THE CONVECTION THERMISTOR

Original 03/97

Page 3-7

The convection thermistor is located under the circulation pulley cover and is used during the convection operation of the oven. When the temperature increases, the resistance of the thermistor decreases. The thermistor re- sistance is monitored by the microcomputer. As the oven temperature rises and falls, the

thermistor signal going back to the microcom- puter causes the heater relay to open and close, and cycles the heating element on and off.

NOTE: Verify that the heating element is work- ing correctly before replacing a thermistor.
