We lost power today and know my oven doesn't work.

I have tried the usual stuff. I reset the breaker even though it didn't need it. I also reset the GFI. I even reset the clock. Each of these did not fix the problem. I can turn on the broiler but the oven does not come on. Any ideas before I call out the repair man? Thanks, Jim

I have a combination of the problems described for this model. Initially I had the two right hand stove burners that would not ignite so I decided to open up the cooktop to see if I could figure out the problem. I turned off the power and closed the gas valve on the attached regulator and proceeded to take the whole thing apart but did not find anything unusual. After putting everything back together lo and behold the front burner worked but the rear did not. Afterwards I stumbled across the post on fixya.com regarding the switches and was able to ignite the burner by activating another switch. Get a new switch mechanism, problem solved.

Unfortunately, I went to use the oven last night and it seemed to turn on (fan blowing) but never heated up. Same for the broiler. I reset the breakers with no luck and my wife is requesting I get someone in to help since Thanksgiving is 3 days away. Do you think I could have damaged the control panel? Could it be the ignitors? It would seem a coincidence that both failed. Is there any safety mechanisms that may be triggering if I didn't get everything back together?

I just thought of one other thing. When I shut off the regulator that is behind the bottom drawer I turned on one of the burners to empty the gas, however, it didn't seem to slow down. I believe I opened the valve again but it uses a little flip switch that did not provide much feedback if it is open or closed. Are there two regulators for the oven and stovetop and could I have been adjusting the oven and do not have the valve opened properly to provide gas to the oven?

Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Bill

Jim, In reading your post I'm assuming the control panel is operational. According to the model number it is a slide in range. You need to remove the lower panel and the flame spreader in the oven and see if your ignitor is coming on. It will be attached to the rear of the burner tube. In order to open the gas valve it needs to draw at least 3 amps and a steady 3.4 to 3.6 amps during heating. If your handy you can test this with a clamp on ammeter. Ohming it out should show around 171K ohms. On this model this rectangular ignitor is not interchangable with the cylindrical generic ignitor, they draw different amperage and use different gas valves. This is not a hard job to do, just need to take your time and observe...Catriver..post back.

FOUR SHELF OVEN NOT WORKING, THE FAN IS WORKING BUT NO HEAT

Look at the circuit breaker that powers the plug that the oven is plugged into. It should be located near the power meter on the house. It will be 2 breakers with a metal pin connecting the trip levers. Usually, one breaker trips and the pin is supposed to trip the other. This doesn't always work as advertised so only 110 volts is available to the oven. The heat elements need 220 volts to work. Try manually resetting the breaker first. If that doesn't work, then replace the breaker.

New microwave stopped working after 15 seconds

Possibly the fuse / breaker is tripped, usually all outlets in one room share same breaker. Check breakers (or fuses) or try outlet in differnt room. If the outlet has power, (plugin a lamp to check) and the microwave still does not work, take it back to store for replacement or refund.

Car not starting

This sounds like a dead battery, even though the stuff inside the car comes on doesn't mean it's not dead. The instruments/radio/lights only require about 6v to run them, while the vehicle on the other hand needs about 12.5v to start it. You can have your battery tested to see if it's good at your local auto parts store. This will usually take about a half an hour.

We lost our electrical power, when it came back on, the electrical panel (clock).. began blinking. The clock re-set with no problem. But, now the microwave won't work. I simply get a message that says...

Sorry to read about your problem, I hope this helps you out.

Anytime the power comes back on, their is a serge of power and things get blown up.
in the future, when you know you have a power outage.. turn off your main breakers,, then after the power comes on, then turn your power, you will not get the serge.
now go to you oven breaker and reset both switches, and see if your door lock corrects.

If you still cant get the microwave working, i have to give you this warning, and only say you have a defective control board.

Microwaves must be serviced by technicians due to the inherent dangers involved in repairing these appliances. Internal capacitors can retain a lethal electrical charge even though the unit is completely unplugged. A microwave radiation leakage test must be performed on the unit following any internal component repair.

today is july 15, 2011. i just came across this problem today. i have a connecticut electric spa disconnect panel and the part fh-20j-4 went bad too. it was about 3 years old. the spring loaded breaker would not retract automatically like it is supposed to do. i had been doing work in my home which required me to shut off the main power a few times. the last time i shut it off, my spa didn't come back on once power was restored. i didn't find out until later that evening when i wanted to get in my tub. i checked it out the next morning cause i've had problems with the panel resetting a few times before after a power ottage. this time it would only work if i held in the spring loaded breaker. i called connecticut electric at 1-1866-822-0453 and told them about the problem and gave them the part number. the person took my contact information and told me she would send me the part free of charge. try calling them. the number listed above is to their indiana office. hope this helps.

I HAVE A DCS OVEN AND I USED THE SELF CLEANER ON IT ON SUNDAY NIGHT. WHEN I WOKE UP ON MONDAY MORNING THE CLEANING LIGHT WAS STILL ON EVEN THOUGH THE OVEN WAS COOLED DOWN. WHEN IT WOULDNT OPEN, I USED A...

Hi.

The Oven getting lock after self cleaning is not uncommon.

That is caused by the high temperature reached on self cleaning, that can jam the control board or damage the door lock or the temperature probe.

Try first tripping circuit breaker or disconnecting power cord for five minutes.
After restarting try the oven.
If the oven still does not work, then hold down the cancel button for ten seconds.

If still no luck, then the oven is faulty in consequence of the extreme temperature reached in self cleaning.

If the Oven has regular display, then faulty part is usually the temperature probe.

If oven has no display, then the control board may had been damaged.

I can understand what problems a faulty oven can be in this moment.

Try first the reset, if that does not work, ring the number listed at the end of the owners manual to see if today any technician is available.

A local technician could easily put back the oven to work, replacing the probe, the point is that it will be difficult to find a technician right now.

Let me know if the reset works.

Regards.

Has no power

If your microwave oven doesn't seem to work at all, check these: Fuses Usually, when your microwave oven doesn't work it all, the internal fuse (thermal fuse) is blown. This fuse protects both you and the oven. When it blows, you need to have a qualified appliance repair technician replace it. Door switch If the fuse isn't the problem, check the door hooks and the door-release button. When these are broken, the door switch doesn't activate, so the oven can't work.

Recheck you breaker. Turn it off and then turn it back on a couple of times. There aren't any fuses in the stoves. If that doesn't work you'll want to call an electrician to check your plug and breaker. Good luck.Please rate me so I know how I'm doing. Thanks
