HEATING ELEMENTS TEST
Disconnect the
electrical power to the machine and
follow lockout / tagout procedures.
NOTE: On 208V/240V broilers, the two heat controls
are Infinite load switches; On 480V broilers, the two
heat controls are 4 Position 3 Heat switches.
1. Access the
HEATING ELEMENTS.
2. Reconnect power to machine.
3. Set broiler heat control switches to the highest
setting.
4. Measure the voltage at the heating element
terminals and verify it against the data plate
voltage.
A. If voltage is incorrect, see
TROUBLESHOOTING.
B. If voltage is correct, check current draw
(amps) through the heating element lead
wires at the X and Z phases on the outlet
side of the broiler terminal block. The X
phase value is the current draw for the left
element and the Z phase value is the current
draw for the right element.
See machine information tables under
SPECIFICATIONS for proper current draw
values and the appropriate 208/240V -
WIRING DIAGRAM or 480V - WIRING
DIAGRAM for heating element phase
connections.
NOTE: Checking current draw is the preferred
method over a resistance check when a clamp on type
amp meter is available.
1) If both measured values are
approximately the same as listed in the
machine information table, then
heating elements are functioning
properly.
2) If one or both of the measured values
do not agree with the values listed in
the machine information table, then
heating element is malfunctioning.
Turn broiler control switches OFF.
Disconnect the
electrical power to the machine and
follow lockout / tagout procedures.
a. Install a replacement heating
element then proceed to step 2.
C. If unable to check current draw, a resistance
check (ohms) at heating element terminals
may indicate a malfunctioning element.
1) Remove lead wires from the heating
element and check resistance. See
machine information tables under
SPECIFICATIONS for proper
resistance values at room
temperature.
a. If resistance is incorrect, install a
replacement heating element.
b. If resistance is correct, heating
element has tested okay. If
heating element is still suspect,
see TROUBLESHOOTING.
5. Check broiler for proper operation.
