J for Model Number Kenmore 790.9642340c Left front burner does not work. Unplugged infinity switch L1 and L2. Checked continuity across L1/L2 with switch in off position, open. When testing L1/l2 with switch on p3wer select 5 have about 40 ohms. Have 210 across H1/H2, and across the terminals on the heater element. Want to test simmer control board, what steps should I take?
Answer J, The L1 to L2 on the infinite switch would not have continuity in the on position or in the off position. There should be continuity in the on the position from L1 to P1, L1 to H1, and L2 to H2. If there is continuity then the switch should be good. If testing voltage then there will be 240 Vac from L1 to L2 and from H1 to H2 in the on position. If there is not power at L1 to L2 then check wiring issue and if there is power from L1 to L2 and no power H1 to H2 then the switch would be faulty. There is no simmer control board for the infinite switch. Read More... Answered by AppliancePartsPros.com | Monday, May 11, 2020
