between models, refer to your owner’s manual to determine what yours should be, but if any element has a reading outside of 19 to 115 ohms, it is defective. If you do not receive the correct readings from the tests above or find damage on your element, you will need a replacement surface burner element. For the switch, inspect the wires near the switch for any signs of burning, or overheated wires and terminals. If no issues are found, remove the switch in order to test it for continuity. Using a multimeter on the Rx1 mode, test for continuity by touching the L1 and H1 terminals with the probes. Once you have completed that test, touch the probes to the L2 & H2 terminals. If your test results indicate that there is no continuity between one or both sets of terminals, you will need a replacement infinite switch. If you have any questions, please let us know. We look forward to hearing from you!
