ELECTRICITY----HELP

Cris?

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!

ROFL.................................PR, my sides were hurting so bad, I had to get back up and walk around.  Don't do that to me again.

Got the schematic.................it does not show an oven/stove transformer.  Just a transformer for the ballast for the fluorescent light.  The schematic doesn't show me voltages at all...............it's just a wiring diagram.  Now what?  That just threw that idea of mine into the trash.  You do know that this is a computerized electronic stove/oven, don't you?  That computer panel is the panel I told you was replaced (very, very expensive) two weeks ago. That panel has it's own transformer in it's power supply. That panel regulates all the timings and oven controls, clock, timer, temp settings, etc...........It's working, or at least I think it is.  It's turning the oven on, and bringing it up to temp.

I have no meter to measure the amps.

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

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.  


I think we are back to the exorcism.

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.  

We try to keep everyone happy.

Hi Mr. 5020,

Welcome back to CU.

Yes, I realized what I did, but let it slide.  Glad you got a kick out of it.  Is is not funny how humans can say one thing and do another?  Well, sometimes it's funny.  Just depends on what it is.

In the midst of all this trouble with the oven, Pastor Roger is keeping me in stitches.  Glad he is, 'cause I'm stressed out over all of it.  What is that saying now, "when it rains, it pours" or something to that effect?

Grace and peace,
cris

Hey Cris,

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

[Soldier4Christ]

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.

I'm still ROFL everytime I read something you write!

I can't imagine anything wrong either, but there IS something wrong and it doesn't make any sense.  This is just defying all logic.  I can't tell you how many test batches of cookies I've put in that oven this week.  I'm so sick of cookies, I don't care if I never eat one again.  I never thought I'd ever say that, especially when they were chocolate chip.

This is so frustrating.  Everything that could be replaced has been replaced, thermostat, panel, and elements.  It should be working like it's brand new.

I don't know if you were serious about exorcism (I don't think you were) but I'm beginning to think..................well, it isn't logical, but.................I'm not sure I can discount it.  I did lay this problem at His feet this morning.  Well, I'm Christian, and I believe these things can happen.  So, I guess I've got some casting out to do.  I just went out there (hehe) and opened the oven door.  Temp was 230 (cooling down) and I didn't notice the odor.  I did what I had to do and then turned the oven to 350.  Just went back out and opened the oven door.  The odor is still there, but not strong like it was.  Guess I'm going to have to put something else in to bake and see what happens.  I'm not doing it tonight, though.  I'm too tired.  Again, I checked the oven.  Odor seems to be gone and it's holding at 350.

This has been stranger than strange!

Grace and peace,
cris

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??

This was the very first thing I did.  They don't offer that service anymore.  The only thing they said they could do was set me up for a service call.  Well, I called A repair service myself, they came, told me since I had replaced the elements, the panel needed to be replaced to the tune of $565.00 including that day's service call.  I paid him the $65.00 and he left.  You know the rest of the story.  $65.00 for the SC, $200.00 for the panel, $40.00 for the thermostat, and around $150.00 for the elements.  Seems to add up to about $460.00.  I also had to replace a sensor for one of my stove burners to the tune of $60.00.

At that price you almost paid for a brand new stove.

I love the batter, too.  I once made the batter just to eat that way.  Put it in the fridge and spooned it out, little by little, till it was all gone.  Yum!

(I still don't know how to quote parts of posts)

Reference oil and hot burners...............at this point, I'm not so sure it wouldn't be a good idea.

Reference casting out........................it's too heavy for one person to lift so it's definitely the other.  I already did it!  I will again tomorrow when I get up.  I never gave a thought to casting it out of the house..................that was funny PR.  LOL...................I'm still busting out with laughter from time to time.....................YOU are a hoot!

I was thinking the same thing.  I was at least on my way.  That stove was $1200 eight years ago.  It is also a convection oven.  That's the reason it was so expensive.  Actually, I thought I'd have it for the rest of my life.  One thing I KNOW for sure.........................they don't build 'em like they used to.  We need ALL American made products.  America once had pride in what she produced.  It WAS high quality.  I'm old enough to know that.

[Soldier4Christ]

YOU are a hoot!

It comes naturally.
