TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE

A. UNIT WILL NOT HEAT, CONVEYOR BELT WILL NOT MOVE.
1) Be sure the main circuit breaker is switched to the ON position.
2) Check to see if the toaster is plugged in and all controls are turned to the ON position.

2) Remove 2 screws holding enclosure to the bottom of the unit.
3) Set unit on the legs and remove 4 screws on the back of the toaster.
4) Slide the enclosure off the unit and remove the back panel.
5) Loosen the four screws that hold the drive motor in place.
6) Slide the motor up allowing the drive chain to be removed from the sprockets.

call the Star Service Help Desk at 1-800-807-9054, as the drive
motor and/or speed control may need replacing.

The front edge of the enclosure will slide beneath the toaster front.
D. HEAT LIMIT SWITCH (RESET)
Your Holman conveyor toaster is equipped with an automatically activated heat limit switch that
interrupts the heater tube connections if the ambient temperature in the control box exceeds
190°F (88C). This switch can be reset manually by pushing the red button under the toaster as
shown in the Toaster Components Illustration on Page 5.
1) DISCONNECT UNIT FROM POWER SOURCE.
2) Check to see if air intake area in the bottom center of the control box cover is free of dust,
grease or other obstructions.
3) Check if crumb tray is in place. NEVER OPERATE UNIT WITHOUT CRUMB TRAY IN PLACE
AS THIS CAUSES OVERHEATING IN THE CONTROL BOX.
4) If no obstructions to the airfl ow can be found and if the crumb tray is in place,
call the Star Service Help Desk at 1-800-807-9054 for assistance.
E. CONVEYOR TURNS AT ONE SPEED REGARDLESS OF SPEED
CONTROL SETTING.
1) Call the Star Service Help Desk at 1-800-807-9054, as speed control should be replaced.
F. PRODUCT STICKING TO CONVEYOR OR SLIDE
Your Holman conveyor toaster is designed to toast product that is a current room temperature.
DO NOT attempt to put frozen, refrigerated, or any butter or a butter substitute material in the
toaster. Doing so may cause it to come out doughy or very moist, as well as possibly sticking to
parts of the unit.
1) Follow the cleaning procedures listed on page 5.
