I have the same problem. www.repairshack.com has replacement doors but they are out of stock. You may want to check with them to see when it comes back in. Specifically http://www.repairshack.com/detail.aspx?ID=705 or call

You need a tube of permatex blue or black RTV silicone.I reglued my door about three years ago and it is still holding. Trick is to clean all parts PERFECTLY first using steel wool, a flat 4-sided file, etc.. Then clean real good with acetone (outdoors cause its explosive and toxic). After acetone dries do it again and wipe it dry with a piece of cotton jersey. Then reattach the hinge or handle sides using the silicone and tape it with blue masking tape. Let cure for 48 hours. You will have a joint as good or better than the factory joint.

Farberware manuals do not seem to be available online. Try contacting Farberware Customer Service at the following site:

I have this manual. I have been using this oven for almost 30 years. (I love it!) However, I'm having trouble with internet connections at the moment. As soon as I can get a good connection again, I will scan the manual and upload it here for those of you who need it.

I have this oven and I'm very much afraid the fan motor is getting ready to go out on me (I've used this oven almost 30 years). If it does go out, I'll be willing to sell the two racks and the drip pan -- if you're still looking for them then.

The top temperature is actually 475 (which is 550 in a regular oven). That's with the dial turned as far as it goes to the left. Don't know how you'll figure out the settings for the temperatures above 350, unless you measure the intervals below 350 and mark them off on the other side some way.

Here's a picture of the dial on my oven:

The only thing you have to know is that pork and chicken cook at 325. Any baked goods with leavening in it cooks at 75 degrees less than what the recipes calls for but no lower than 275.

I would have to say that your issue is thermostat related.  The thermostat only send a signal when temperature is reached, not what the current temperature is.  So if it is malfuntioning, the desired temperature will never be reached.  Therefore, not sending a signal to cut the heat, even though it is 350.

I have 2 shelves and a chrome drip pan from a Farberware T4850. They are used but in good condition. As far as I know, all the shelves for the Farberware T series convection ovens are the same. My T4850 just stopped working a few days ago, and I am looking to replace it. I would be willing to give you the 2 shelves & chrome drip pan (which you may be missing and are unaware of it). If your interested, do the research to make sure the shelves are the same. You can e-me at [email protected]. Shipping is on you

Use an oven thermometer to test it the temperature at the various dial settings to see which is which.... Good luck!

It is usually one of two items that could cause this problem. You need to take the outer shell off. Lots of screws. Pull the "brain board" from the right, front of the oven. There is a relay housing. This 30 amp. relay is made by Omron. Look at the connector pins on the back side of the relay, especially the white wire that goes to the distribution block then on to the heating coil. I find that the soldered pins on the pc board next to the relay often get so hot that they 'shed' the solder. If so, simply clean well and re-solder. The relay itself can also go bad. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to obtain replacements. What I did on one oven was to buy a 30 amp, open frame relay (~$20). Mount it on the chassis near the fan. Remove the Omron relay and simply run the appropriate wires to the open frame relay. That works very well.

Hi budluco
Happy to help you!!
This is very dangerous and could hurt someone or cause a fire!
Unfortunately if this oven is that old you can buy a new one for the same or less than repairing it!

I am happy to assist you!
