Bluestar startup - dead range ??
| | |
Posted by fall (My Page) on Sat, Nov 7, 09 at 8:25
| When you hook up a bluestar freestanding range..and plug it in, should the electric work? Mine, nothing happens (light, fan, ignitors). We just hooked it up, it was a new range plopped into place when they sold the house. I hooked up the gas and plugged it in, but nothing. Is there a "mystery" switch somewhere? The gas works fine which I expected being it is just a bunch of valves. |

| No switch on my just plug it in. I think I remember it saying in the install manual NOT to put it on a ground fault plug ( you might have a ground fault breaker ) . I was cleaning mine this morning and I noticed the data tag it said 8 amps max req so it needs a very small breaker. |

| It is just a regular circuit w/o ground fault protection. I guess I am stumped. |

| Did you try plugging something else into that outlet just to make sure it's not the outlet that's "dead"? |

| Mystery solved...thanks for making me double check !!!! That was the first thing I did was to check the outlet with a toaster and it worked fine. When I plugged the stove in it did not work which baffled me. So then I took the rear panel off and all the connections where good there too. When double checking all this again, I accidently bumped into the stove cord and I heard the stove "start up." So, it was the outlet, it prongs were worn out and did not have enough pressure on them. When I pushed the cord in the outlet to the left and right I heard the stove start up and turn off. I will change the outlet to a new one. |
