| One "set of pins" has 24vac while the other has like 3vac. What is happening is the relays are switching back off after a few mintues. The coil will energize and the oven will get hot but then a few mintues later the relay cuts off? Does that sound like a leaking e-cap or a bad diode? |

Just because a transformer has a mess of pins, does not mean it has to use all of them. 
AC out of transformer can be rectified by one diode (half-wave) or by two diodes (full wave). It can also be rectified by four diodes (full wave bridge). |

| Always? Sweetie I thought I had located a replacement part that had 24v for the secondary winding. Does that explain why there are 4 connections out of the secondary? Taking it from AC and turn to DC by way of some diodes on a connected board? Then it seems to run back to the original board to some relays. and then back to the transformer? |

| Voltage at transformer "pins" is always AC. |

|
| I have a transformer on a circuit board of my GE range. I'm measure 110AC on the pimary side but on the secondary side there are 4 pins, marked 5,6,7 and 8. It should have 24 DC volts coming out of it. From what I can remember in one of my undergraduate class, the 2 pins on the primary measure 110 AC and the secondary should have 2 wire that read 24 DC. I have 4 pins coming out of the secondary. Two that measure 11 while the other two pins have 24. This is measure under a load. I did check the resistance it was okay. Any suggestions to testing the transformer? |
