5.2 WATER LEVEL CONTROL BOARD

 

The Dual Function Water Level Controller is two 
controls on one board. One controller maintains correct 
water level in the boiler, the other a low water safety 
cutoff. 

The following troubleshooting procedure will only 
determine if the Water Level Control Board is working 

properly, it will not determine why the board has failed. 

This procedure exposes you to a shock hazard and 

must be performed only by qualified service personnel. 

NOTE:

 Improperly connected or malfunctioning water 

level controller may cause damage to the steam 
generator due to low water, or create a scalding hazard 
to the operator due to a hot water overflow condition. 

Tools Required:

 

A digital or analog volt meter capable of reading 120 

volts A.C. and a jumper wire with alligator clips. 

 

 

Procedure:

 

1. Turn off all power to the unit. 

2. Select the controller to be tested. Inside the electrical 

panel, the water level control for the top cooking cavity 
is at the top of the electrical p anel and wires to the 
controller will have an "A" after the wire number. The 
controller for the bottom cooking cavity is at the bottom 

of the electrical panel and its wires will have a "B" suf-
fix. In this test procedure, reference to the wires' "A" or 
"B" suffix will be omitted. 

 

3. Remove the wires  #40,41, and 42 from the terminal 

connectors "G", "H", and "LLOC". 

WARNING:

 When 

you turn the power on, there are 

terminals that carry 120 volts. Protect the ends of these 
disconnected wires to prevent

 snorting to hot /eads. 

4. Turn power ON. Using the voltmeter, check that 

power being supplied to terminals L I & L2 is 1 20 volts, 
plus 10%, minus 15%.
