Homedics Air Revitalizer, Model BRT 150 -Power switch doesn't work

Hello,
There is a high limit thermostat that will cut all the power to the upper oven elements. Their is a wiring diagram in this link http://www.searspartsdirect.com/partsdirect/part-model/Jenn-air-Parts/Wall-oven-Parts/Model-WW2460B/1266/0125300?pathTaken=&prst=0&shdMod=WW2460B
when clicking on it,it will say not avaliable. A trick i have found is to open that link and then using your computer tools select the maximum zoom i use IE set to 400% and its pretty ledegable.

Are the oven doors locked as well, check if the front panel lock is active. Press and hold both the upper oven Cancel and Cook & Hold buttons for 3 seconds (or a bit longer). (Off should disappear from the display and the Lock indicator will flash.)

If that doesn't help, try pressing Cancel. Then try pressng the Cancel and Cook&Hold keypads together. If this doesn't help, then the control panel or the control itself is damaged and probably needs to be replaced. (Touch pads like this have electrical contacts on a membrane that is impossible to fix long term by cleaning the unit.)

For a parts list and prices see: http://www.searspartsdirect.com/partsdirect/part-model/Jenn-air-Parts/Wall-oven-Parts/Model-JJW9130DDS/1266/0125300/M0603043/00001?blt=06&prst=&shdMod= or http://www.appliancepartspros.com/partsearch/model.aspx?model_id=5170052&diagram_id=28429593 . Specifically part 1A and 2 are suspect. The control panel is the more likely part to fail (much like a membrane keyboard).

Most Jenn-Air appliance manuals are available here: http://shared.whirlpoolcorp.com/product_literature/search.jsp?siteCd=JA_EN_US . Fill in Consumer and then the model number and press the right arrow button. The direct link to the manual is http://www.kitchenaid.ca/assets/pdfs/literature/Use%20and%20Care%20Guide%20-%20W10176680.pdf .

I hope this helps.

You will need to replace the oven temperature switch. I did not find any parts available for that unit to direct you to. Do you have anymore information on it?

Hello,

The problem beleive it or not is that the bake ignitor is weak ,and it is not drawing the proper amprage to open the gas valve.If you have a amp meter access the wires to the bake ignitor(usually behind the storage drawer) and check for 3.3-3.6 amps when oven is set to bake by clamping the meter around ONE wire wire of ignitor make sure only one wire,either one and not both.
if amp draw less than 3.3-3.6 amps replace bake ignitor. I know it seems improbable that if the ignotor comes on that it could be the problem.Professional appliance technicians who would charge a average of $250.00 to repair your oven,have found when the ignitor comes on yet the oven won't heat that a weak ignitor is the cause 100% of the time

Hope this helps

Thanks for choosing FixYa and welcome. you have a electric oven or a gas oven that won't heat or doesn't heat properly, here are some things you will need to check. The most likely cause of a oven not heating correctly is a defective heating element. You have two types of heating elements in your oven. The bottom element(s) are the baking elements. The element(s) on the top are the broil elements. If you don't see the bright red glow from the element, chances are they are not working or not working correctly. If a heating element is bad, you need to replace the entire element. If your oven is warm and not correctly hot, one of the elements may be bad. In most ovens, when you preheat, both elements are used. This would make the oven to appear like it is working correctly but it is not. If the elements are not working, they might not be getting power. Test the wires to the elements with a voltage meter to make sure they are getting power before you decide to change them out. Many electrical ovens have a sensor that monitors the oven temperture. Ovens that have this sensor usually contain a digital display on the oven. The sensor could be defective. Those without the sensor use the basic mechanical system to control the oven temperature. You also want to check the thermostat sensing bulb. Make sure the bulb is good and has not come loose. Now, if you have a gas range oven that doesn't heat properly, first, you want to check your bake igniter. It may have burned out or it could be not working properly. It will be located near your burner. It is also possible that you are not getting gas to the burner. If so, it may be the gas safety valve or the igniter. You need to check your selector switch and thermostat as well. They may be defective. Always make sure you test the parts for power with a voltage meter of some type before you decide to change the part. If you have a part that appears to not be working, it may not be getting power because of a bad wire or broken connection.

Unfortunately the F7 error code normally means a problem in the controller or touchpad (replacing both is common and parts alone is about $300)

You might try shutting down the power. Then finding the ribbon cable connector for the touch panel, unplug and clean the edge connector with a #2 pencil eraser. Sometimes that improves the signal enough that it will work a little longer, sometimes it doesn't and then you are talking about a $300 parts expense plus your labor or the $300 parts and Service call and labor expenses if you call a service tech.

ISOLATE THE MAINS POWER BEFORE CHECKING THE APPLIANCE
Run your fingers along the grill element, in this model it is accessible, check for raised areas or small hole or roughness not food burnt, if visible, it should be Black Grey colour at the blemish, you can obtain parts from www.whitegoods.co.uk you will need the model and serial numbers.
The grill elements come out but when unsrewed sometimes the ceramic holders crack, remove element before ordering as you may have to replace the element holders.
Hope this has been helpful

Hi. It could be your thermostat not sending power to bake element. If elements are really burning out that fast, check the voltage coming to stove. If more than 220 volts, could be a problem with the power coming into your home. Check also the element if it has continuity.

An instruction booklet should have come with the part, but if you didn't mark or label the wires when you took them off the old switch, then you have to identify them by whatever method is available. Appliance Dealer repair shops usually have microfich or computer schematics to identify parts and their assembly, and you might try to call on one of these places, if you can. They're usually more than happy to bring up the diagrams and try to assist. Other than that, one would need a full fledged service manual, and other than being difficult to find, they're usually somewhat expensive, but not always. Here is a great link to a site that has some good information about appliances, and they do have your parts, and may be of assistance to you since they also have instructions for the parts. They may be able to email you a scan of the instructions, never know till you try...so contact them. Here's the link:

Good luck, hope this helps, and thanks for using FixYa.

Usually the problem is the heating element. This is easy to check and usually inexpensive. There is a video at http://appliancehelponline.com/ovenelementvideo.html that will walk you thru testing and replacing. It may be a different model but the testing and replacement will be the same. You can also enter your model # for diagrams and illustrations of your specific model. All parts come with installation instructions. Not all models are available.
If the element checks good it probally blew the relay on the main control board you will know this if you have no power to the element.
