Hobart slicer 2912. The slicer works fine on manual but the automatic mode has stopped working. thinking it may be the motor but not sure,,, any idea on how to identify the part that needs changing?

Hi Sam-
I found this link.
https://www.hobart.com.mx/pdf/ManualOper/F31199.pdf
On page 20, it talks about "Emergency Tray Operation"-both Electrical Tray Operation and Manual Tray Operation.

Hope this helps.

Check if the circulation motor /fan which blows air around the inside is working . It is located near the top of the refer. also check if air is circulating in the freezer there is a main fan in there which sends cold air from the freezer to the refer. If either fan wears out sometimes it runs for a while and sometimes not. the motor chatters sometimes before it dies. I have had defroster control timers go bad, causing this problem too, because the refer goes into defrost cycle and doesn't go back to refrigerate mode till the defrost cycle is over. if the timer clock stops it will do the same thing, and not go in to refer mode. Good luck, Bill

If the Damper Switch loose contact will couse this problem,try to clean the contact of the damper switch and damper motor .

I have the exact same meat slicer & I would love to know what those plastic scescrews are for. Did you ever figure it out? The instruction book doesn't even mention them.

Bronte,
Did you ever get a manual for your Ronson food slicer, model 87003?
I have 1 of these slicers & am needing a manual as well.

To operate the slicer in Automatic mode . . . Rotate the Speed Selector Knob to the desired speed; make sure the Carriage is in HOME position (all the way forward); make sure the Lever is on the Manual position (pointing down); turn the slicer on; start the carriage drive unit by rotating the Lever to the Automatic position (up and to the right). Either of the two speed selections can be used to begin Automatic mode. The speed can be adjusted at any time by rotating the Speed Selector Knob. To stop the drive unit, rotate the Lever down and to the left - to the Manual position. ------------ If you slicer is set on proper automatic mode and still not running on automatic mode then the problem relates to internal motor or the selector knob. But try reset before this. Push the reset button underneath the slicer near the right-front foot if the carriage motor overloads. The reset helps in some problems.But if its not helping then internal connections of selector knob has to be checked.Of the same with motor,the connections of motor to the selector for automatic mode has to be checked.---------------- This will help.Thanks.Helpmech.'

I bought a faberware V-blade Mandoline slicer and I would like to have an instruction manual for the blade usage please

This 59-second stop failure is due to a problem in one of the damper-related components, most likely the switch, but it may also be the motor or the damper door.

The damper is a door inside that opens or closes depending on cooking mode. If the controller thinks that the door is not in the right position, it will shut down the cook cycle.

It sounds just like the magnetron is bad, overheating and opening the thermostat. This is how it would work if that were the case.

 

One other thing is to be sure that the cooling fan is running and that you feel air flow.

 

You should check the air filter and grille, as well as the outside vent for any blockage.
