FULL SIZE GAS CONVECTION OVENS - SERVICE PROCEDURES AND ADJUSTMENTS
SERVICE PROCEDURES AND ADJUSTMENTS
Certain procedures in this section require electrical test or measurements while power is
applied to the machine. Exercise extreme caution at all times. If test points are not easily accessible,
disconnect power and follow lockout / tagout procedures, attach test equipment and reapply power to
test.
SOLID STATE TEMPERATURE
CONTROL CALIBRATION
(VC4GD/6GD)
1. Place a thermocouple in the geometric center of
the oven cavity.
2. Set the ON-OFF-COOL DOWN switch to ON.
3. Set the temperature control dial to 350°F.
4. Allow the oven temperature to stabilize
(normally 3 cycles).
5. Record the temperature at which the Heat lamp
goes OFF and comes ON for at least two
complete heating cycles.
6. Calculate the differential by subtracting the
temperature indicated when the lamp goes out
from the temperature indicated when the lamp
comes on.
A. The differential calculated should be less
than 20 °F.
1) If the differential is less than 20 °F, the
temperature control circuit is
functioning properly.
a. Proceed to step 7.
2) If the differential is more than 20 °F:
a. Check the temperature probe as
outlined under TEMPERATURE
PROBE TEST (VC4GD/6GD).
b. If the probe is functioning
properly then temperature control
is malfunctioning.
a) Install a replacement
temperature control and
check calibration.
7. Calculate the average temperature by adding
the temperature indicated when the lamp goes
out to the temperature indicated when the lamp
comes on and dividing this answer by 2.
A. If the average temperature is less than
10 °F from the dial setting, the thermostat
is properly calibrated.
B. If the average temperature is more than
10 °F from the dial setting, the thermostat
calibration must be adjusted.
1) Loosen the temperature control knob
set screw and remove the knob from
the stem.
2) Loosen temperature control mounting
screws only enough to rotate the
control.
a. Place thumb and forefinger on
the head of the mounting screws,
apply pressure and slightly rotate
the screw heads (body of control)
in the slot. Rotate clockwise to
increase temperature and
counterclockwise to decrease.
b. Center the stem in the opening
and re-tighten the temperature
control mounting screws.
c. Replace knob and re-tighten set
screw .
d. Rotate the knob to the lowest
temperature setting then back to
350°F.
e. Repeat the average temperature
calculation in step 7.
NOTE: Allow the oven to cycle at
least two times between
adjustments before performing
the calculation.
a) If the average temperature
still differs more than 10 °F
from the dial setting, adjust
the thermostat calibration
until the average
temperature is within
tolerance.
C. If the above adjustment cannot be
obtained, replace the temperature control
and check calibration.

2. Set the ON-OFF-COOL DOWN switch to ON.
3. Set the thermostat dial to 350°F.
4. Allow the oven temperature to stabilize
(normally 3 cycles).
5. Record the temperature when the thermostat
cycles OFF and ON for at least three complete
cycles.
6. Calculate the differential by subtracting the
temperature indicated when heat lamp goes out
from temperature indicated when heat lamp
comes on.
A. The differential calculated should be less
than 30EF.
1) If the differential is less than 30° F, the
thermostat is functioning properly.
NOTE: Allow the oven to cycle at least two times
between adjustments before performing the
calculation.
9. If the above adjustment can not be obtained,
install a replacement thermostat and check
calibration.
a. Proceed to step 7.
2) If the differential is more than 30EF,
the thermostat is malfunctioning.
a. Install a replacement thermostat
and check calibration.
7. Calculate the average temperature by adding
the temperature indicated when the heat lamp
goes out to the temperature indicated when the
heat lamp comes on and dividing this answer by
2.
A. If the average temperature is less than
15EF from the dial setting, the thermostat is
properly calibrated.
B. If the average temperature is more than
15EF of the dial setting, the thermostat
calibration must be adjusted.
1) Remove the thermostat knob.
2) Hold the thermostat shaft and turn the
inner set screw clockwise to decrease
temperature or counterclockwise to
increase temperature (1/4 turn =
35EF).
8. Replace the knob and repeat step 7 until the
average temperature is within tolerance.
SOLID STATE TEMPERATURE
CONTROL TEST (VC4GD/6GD)
1. Remove the right side panel as outlined under
COVERS AND PANELS in REMOVAL AND
REPLACEMENT OF PARTS.
NOTE: If right side panel is not accessible, this
component can be serviced by removing the control
panel as outlined under COVERS AND PANELS.
2. Place a thermocouple in the geometric center of
the oven cavity.
NOTE: Oven temperature must be below 450°.
NOTE: If oven is equipped with the Roast and Hold
option, turn it to Normal ROAST (normal cooking)
before continuing.
3. Set the temperature control to the maximum
setting.

4. Check machine data plate for correct voltage to
oven. Refer to diagram below for proper
terminal locations and voltages before checking
the control. Use the correct terminals for the
corresponding voltage.
5. Turn the ON-OFF-COOL DOWN switch to ON.
6. Check for proper voltage across terminals 8 & 9
(120VAC) or terminals 8 & 10 (208-240VAC) for
power to the control.
A. If correct, proceed to step 7.
B. If incorrect, problem is not with the
temperature control (See troubleshooting
section).
7. Check relay voltages on the board:
A. For 120VAC controls - check across
terminals 7 & 9 for input to the internal
relay and 6 & 9 for output from the internal
relay.
B. For 208-240VAC controls - check across
terminals 7 & 10 for input to the internal
relay and 6 & 10 for output from the
internal relay.
1) If input voltage to the internal relay is
correct, proceed to step 8. If input
voltage to the internal relay is not
present, problem is not with the
temperature control (See
troubleshooting section).
2) If output voltage from the internal
relay is correct proceed to step 8. If
output voltage from the internal relay
is not correct, check temperature
probe as outlined under
TEMPERATURE PROBE TEST
(VC4GD/6GD).
8. Set the temperature control to the minimum
setting.
NOTE: Oven temperature must be above 300°F.
9. Check for zero (0) volts AC across terminals 6 &
9 (120VAC) or 6 & 10 (208-240VAC) for no
output from the internal relay.
A. If correct, temperature control is
functioning properly.
B. If incorrect, check temperature probe as
outlined under TEMPERATURE PROBE
TEST (VC4GD/6GD).
1) If temperature probe is ok, replace the
temperature control and check
calibration as outlined under SOLID
STATE TEMPERATURE CONTROL
CALIBRATION (VC4GD/6GD).
TEMPERATURE PROBE TEST
(VC4GD/6GD)
NOTE: The temperature probe used in conjunction
with the Solid State Temperature control is an RTD
(resistance temperature detector) of the Thermistor
type. As temperature increases the resistance value
decreases.
1. Remove the right side panel as outlined under
COVERS AND PANELS in REMOVAL AND
REPLACEMENT OF PARTS.
NOTE: If right side panel is not accessible, this
component can be serviced by removing the control
panel as outlined under COVERS AND PANELS.
2. Place a shielded thermocouple in the geometric
center of the oven cavity and determine the
temperature in the oven cavity.
3. Remove the probe lead wires from the solid
state temperature control.
4. Test the probe with an ohmmeter.
A. If the measured resistance values are
inside the given tolerance then the probe is
functioning properly.
B. If the measured resistance values are
outside the given tolerance then replace
the probe and retest.
1) Check oven for proper operation.
