ELECTRICAL OPERATION

COMPONENT FUNCTION
Power Switch (S1)Determines the mode of operation; ON, OFF, or COOL DOWN.
Oven Light Switch (S3)Controls the oven cavity lights.
Fan Speed Switch Hi/ Low (S2) Controls blower motor speed between Hi and Low settings.
BuzzerSignals the end of a “Cook” cycle when cooking time expires.
Door SwitchAllows the oven to operate when the doors are closed but stops the oven from operating when the doors are opened.
Blower MotorOperates the oven cavity blower (convection fan). Also, an internal centrifugal switch on the motor is utilized to allow the connection of power to the heat relay (R3) when the motor is at operating speed.
Transformer (T1)Provides 24VAC power to the ignition control module and heating circuit.
Solid State Temperature Control (VC5GD) Monitors temperature sensor and regulates the oven cavity temperature by controlling the heat relay (R3) through the blower motor centrifugal switch contacts.
High Limit Thermostat Protects the oven from temperatures above 550°F by removing power from the 1st valve (safety) on the dual solenoid gas valve which stops the flow of gas to the burner. Auto resets at 500°F.
Ignition Control ModuleControls the gas ignition cycle – Energizes the 2nd valve (main) on the dual solenoid gas valve, generates spark for burner ignition, monitors the presence of a flame and controls the No Ignition light. The ignition times are: 4 second self-diagnostic test (initial power ON); 7 second ignition trial; 3 ignition trials with a 15 second purge between each trial.
Igniter/Flame Sense Ignites the gas and senses the presence of a flame. The flame presence generates a micro-amp “flame sense” current that is monitored by the ignition control module. A flame sense current of 0.7 micro amp (minimum) is required to maintain burner ignition.
Power On LightLit whenever the power switch (S1) is turned to ON or Cool Down mode.
Heat LightLit whenever temperature control is calling for heat.
Reset LightLit when power is turned ON, during ignition trial & gas purge time and when no flame is detected by flame sensor. If the oven fails to ignite after 3 attempts, it will remain lit until power is reset.
Temperature ProbeSenses the oven temperature for the solid state temperature control or computer control. On oven models using the solid state control, converts the temperature into a resistance valve which is monitored by the temperature control board. As temperature increases the resistance value decreases.
Gas Valve (Dual Solenoid)Allows gas flow to the burner when the 1st valve (safety) and 2nd valve (main) solenoid coils are both energized.
Cooling FanCirculates cooler air from rear of oven forward to cool components in the control area.
Timer5 HR Cook timer.
