* BAKE AND BROIL UNITS CAN BE ON AT THE SAME TIME.
• BAKE/TIME BAKE – Bake and broil units operate
simultaneously during Preheat. Broil unit is on
approximately 25% of the time during the balance of the
Bake operation, with approximately one minute of dead
time between units.
• CLEAN – Broil unit only on during first 30 minutes or until
oven reaches 750°F. During the balance of the Clean
operation, the oven will use the bake and broil units
simultaneously and separately, with one second of dead
time between units while calling for heat.
ERC FAILURE CODES
Only an F9 code will be displayed to the customer although all codes will be stored in
memory. The oven may stop operating but not give an F code on the
display immediately. F codes are stored in nonvolatile EEPROM memory until
the same fault occurs twice consecutively. After that, the F code will be displayed. F
codes can be recalled by pressing together TIMER, CLOCK and MIN DOWN. While F
codes are displayed, pressing MIN UP and HR DOWN together will clear them. A fault
must exist continuously for several minutes before an F code is stored (F2 and F8 are
1 minute or less).
THERMAL CUTOUT SWITCH
A selfresetting, disctype thermal cutout switch is mounted
to the rear of the oven. The switch will open the L2 leg of
the power to the heating elements in the event of an over
temperature condition. The switch will open when the panel it is
mounted to reaches approximately 284°F and will close as the
panel cools to approximately 254°F. There is no indication to
the customer when the switch opens or closes.

*If oven light is not working, make the following checks:
• Check oven light bulb to verify it works.
• Light comes on when door is opened. Check for 120VAC from J4 7 and J4 5 termi
nals to L1. If 120VAC is not present, press the oven door switch in and out several
times, leaving the oven door open. Recheck for 120VAC from J4 7 and J4 5 termi
nals to L1 with the oven door open. If 120VAC is not present, replace the oven door
switch.
• Close oven door. Check for 120VAC from J4 7 and J4 5 terminals to L1. If 120VAC is
present but the light does not turn on, the light bulb is bad or there is a loose con
nection in the wires harness. If 0 VAC, press Oven Light key on key panel and retry. If
still 0 VAC, check the key panel. If key panel is OK, replace the control. (If you hear a
relay click when the Oven Light key on the control panel is pressed, the key panel is
working.)

MOTORIZED DOOR LOCK
The motorized door lock assembly is located above the oven. The assembly consists of
a lock motor cam and switch assembly, lock hook, mounting plate, door switch, spring
and plunger.
Motorized Door Lock Operation:
The lock motor is en er gized when the control is set for
Clean and Clean Time is selected. The K7 (upper) or K8
(lower) relay contact will close and complete the circuit
that supplies the voltage to the lock motor.
NOTE: To enable proper operation of the door lock, ensure that
the door jamb switch is in “common” to “normally OPEN” (door
closed) position. This enables power to be delivered when the
door lock closes.
NOTE: Display of Control will flash “LOCK” if the door switch
is in the “C” (common) to “NC” (normally CLOSED) (door open)
position.
• The words “LOCK DOOR” will flash on and off in the display
while the lock mo tor is in motion. When the door is locked the words “LOCKED
DOOR” remain il lu mi nat ed in the display.
• CAM – The cam on the motor per forms two functions:
1. Positions the lock hook in the door to prevent opening during Clean op er a tion.
2. Operates the lock switches which tell the control if the door is unlocked or locked
and ready for Clean operation.
NOTE: When door is either being locked or unlocked, both the lock and unlock
switches will be in the open position.

THERMAL SWITCHES
The lower temperature thermal switch, normally closed, is located behind the cool
ing fan and wired in series with the unlock switch on the lock motor thus only active
during nonselfclean operations. The higher temperature thermal switch, normally
closed, is located in the component compartment in front of the cooling fan and wired
in series with the lock switch on the lock motor thus only active during selfclean
operations.
If the thermal switch opens in any mode of operation, the control will go to –F9 fail
ure code. When this condition exists, check the fan operation (look for obstructions),
inspect oven installation (make sure duct areas are not blocked), oven insulation, and
lock circuit
