Hobart Toaster Wiring Diagram Needed ASAP
Hi. I have a Hobart ET27-4 commercial grade 4-slice toaster. It is a
208/240 volt model. The only way I can get it to toast anything in any of the 4 slots is to push both levers down. I should be able to toast 2 slices at once, im pretty sure. Im thinking it is just wired wrong and am looking for a wiring diagram. Any help HIGHLY appreciated. TIA |

TIA It sounds like the netural wire if disconnected somewhere. The toaster may only use 110 per side and not 220 to run the elements, pushing both levers down completes the circuit by applying 220 across both elements making them heat up. Another test you could do is check the case to a known ground like a screw on an outlet or a copper water pipe with a meter while only one side is pushed down. If there is any measureable voltage, the netural is floating and the unit is unsafe for use. The problem could be either the outlet is incorrectly wired or the wiring in the unit is faulty. |

Turns out, the spade lug connector for the ground wire of the AC mains wasnt crimped on properly, and had "let go" of the wire itself inside the toaster's terminal block. Floating ground. No reference. Not good. Such an easy fix. My face is red and the toast is brown. Thank you all again. |
