What does error F1 mean on TurboChef TORNADO 2 Oven?
If your TurboChef Oven displays the error “F1: Blower Running Status Bad”, ensure that the wall circuit breaker is on and reset it if necessary. If that doesn't resolve the issue, place the oven in the Off State for two minutes, disconnect the plug for at least two minutes, then re-plug the oven and press the OVEN ON soft key.
Why is the blower motor not running when commanded in my TurboChef Oven?
If the blower motor in your TurboChef Oven isn't running when it should, here’s what you can check: 1. Confirm that the motor controller is receiving 208 or 240 VAC (USA) / 230 (Intl) / 200 (Japan) / 220 (Latin America) via pins 2 and 3. If this voltage is absent, rectify the wiring to the motor controller and inspect the fuses. 2. If the correct voltage is present, inspect the control wiring between the motor controller and the I/O control board, paying special attention to the low-voltage wire OR-9.
How to fix a TurboChef TORNADO 2 Oven when the thermocouple reads an incorrect temperature?
If your TurboChef oven displays an incorrect temperature due to a thermocouple issue, follow these steps: 1. Check the connection of the thermocouple on the I/O control board. 2. If the connection is good, use an ohmmeter to check if the thermocouple is an open circuit. The cook cavity thermocouple should measure about 4-5 ohms, and the IR thermocouple should measure about 30-40 ohms. Measure at the I/O control board 40-pin connector. 3. If the thermocouple indicates an open circuit, replace the defective thermocouple. If the thermocouple is OK, replace the I/O control board.
What to do if the TurboChef TORNADO 2 Oven cook temperature is too low?
If your TurboChef oven isn't reaching the correct cook temperature, here's what to do: 1. First, make sure the high-limit thermostat hasn't tripped. If it has, reset it and let the oven warm up. 2. If the high-limit thermostat is not tripped, put a small container with water (about 275 ml) in the oven and switch to TEST MODE. Activate the microwave by pressing the MGTRON key. While holding the key, monitor the CC and IR temperatures. If either temperature fluctuates significantly, there might be electrical noise. Check the routing of the thermocouple wires and ensure they aren't near high-voltage parts like the magnetron or transformers. If they are, reroute them. Also, check that both magnetrons are securely mounted.
Why does my TurboChef Oven show 'Heat Rise Low' during warm-up?
If your TurboChef oven displays a 'Heat Rise Low' message during warm-up or self-test, it means the oven isn't heating up quickly enough. Here’s what you should do: 1. First, check if the high-limit thermostat has tripped. If it has, reset it and allow the oven to warm up. 2. If the high-limit thermostat hasn't tripped, check both K4 and K5 SSRs by activating them in TEST MODE (activate HEATER and IR ELE). When activated, the (-) control input of the SSR should go to 0.00 VDC; when not activated, it should read -24.00 VDC. 3. If the control voltage doesn't drop during activation, check the wiring between the SSR and the I/O control board. If the wiring is fine, replace the SSR.
How to troubleshoot no keypad input on a TurboChef Oven?
If the keypad on your TurboChef oven isn't responding, try these steps: 1. Check the keypad ribbon cable that connects to the I/O control board. If the cable or connection is faulty, replace the keypad. 2. If the cable and connection appear to be in good condition, then replace the I/O control board.
