I'm sorry. That is 'need to know' information.

If we told you, we would have to kill you.


This discussion concerning taking voltage measurements at the input of
the oven sounds a bit over the OP's head. And this person really
considered screwing around with what probably is a 240V appliance? I
see this ALL the time however it never ceases to amaze me. I think
they were looking for the little man inside sitting on the defective
component and waving the flag. Sounds more like a case of "Operator
Head space" to me. Lenny


Beckyboo provided us with the trouble symptom,
what she did in an attempt to fix the problem and a
simple request for help, all stated in easily
understandable English.

She safely checked and replaced fuses in the fuse
box, so she should have no trouble safely driving
a multimeter.

As others have said, there is a small question about
what she meant by 'ignition' if this really is
an *electric* oven.

About the worst thing one can say is that she
apparently expected an answer within minutes of
typing her question into USENET and didn't bother
to answer follow-up questions.
