2. Verify gas orifice hood is correct for the altitude.

See Parts Catalog for Orifice Hood Chart.

THERMOCOUPLE TEST

 Disconnect the

electrical power to the machine and

follow lockout / tagout procedures.

1. Access TEMPERATURE CONTROLLER.
2. Remove thermocouple connections from

temperature controller.

Fig. 26

3. Check the thermocouple for resistance.

A. If meter reads an overload (OL) condition

(open), or zero ohms (short) replace the

thermocouple and check temperature

controller for proper operation.

4. If resistance is measured, thermocouple is good.

TEMPERATURE CONTROLLER

TEST

 Disconnect the

electrical power to the machine and

follow lockout / tagout procedures.

1. Access the TEMPERATURE CONTROLLER.
2. Connect power to the machine.
3. Turn on the power switch.
4. Verify temperature controller is receiving

120VAC at terminals L1 & L2, polarity is correct

and machine is properly grounded.

Fig. 27

5. Set temperature dial to 350°F.
6. Verify indicator light comes on and burner lights.

A. If heat light and main burners come on but

turn off within 10 seconds, Perform

THERMOCOUPLE TEST .

NOTE: 

 Temperature controller will de-energize

internal relay if the circuitry detects an open

thermocouple.

B. If heat light and main burners do 

not

 come

on, verify internal relay contacts are

operating properly. Check for 120VAC dual

solenoid valve.
