Fault Analysis

A.

Oven Does Not Heat Up

1.

The
temperature
controller is
OFF

No power from
supply

Check the fuses in the supply line

2.

The
temperature
controller is
ON

The controller
shows a very high
temperature or a
code such as EEE
or --- or S.br

The temperature sensor has broken
or has a wiring fault

The controller
shows a low
temperature

The SSR could be failing to switch
on due to internal failure, faulty
logic wiring from the controller, or
faulty controller

There are no lights
glowing on the
controller

The controller may be faulty or not
receiving a supply due to a faulty
switch or a wiring fault

B.

Oven Overheats

1.

Oven only
heats up
when the
instrument
switch is ON

The controller
shows a very high
temperature

The controller is faulty

The controller
shows a low
temperature

The thermocouple may have been
shorted out or may have been
moved out of the oven

The thermocouple may be
connected the wrong way round

The controller may be faulty

2.

Oven heats
up when the
instrument
switch is OFF

The SSR has failed
"ON"

Replace the SSR. Check for an
accidental wiring fault which could
have overloaded the SSR
