THE OVEN THERMOSTAT &

VENT MOTOR CAPACITOR

OVEN THERMOSTAT

The vent motor capacitor is located in the high
voltage area of the oven and is accessed by
removing the control panel. It is in use any time
the vent motor is in operation. The capacitor
helps to maintain a constant voltage to the vent
motor so that it runs smoother and more effi-
ciently.

The oven thermostat is located in the high volt-
age section of the oven and is accessed by
removing the control panel. The thermostat is
normally-closed and will open at a set tempera-
ture to disable the oven. The “trip” tempera-
ture is 194˚F (90˚C). The thermostat is
resettable.
