Hello all:
I have an older Amana Electric Wall Oven "Model AO-24SB". Manufacture # P85567-1S. Probably 30 years old. Some places it's called a "Maytag AO-24SB" model.
The lower baking element will only be warm (not a hot red glow) when the oven in on bake. The upper broiler element works fine.
I have a few questions please:
1. What is the correct resistance range (ohms) for a good lower heating element? I want to compare a good one to mine.
Since the lower element does get hot a bit I'm assuming that continuity is still there. The oven will get to about 250 degrees, but that is it.
2. The upper broiler element has a slightly different shape. Can I swap out the upper heating element to the lower one as just
a test to see if it's truly the lower element that is bad?
3. What would then be the next step in trouble shooting beyond the heating element. The temperature sensor? If so, what would that resistance be?
4. I'm also looking for an electrical schematic for this wall oven. I have pulled the front panel hoping there was a copy of it there but to no avail.
Would it be on the back side of the unit.?
5. Where can I get a service/repair manual? and maybe an electrical schematic. all the "ManualLibs" websites don't have them.
Any assistance would be appreciated. Thanks.........
