My Jennair oven is taking forever to heat up and has difficulty holding temp.

I just put the voltmeter across the terminals and find that it is only pulling about 115Vdc, which would explain the problem.

Any idea why it would be doing this? Is there a fuse that could've blown taking out one leg of the 240V?

Thanks,

Ian

My bad. Typo. I meant 115 V-AC.

I am in Canada, not that that matters much I suspect. Same as US.

Tried resetting the breaker. No difference.

Will call a Sparky and get it done right.

Thanks,

just to make sure we are all on the "same page"

the "breaker" is actually 2 breakers with their handles tied together and you switched them both together off and on...

correct?

the "breaker" is a double breaker with a single throw switch. I believe it would be a 2 pole single throw breaker. It's a SCHNEIDER ELECTRIC - SQUARE D
Double Pole 40 Amp QO Plug-On Circuit Breaker.

Simple enough.


That type of breaker must be firmly flipped into the off position to make sure both contacts reset. You may have to flip it on and off a few times making sure push the lever hard enough into the off position until you hear it click. ^_^
