I like chocolate chip batter better than cookies anyway.

You might try annointing it with oil too but make sure the oven and burners are off if you do.

So, I guess I've got some casting out to do.

Is that casting out as in evil spirits or as in casting the stove out of the house??

58097  Fellowship / You name it!! / Re:ELECTRICITY----HELP on: November 11, 2005, 11:15:00 PM
I just had another idea Cris. Look on the stove for the manufaturer information. There should be an address or phonr number. If not on the stove maybe in the owners manual.

There sometimes is a 1-800 number you can call and ask them about the problem that you are having. I have done that in the past and was able to get my appliances fixed right away.

Hey Cris,

I know where you can get a good used butane tank and stove for cheap.

I won't tell you how much that was.[/b]  If an appliance repairman had done it, it would have cost over $800.  It cost me $400.[/b]

Just thought it was funny.  Wink

Whew .....  When you said "go out there" I thought you meant outside. I'm glad I was wrong on that.  Grin Grin

Ok   ......   computerized stove .....

PC board new ......  

coil new ......

Temp goes to 375 when set at 375

oven doesn't cook food even when temp is correct.

oven stinks and I'm not talking about the odor coming from it.

I can't imagine anything wrong with it when the temp goes up to what it is set at.   Huh Huh Huh Huh


I think we are back to the exorcism.   Angry Angry Angry Angry

Cris?


58102  Fellowship / You name it!! / Re:ELECTRICITY----HELP on: November 11, 2005, 10:03:38 PM
Woo wait a minute are you talking about the oven transformer or the transformer on the pole. Don't go near the one on the pole!

and even though the oven thermometer reads 375, if I set it at 375

Now I am really confused. If it is a steady 375 when set at 375 then the thermostat and the transformer must be good.

58104  Fellowship / You name it!! / Re:ELECTRICITY----HELP on: November 11, 2005, 09:53:12 PM
Yeah, I don't think you want to scratch the element in case you have to return it.

Take a deep breath, pray a lot. You don't need to get stressed out.

900 degrees?? What kind of stove do you have? The average household oven only goes to 500 maybe 550 at the most even in cleaning mode.

Do you have an oven themometer so you can see if the thermostat is working right?



I have a KitchenAid.  Broiling is 500 to 550, but self cleaning on any stove I've ever had has been 800 to 900 degrees.  That high temp is what does the cleaning.

Yes, I have 3 oven thermometers.  I said before that I used a thermometer to check the oven temp.  That's how I know it's reading correctly.  It's staying steady at whatever it's set on, and I might add, it's smack dab right in the center of the oven, too.  This is unbelievable!


Forgive me ....  I have a very poor short term memory so I have probably asked these questions several times. Just trying to cover all of the angles.

58105  Fellowship / You name it!! / Re:ELECTRICITY----HELP on: November 11, 2005, 09:51:04 PM
The only thing that can go wrong with the wiring is a loose connection or a break in it. The transformer could be a problem also. There is a wiring diagram on your stove. Usually on a back panel. It should tell you what the voltage is supposed to be on the stove side of the transformer. You can check the output of it and see if it is putting the right voltage out.

Another thing to consider is amperage. Amperage is harder to check without a special meter though as the standard multimeter only checks up to 10 amps and an oven is 60 amps. I would check the transformer voltage though and the out put of the thermostat to the coil.

One thing that I might suggest is to let the oven cool down completely then try cleaning the element with rubbing alcohol, scrubbing it good with steel wool or a scotch bright pad. Let the alcohol evaporate really good and then try it again.

Cris,

The more you describe the more it sounds like you only have one leg going to your stove. Have you used the multimeter and checked voltage on both legs (hot wires)?

Oven coils usually have a shellac covering on them during shipment to prevent them from rusting. It usually burns off in seconds with the right amount of juice going through them. It happens so fast normally that there isn't much oder.



Sorry, I never logged off but wasn't here the whole time.

Yes, it was checked at the fuse box AND behind the stove.  Think I told you when the house voltage was 130, the voltage coming over the 220 line was 260.  Behind the stove, legs read 128 and 128.8.  

The self cleaning cycle finished and cooled.  I then turned the oven back on to bake at 375..............it still smells, and is in my throat.  What in the world is going on?  What else could it possibly be?  I'm baffled, and so are the people at the appliance parts store.

cris






uhhhh  .......   time for an exorcism??

Baffled is an understatement.
