One of the common causes of industrial convection oven downtime is because the equipment does not start. This problem is quite difficult to fix because a lot of aspects affect the non-movement of the machine. How can you fix an industrial convection oven that does not start?
Check the door switch
For most brands of ovens, when the door switch is defective, the whole thing does not start. It is because the door switch indicates that the whole process of convection is allowed to start. The door switch is usually located behind the front panel. To know if the temperature switch is functioning or not, you can use a multi-tester and connect the probes to the terminals. See if there is continuity.
Is the fuse still ok?
The industrial convection oven may also not start if the fuse is damaged. The thermal fuse is used in ovens to avoid overheating in the equipment. If you do not know where the thermal fuse is, it usually encapsulated in a housing. Some models use more than one fuse. Contact the manufacturer to check the location and number of fuse for the oven.
Is the start switch functioning?
A machine’s start switch can malfunction, disabling the industrial oven to start. The switch should give a signal to the heating element to start increasing in temperature. The start switch can also be checked if it is still working by using a multi-tester.
Assess the drive motor
The drive motor makes the equipment run. If the drive motor is defective, it may cause the appliance not to start. To check if the motor works or not, you need to remove the drum and the panel. You will know if the drive motor is still ok once you supply it with voltage.
Seeking assistance
A lot of factors affect the functionality of the industrial convection oven. You should choose the right service provider to make sure that it will be handled safely and well. Contacting the manufacturer of your equipment is the best way to ensure your industrial oven is in the best hands.
