Answer

Hello Kevin. You will need to test the door switch WP3406107 and the high limit W11050897. Both should read closed for continuity. The door switch will only read closed with the lever pressed in. If either is open, you will need to replace that part. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3. Here is a link on how to use a multi-meter. Hope this helps. http://forum.appliancepartspros.com/oven-repair-including-ranges-cooktops/4810-how-check-continuity-ohmmeter.html
