Control Module

About the Control Module A gas oven’s control module will often be used to send voltage to the igniters to heat the oven to the designated temperature. When a temperature sensor senses that the oven has reached the appropriate temperature, the control module should shut off the voltage to the heating circuit. If the module is defective, the voltage may be shut off too early or not at all, resulting in an inaccurate oven temperature. You should test the temperature sensor and other components first before considering replacing the control module. If you confirm the other components are working properly, you can inspect the module for signs of damage or a shorted component. You can also use a multimeter to test for voltage reaching the igniters after reviewing the appliance’s wiring diagram.
