Patrick for Model Number C221 Hello I recently bought a replacement switch W11120795 and wired it incorrectly at first and the breaker popped. When I wired it correctly the element and light stay on and will not turn off. I checked the ohm and when the switch is off its OL for H1 & L1, H2 & L2 and H1 & P. When the switch is on its reads 0.6 ohms for each test. Is the switch bad or could if have wired it incorrectly? i'm at a loss and don't want to buy another switch if there is nothing wrong.
Answer Patrick, With the element staying on even in the off position, this would be either a miswired switch or a bad switch. There should be a red wire on L2 and a black wire on L1. There would be a purple wire on P and then the other 2 wires to H1 and H2. Read More... Answered by AppliancePartsPros.com | Thursday, January 7, 2021
