Troubleshooting

Oven Fails To Operate: No Heat,  

Overheats

1. 

If the indicator light does not illuminate, check power supply.

2. 

Check plug at outer end of power cord and run continuity check on complete 
power cord. If defective, replace cord assembly.

3. 

Check indicator light for continuity. If defective, replace indicator light.

4. 

Check thermostat. If indicator light illuminates, power is being supplied 
through thermostat to heating elements. Turn knob from low to high setting 
and return. A definite "snap" should be heard at low temperature end and 
indicator light should turn off and on with each "snap" cycle. If "snap" is not 
heard and indicator light fails to operate, replace entire thermostat.

5. 

If thermostat operates satisfactorily, check continuity of dual hairpin style 
heating elements at bottom center of oven. Failure of one element will 
prevent oven operation on 480 volts. If operating on 240 volts failure of one 
element will cause very slow heating.

6. 

If thermostat operates satisfactorily, recalibrate thermostat. (See Checking 
Thermostat Calibration section below).

Door Will Not Close Properly  

1. 

Use screwdriver to adjust door latch.

2. 

If latch is broken, replace with Door Latch and Strike (part #1252200). (See 
Replacement Parts section in this manual.)

Checking Thermostat Calibration:

Each thermostat is adjusted at the factory and calibrated on precision instruments 
to control temperatures accurately. Adjustment or re-calibration is not needed 
unless the thermostat has been mishandled in transit or changed or abused while 
in service.
To check calibration:

1. 

Use a high grade mercury thermometer to check temperature. For griddle 
control, use a disc type thermocouple. Put a couple drops of oil on griddle 
surface plate, and place thermocouple disc flat into the oil.

2. 

Turn the dial of the thermostat to 325° mark.

3. 

Allow enough time for temperature to stabilize or until several temperature 
readings are identical. 

To calibrate:

1. 

Remove knob from dial shaft by pulling knob straight out.

2. 

With screwdriver, turn screw clockwise to decrease and counterclockwise to 
increase temperature. Do not allow dial shaft to turn during this operation. A 
¼ turn of the screw equals approximately 35°.

3. 

Replace knob or control dial.

4. 

After calibrating, let the appliance operate until the temperature has 
stabilized, then recheck to determine if the calibration has been successful.

   CAUTION

• 

When replacing heating elements, always replace both elements. Pairing 

of one new element with an old element may cause rapid failure of old 

element.
