Magic Chef Oven & Broiler electric issue
Hello,
I have a double oven & broiler oven for the last 20 years (Never a problem) but last night we had a storm and the lights went out for a few mins, everything came back on but my oven, the display, inside lights bulbs do not lit up and I cannot turn the gas on. Any idea on what is going on? |

Any idea on what is going on? Let me think about this one. The power went out briefly and you can't turn on the gas. |

Any idea on what is going on? The clock is digital but to turn the gas and the lights inside the oven are manual, the lights (has a press button) the Gas (has a knob to increase or decrease the gas) |

Any idea on what is going on? Could have been a power surge. Don't just look at the breaker, turn it off and then back on. Sometimes it will look OK but be internally tripped. If the breaker is ok and you still have no response, it is possible the controller is cooked. |

Any idea on what is going on? You may just simply have to cycle the electrical power to the oven. If there is a plug, unplug it then plug it back in after 10 seconds or so. If there is a circuit breaker feeding power to the oven, turn it off for a 10 count then turn it back on. Power hiccups can really screw up digital electronic/microprocessor controlled appliances. ヽ(ヅ)ノ [8~{} Uncle Baked Monster |

The EPROM gets corrupted temporarily. It happens in irrigation controllers, garage door openers and the like. Just a short instance. Power off and power it up. |

I can see how electronics in general can get disturbed, put into some unexpected state. But I don't see how an ERPOM, once corrupted, ever rights itself. |

You may be thinking of the microcontroller having to reload the program from the EPROM. I programmed a lot of early digital equipment by flipping switches to input ones and zeros and I don't mean the WWII Jap fighter planes. At home I have UPS units all over the house on computer equipment, even desk lamps in case of a power outage but sometimes a power burp will cause the microwave oven to lose its mind and I have to unplug it then plug it back in. ヽ(ヅ)ノ [8~{} Uncle Power Monster |

Let the next read of the EPROM readin' take place? The EPROM is there for a reason. "You libs" missed when I said temporary. |

Let the next read of the EPROM readin' take place? The EPROM is there for a reason. "You libs" missed when I said temporary. Eprom functions by trapping charge in cells. Yes, it's there for a reason, for permanent storage of programs, parameters, and data. There is no way possible that I know of to corrupt it and have it return to normal. Once the data there is corrupted, it's gone. Static RAM, dynamic RAM, sequential state machines, you could get those into a corrupted state and recover by replacing what was stored in memory, resetting the SS machine. Funny how everything is now about "libs", that anytime anyone questions anything and you disagree, it's suddenly because they are a lib. Are you now a true trumptard? |

I don't know why these people put out products like this. They are connected to a dirty power line and should be able to deal with it! |

Any idea on what is going on? Thank y'all... I turn the main fuse off for several minutes and nothing... I still have no power to the digital clock display, nor to the light bulb, not even to lit up the sensor for the gas, the whole seams dead but I did notice while touching some of the cables that go to the Stove Oven Safety Valve, by mistake the screw driver touch one of the cable to the ground and the fuse went out/off. I guess there is some electricity going in? |
