Mike for Model Number 911.6424190 Kenmore I have this Kenmore range in a rental unit. The tenants have moved out and both of the 8” burners do not work. I had to replace one of the burners and the receptacle. After that was fixed I found that neither one of the 8” burners heat up at all. The light comes on but no heat. I was wondering if you could tell me how to test the infinite switches to ensure this is my problem. I found some information on testing continuity between P and L1, L1 and H1 and L2 and H2. Both switches had an open on one of these tests with them turned to the on position. Does this mean both switches are bad and need replaced? (The opens were in different places on the two switches if that means anything.)
Answer Mike, unplug the range, set your multimeter for continuity, pull one wire off of the L1 to H1 circuit and turn the infinite switch to the on position, you should read continuity. Do the same for the L2 to H2 side of the switch. If either of these checks reveal an open circuit, (no continuity) replace the switch. L1 tp P is how the surface indicator light is powered when the switch is turned to the on position. Part number is WB23M24 Read More... Answered by AppliancePartsPros.com | Thursday, May 16, 2019
