Temperature Control

Check for supply voltage at temperature control. If

 

 

no voltage is present, trace wiring back to hi-limit

 

 

thermostat. Turn the temperature adjustment knob

 

 

to maximum temperature position and check for

 

 

208/240 VAC at the load terminals 7 and 8. If

 

 

208/240 VAC is present and unit is not heating,

 

 

refer to "Mercury Contactor" for next check. If

 

 

208/240 VAC is not present, proceed.

 

Thermocouple Probe

WITH POWER ON AND THERMOCOUPLE

 

 

LEADS ATTACHED TO THE TEMPERATURE

 

 

CONTROL BOARD: measure D.C. millivolt output

 

 

of these leads. Refer to thermocouple chart in

 

 

Section D for proper readings. If these readings

 

 

are not achieved, replace thermocouple.

 

Temperature Control

Disconnect the potentiometer leads from the board.

 

Potentiometer

Place ohm meter test leads on the blue and green

 

 

pot. leads. Reading should be 1 K ohms.

 

 

Place meter leads across the blue and purple pot.

 

 

leads and rotate knob from high to low. Repeat on

 

 

green and purple leads. Check for even rise and

 

 

fall of ohms reading to insure that there are no open

 

 

or dead spots in the potentiometer. Check each

 

 

lead to ground for shorts. Replace pot if it does not

 

 

meet the above test.

 

Mercury Contactor

Check for supply voltage to the contactor coil. If

 

 

voltage is present and the contactor will not

 

 

activate, replace the contactor. Also, check each

 

 

contactor for proper high voltage input and output.

 

Heater Elements

Check the amp draw on each hot leg for proper

 

 

load. Check the specifications plate for rating

 

 

information. If the amp draw is low or high, check

 

 

the individual elements for opens, shorts, and

 

 

proper resistance. WITH POWER OFF: To check

 

 

resistance of the elements, remove all leads from

 

 

the elements and use an accurate digital VOM.

 

 

The element resistance should be as follows:

 

 

208V - 27 ohms

approximately

 

 

240V - 36 ohms

approximately

Oven heats with switch off

Mercury Contactor

The mercury contactor has probably malfunctioned

 

 

in the closed position. If there is no voltage to the

 

 

operating coil, but there is high voltage at the

 

 

contactor out put, replace the mercury contactor.

Intermittent Heating

Thermal/Overload of motor

The main fan motor is equipped with internal

 

 

thermal protection and will cease to operate if

 

 

overheating occurs. As the motor overheats and

 

 

then cools, this will cause the oven to cycle on and

 

 

off intermittently. This may be caused by improper

 

 

ventilation or preventive maintenance. Also, most

 

 

of the problems listed under "Oven will not heat"

 

 

can cause intermittent failure.

Conveyor will not run

Voltage Supply

Check incoming voltage supply at line 1 to neutral.

 

 

There should be a voltage reading of 208/240 VAC.

 

 

If not present, check breakers.

 

10 Amp Fuse

Check and/or replace.

 

Fuseholder

Check and/or replace.

 

Fan Switch
