REMOVAL AND REPLACEMENT OF PARTS COVERS AND PANELS WARNING: DISCONNECT THE ELECTRICAL POWER TO THE MACHINE AT THE MAIN CIRCUIT BOX. PLACE A TAG ON THE CIRCUIT BOX INDICATING THE CIRCUIT IS BEING SERVICED. Top Front Cover The top front cover is secured with four (4) screws, two on each side of cover.
Left Side Panel Remove the screws which secure the left side of the top front cover, bottom front cover and control panel. Remove the seven screws securing the left side panel. Pull the left side panel out at the bottom then down to remove.
COMPONENT PANEL COMPONENTS WARNING: DISCONNECT THE ELECTRICAL POWER TO THE MACHINE AT THE MAIN CIRCUIT BOX. PLACE A TAG ON THE CIRCUIT BOX INDICATING THE CIRCUIT IS BEING SERVICED. Removable Components Remove the right side panel as outlined under "COVERS AND PANELS". NOTE: If right side panel is not accessible, this component can be serviced by removing the control panel as outlined under "COVERS AND PANELS".
Remove probe by pushing it through the oven wall and into the control panel area. NOTE: The hole in the oven cavity wall does not line up straight with the oven cavity outer shell, therefore the probe must be removed at an angle. Reverse the procedure to install the replacement probe.
LEFT SIDE ELEMENTS SHOWN NOTE: The mounting bracket is sealed with RTV which may still hold the element after the screws are removed. Also, in some cases, the ring terminal connected to the element may interfere with easy removal. If access to the left side panel and/or the top panel is available, see "ALTERNATE ACCESS".
Reverse procedure to install and adjust blower position as outlined under "BLOWER ADJUSTMENT" in "SERVICE PROCEDURES AND ADJUSTMENTS". Motor - perform step 3A and continue procedure. Remove the nuts that secure the motor mounting plate to the rear wall. Place a piece of cardboard on the bottom of the oven cavity to protect its surface from any damage during motor assembly removal.
Reverse procedure to install the replacement switch and check for proper adjustment as outlined under "DOOR SWITCH ADJUSTMENT" in "SERVICE PROCEDURES AND ADJUSTMENTS". DOOR WINDOW WARNING: DISCONNECT THE ELECTRICAL POWER TO THE MACHINE AT THE MAIN CIRCUIT BOX. PLACE A TAG ON THE CIRCUIT BOX INDICATING THE CIRCUIT IS BEING SERVICED.
Remove the lower door seal strip to expose the mounting screws of the door assembly. Remove the two (2) lower sill bolts by the lower door shaft and the four (4) counter-sunk screws from the lower sill. NOTE: The door assembly is heavy and will drop down once the last screw is removed.
Lift up on the door assembly and swing the right side out then move the assembly to the left to clear the slots in the upper door sill. Lay the door assembly on a flat cushioned surface for disassembly. Reverse procedure to install door assembly and check for proper adjustment as outlined under "DOOR ADJUSTMENT", "DOOR CHAIN ADJUSTMENT (SIMULTANEOUS DOORS)"...
NOTE: When installing probe guard, the probe should not extend beyond the guard. Remove the thermostat bulb from the oven cavity by pushing it through the oven wall and into the control panel area. NOTE: The hole in the oven cavity wall does not line up straight with the oven cavity outer shell, therefore the probe must be removed at an angle.
Depress the retaining tabs and pull the socket out from the oven, far enough to disconnect the lead wires. Remove the socket from the oven. Attach the lead wires to the replacement socket. Insert the socket into the hole in the oven and push until the socket is held in place by the retaining tabs.
SERVICE PROCEDURES AND ADJUSTMENTS WARNING: CERTAIN PROCEDURES IN THIS SECTION REQUIRE ELECTRICAL TEST OR MEASUREMENTS WHILE POWER IS APPLIED TO THE MACHINE. EXERCISE EXTREME CAUTION AT ALL TIMES. IF TEST POINTS ARE NOT EASILY ACCESSIBLE, DISCONNECT POWER, ATTACH TEST EQUIPMENT AND REAPPLY POWER TO TEST. SOLID STATE TEMPERATURE CONTROL CALIBRATION Place a thermocouple in the geometric center...
Rotate the knob to the lowest temperature setting then back to 350°F. Repeat the average temperature calculation in step 7. NOTE: Allow the oven to cycle at least two times between adjustments before performing the calculation. If the average temperature still differs more than 10 °F from the dial setting, adjust the thermostat calibration...
After the final adjustment is made and the average temperature is within tolerance, remove the knob and apply a non- permanent type sealer around the head of the set screw. 10. If the above adjustment cannot be obtained: Turn the power switch OFF. WARNING: DISCONNECT THE ELECTRICAL POWER TO THE MACHINE AT THE MAIN CIRCUIT BOX.
TEMPERATURE PROBE TEST (SOLID STATE CONTROL) WARNING: DISCONNECT THE ELECTRICAL POWER TO THE MACHINE AT THE MAIN CIRCUIT BOX. PLACE A TAG ON THE CIRCUIT BOX INDICATING THE CIRCUIT IS BEING SERVICED. NOTE: The temperature probe used in conjunction with the Solid State Temperature control is an RTD (resistance temperature detector) of the Thermistor type.
BLOWER ADJUSTMENT WARNING: DISCONNECT THE ELECTRICAL POWER TO THE MACHINE AT THE MAIN CIRCUIT BOX. PLACE A TAG ON THE CIRCUIT BOX INDICATING THE CIRCUIT IS BEING SERVICED. Remove the blower motor and mounting assembly by following steps 1 through 7 as outlined under "BLOWER AND MOTOR"...
DOOR ADJUSTMENT Check the doors to make sure they have an equal gap between them and that the vertical edge of the door is parallel to the vertical door seal. If the doors are not positioned in this manner, adjust the doors as described. Remove the top front cover.
With the doors closed, observe the position of the catch roller "ball" in relation to the door strike. Ensure the catch roller "ball" is centered (left to right) to the door strike. Adjust alignment, if necessary. Open the right side door and view the left side door catch roller and strike.
Turnbuckles should be 5 to 5 ½ inches apart. Short eye bolt should be connected to the end of the chain that goes to the front of the sprocket. 2 links of the chain should not be engaged at the rear of the sprocket. Chain must be tight enough that the doors move simultaneously when opened or closed.
