1. Electric Rotisserie
In this category fall many of the broiler / baker / toaster ovens now on the market. Electrically these units consist of a thermostat and one or two heating elements. Some of them contain a motor to rotate a spit as well. The rotisserie may encompasses a timer in addition to a thermostat and two heating elements. You should note that all current must pass through the timer—hence the timer must be on in order for any portion of the rotisserie to function. A bake button controls the lower element and a grill button controls the upper element. A rotis button operates the drive motor and upper element, and the temperature knob controls the thermostat. Consider a unit rated at 115V, 1500W. it draws 1200W on the lower element and 1350W on the upper element. Begin by making an operational test. Remove the griddle and tray so that the elements can be observed. Place an oven thermometer on the rack in the center of the oven. Then close the front and lid doors. Turn the timer on and engage the bake button. Set the temperature control knob to 300°F. The indicator light should go on to indicate power to the element. When the light goes off, the cycle is completed. After several cycles, the temperature reading should be between 275° and 320°F. There can be an overshoot of 100° on the first cycle. If an adjustment is required, turn the control knob to the correct temperature range, loosen the set screw in the knob, and position the knob at 300°F. As a double-check, make an additional temperature test at 450°F. To disassemble, pull or pry off the timer knob. Then loosen the set screw and remove temperature control knob. The nameplate is secured by a screw located under the timer knob. Take out the screw securing the thermostat to the side panel. It is located on the right side of the temperature control shaft. Remove the 5 screws holding the left side panel to the chassis. Pry the panel off from the back so as to slide off the temperature control shaft in the front. The Hoover rotisserie employs a manual timer with an electrical switch. The switch can be tested with an ohmmeter, or it can be eliminated from the circuit by bypassing it with a jumper wire. The drive motor in the rotisserie shown (and in many others) is replaced as a unit. This motor should not require any additional lubricant. If a lubricant is added it must have a high temperature range due to the heat from the oven. Use one of the silicone greases in this area. To replace the thermostat, disconnect the lead wires and remove the thermostat from its mounting bracket. Save the old control shaft since it is not a part of the replacement thermostat. Install the thermostat with metal-to-metal contact on the mounting bracket. Mica washers are used behind the bracket. Place the control shaft into the thermostat. Calibration is now lost. Install the left side panel. With the timer on and the Bake button in, connect an ohmmeter or wattmeter to the cord. Turn the control shaft until the on-off positions are established. Then install the temperature control knob at the lowest setting and proceed with temperature test to calibrate the stat. The elements can be removed by disconnecting the wiring and sliding the elements off of their supports. Test with a wattmeter per specifications given above. Inspect the insulators for cracking, chipping, or other signs of deterioration, Hoover is a bit unusual since the company offers replacement chassis assemblies complete with sides, bottom, back panel, and all riveted parts. Most small-appliance makers do not supply major structural parts.
