OVEN DOOR LOCK SYSTEM The oven door lock system uses a solenoid-activated, push-push mechanism. The oven door will lock as soon as it is closed and the CLEAN function is programmed into the Electronic Oven Control (EOC). When the solenoid is activated, the plunger extends, and the actuator rod moves the latch to lock the door. ACTUATOR ROD LATCH IS UP AND DOOR IS LOCKED SOLENOID PLUNGER IS EXTENDED After the CLEAN cycle is completed and the temperature inside the oven cavity falls below 500˚F,

IGNITION SYSTEM OPERATION OHMS LAW: I = E/R AMPS = VOLTAGE DIVIDED BY RESISTANCE A cold ignitor has a high resistance. When the oven control relay closes— OHMS L1 N LO HI OVEN CONTROL RELAY BIMETAL COIL IGNITOR Current flows through the ignitor and the bimetal coil. OHMS L1 N LO HI OVEN CONTROL BIMETAL RELAY COIL IGNITOR High ignitor resistance causes low current flow through the bimetal coil. As the ignitor heats up, its resistance decreases.

Lower ignitor resistance increases the current flow through the bimetal coil. When the ignitor is fully heated, its resistance is low. Low resistance causes maximum current to flow through the bimetal coil (2.5 to 3.6 amps).
