Change my Smeg oven from display mode

Hi,

I recently bought a new Smeg wall oven (model SFPA6300X). When I bought it the salesman said it was in display/demonstration mode and my electrician will be able to change it over no problem. I checked the manual and it explains how to get the oven out of 'demo' mode but there is no power to it at all. My electrician has confirmed the power is working. When I went back to the packaging from the store there's a note saying "DISPLAY OVEN: Clock relay + thermostat have been disconnected".

I have search Smeg forums to see if I can find more information but have had no luck. Wondering if anyone knows how to connect the 'clock relay and the thermostat' and if its easy enough to do myself or will I need someone (an electrician) to come in and fix it??

New to me, Tappan Deluxe gas oven

I just acquired an old Tappan Deluxe gas oven/range, does anyone know anything about these? I don't see a safety valve on it for the pilot lights, is this really safe to use, or should I shut the gas off every time i'm not using the oven? A co-worker told me the pilots on it doesn't put out enough gas to be dangerous if it should go out, I'm having a hard time with that answer. any help would be appreciated.

FE-R400SW Samsung Electric Range - LED display problem & flashing oven light

Hello,

I have a Samsung Electric Range (FE-R400SW), about 5 years old. It is in a unoccupied suite and has barely ever been used. The LED control panel is faint/dim and not displaying properly. Also, when I open the oven door, the oven light flashes on and off quickly 5-10 times accompanied by a clicking sound, like a relay. Otherwise, it seems to work.

I'm wondering if this might be a quick DIY fix (i.e.: controller board swap)? Would this part be expensive?

I really don't need the stove and would be happy to sell it but wouldn't want to pass off something that is potentially dangerous. I keep it unplugged for the time being.

Any thoughts or experiences with this?

Thanks!

Samsung NX58K9850SS - No display and igniter clicking

Hi All -

I used the oven yesterday without an issue. Today I've only used the stovetop - don't think I used the touch screen at all - and shortly after cooking the igniter started clicking and I noticed the panel was completely unresponsive. Can't do anything. Tried unplugging and turning off the circuit for a minute. Still nothing. Any suggestions? New home owner. Have only had this thing since October and really don't want to pay for maintenance.

Thanks in advance,
Matt

LWD3081ST-00 LG Double Oven F-9 error code

Good morning, i'm working on a LG double oven that's throwing the F-9 code. The oven thermostat was replaced about 3 years ago when the code first appeared and now its back, could it be something else causing the oven to show this code? thanks

CGSR362G2 Capital Culinarian oven overheating

This gas oven has had an overheating issue since almost new.

I have had Capital’s tech out three times and he has replaced the thermostat each time.

Yesterday, after the repair tech replaced the mechanical thermostat for the third time, I attempted to bake some cookies at 375. I use an external thermometer to monitor the oven temp and after smelling the cookies burning I checked the temp and thermometer was maxed out, over 510 degrees.

From my understanding of mechanical thermostats the failure modes are normally it won’t turn on the burner or the burner will not turn off.

I disassembled the replaced thermostat and the contact points were not fused.

An interesting data point is the overheating appears to only happen if the oven knob is set over 300 degrees. Lower than that the oven works correctly.

The repair tech did test the oven after replacing the thermostat to confirm it worked.

One difference between the tech’s test and my first use was that I had two cookie sheets side by side filling the oven.

Any thoughts on what could be wrong besides the thermostat? Perhaps a temperature sensitive solenoid controlling the gas?

Thermador Oven C301 - door lock issue - Error Codes 50 & 51

After dealing with my fridge all week, now its the built in Thermador (single) Oven.

I tried to run the self clean cycle, and its confused about the door lock. Sometimes its actually locked, but it doesn't think it is. And sometimes its unlocked, and the oven thinks it can't lock. If I leave the door open, and hold the door light switch in, I can see the door lock move back and forth.

In any case, the self clean mode cancels itself after about 40 sec, and I get either the 50 or 51 error code.

I thought I'd put this thread up before I go pulling the oven to get access to the door lock.

Any thoughts??

VGSC3676BSS Viking range ignition issues

I just had a service call for a friend's 10 year old Viking range. Photo of the range top: http://ift.tt/2ESWdy5

The main reason for the service was that the piezo ignition only works for the left rear burner. Secondary issue is the ignition continues to click even after the burners are lit.

He came out and wire brushed the igniters and took the burners apart.

Almost $200 later ($75 for the service call, $105 hourly rate) he was able to get two burners to ignite, and said we should replace all 6 complete burner assemblies because of corrosion, and becuase he has to cut them off to take the range top off, so we might as well replace them all. At a total cost of around $1000.

So I'd like a second opinion, but I'm loath to get another repair person in here. I'm pretty handy and comfortable with electonics, so if you've got recommendations for me, I'll give it a go.

Miele oven cooking probe / meat probe

Hi, my oven is no longer registering the (wired) meat probe. A while back I noticed that the preset temperature could not be set any higher than 60C, or rather you could set a higher temperature, but cooking stopped at 60C anyway. Only after the meat had reached 60C could you set the temperature higher and the oven would remember it. The other day I was going to test this to prepare for speaking with Miele service, but then the probe was not registered at all. The oven does not register that there is a probe jacked in at all.

When I measure resistance it is fairly stable and changes with temperature so I suspect the probe is OK, but I've been trying to find out what the resistance of the probe should be so that I can check whether it's probe or oven that is faulty. Do anyone know what the resistance should be at room temperature?

Would anyone know if it is likely to be faulty receptacle or faulty electronics if the probe is OK?

Thanks in advance.

PS - the Miele guy said it might just be a greased up receptacle so I'll try and clean it.
