2 Operation
2.1 Element Duty Cycles
A new PID algorithm controls the way in which the elements cycle on and off during each cooking mode duty cycle. Every minute, the oven temperature is compared to the set point and a recalculation occurs, which results in varied element cycle times rather than the standard fixed 60-second cycle.
During Preheat, however, a 2-point control is still used and there is a defined element on-time. The following table reflects the duration and start point by Preheat mode, for cavity types A, B, and C.
Technicians should have ample time to troubleshoot element problems during the ~10-minute preheat period.
Table 3 Element duty cycles during preheat by cavity type.

Based on a single 60-second cycle during Preheat
2.1.1 Using Table 3 (Element Duty Cycles During Preheat)
In Table 3, Duration is defined as the number of seconds an element is turned on (e.g., 12 indicates the element will be on for 12 seconds.) Start Point is defined as the point in the cycle at which the element will turn on (e.g., 30 indicates the element will turn on in the 30th second of the cycle).
Using the data in the table, below is an example of how the elements cycle on and off during a 60-second Preheat cycle in True Convection mode (see Cavity C):
HBL8450UC built in 01/2008 (see columns labeled -1-)
- Bake Element: After initial 30 seconds of the cycle, element turns on and remains on for the final 30 seconds of the cycle.
- Ring Element: After initial 30 seconds of the cycle, element turns on and remains on for the final 30 seconds of the cycle (same as Bake Element).
- Broil Element: Turns on at the beginning of the cycle (0) and remains on for the first 30 seconds of the cycle.
HBL8450UC built in 08/2008 (see columns labeled -2-)
- Bake Element: After initial 33 seconds of the cycle, element turns on and remains on for the final 27 seconds of the cycle.
- Ring Element: After initial 36 seconds of the cycle, element turns on and remains on for the final 24 seconds of the cycle.
- Broil Element: Turns on at the beginning of the cycle (0) and remains on for the first 27 seconds of the cycle.
In Fast Preheat (available in cavities B and C with convection fan), the same elements reflected in the table are used, but the broil element is on ~10% longer, and the convection fan stays on as well.
It is important to note that during regulation (regular cooking period that follows Preheat), different elements may be used and element duty cycles will vary.
2.2 Sequence of Events
Figures 2 – 5 reflect the sequence of events which occur during Preheat for the various cooking modes.
Figure 2 Sequence of Events during Preheat: Convection Bake & Roast/ Bake, Roast, Warm, Proof, Pizza, Pie, & Sabbath modes
Figure 3 Sequence of Events during Preheat: Convection Broil/Broil modes
Figure 4 Sequence of Events during Preheat: True Convection
Figure 5 Sequence of Events during Preheat: Self-clean mode
2.3 Cooling Fans
Cooling fans will run for two minutes after the oven has been shut off, regardless of the oven temperature. After two minutes, the fan will continue to run until the interior temperature of the cavity reaches a maximum of 350°.
(Early models were programmed with a lower shut-off temperature, which resulted in a longer running time for the cooling fan.)

4.4 High Temperature Cutout (HTC)
The HTC is a normally closed switch which will interrupt the relay supply voltage in the event of a high temperature event caused by a malfunctioning control module.
The HTC is located in the plenum, behind and to the left of the MDL. Although it cannot be easily removed or replaced, a screwdriver can be used to reach the reset button located on the top center of the HTC after the latch plate has been removed.
4.5 Convection Fan and Ring Element
All models except the HBL33/HBN33 and the lower cavity of the HBL56/HBN56 and HBL35/HBN35 models, which have a thermal oven cavity, are configured with convection capabilities in the upper and/or lower ovens. The HBL34/HBN34 and HBL35/HBN35 models have a convection fan only, and the remaining models with convection cavities have both a convection fan and a convection (also called a "ring" or "3rd") element, which gives the ovens true (or genuine European) convection capability.
Depending on the cooking mode selected, the fan may be used, with or without the ring element, to circulate heat evenly throughout the cavity in various cooking modes.
The ring element (240V 2000W) and/or fan blade are easily accessed on the rear wall of the oven cavity behind the convection baffle. The convection fan motor is accessible only from the rear of the unit.
Refer to the Element Strip Diagram to test the element at the control module, or
- Remove 2 T20 screws on either side of the element terminals.
- Pull the element toward you so that terminal wires are inside the oven cavity.
- Disconnect the wires from the terminals.
- Use an ohmmeter to check for resistance of ~29 ohms.
4.6 Temperature Sensor
Use an ohmmeter to check the resistance of the sensor. Normal ranges (based on cavity temperature) are shown in Table 5.
Table 5 Normal temperature sensor resistance readings temperature
TEMP. (°F) | RESISTANCE |
32 ±1.9 | 1000 ± 4.0 |
75 ±2.5 | 1091 ± 5.3 |

Real-time cavity and probe temperatures can be measured while in Service Mode (refer to the section entitled Service Mode or the Service Guide for instructions). After entering Service mode, advance through the HBL8, HBL5/HBN5 menu options by pressing FAST PREHEAT until the Oven temp or Probe temp option is reached. On the HBL3/HBN3 models, press TEMP to advance through the menu.
4.6.1 Setting Temperature Offsets
In some cases, it may be necessary to adjust the oven temperature if food is consistently under- or over-cooked. Temperature offsets can be entered by the customer from the Customer Settings or Setup menu to raise or lower the cavity temperature during Bake, Convection Bake, Roast, Convection Roast, and Speed Convection modes (all heating modes which operate between 250°F and 550°F).
A +25° offset will result in a cavity temperature of 350° when the temperature knob is set to 325° for any of the cooking modes listed above. Similarly, a -25° offset will result in a cavity temperature of 300° when the temperature knob is set to 325°.
The adjusted temperature cannot be less than 250°F or greater than 550°F.

4.10 Power Supply Module
The power supply module (9.6V 12.5W) provides DC voltage to the control module and user interface.
4.11 Halogen Light Transformer(s)
One transformer (120V-12V 40VA) is utilized per cavity. Triac switches 120 VAC to the transformer. There are 4 terminals on the new transformer, as shown in Figure 16.
The resistance between the primary terminals should measure ~12.8 ohms and the resistance between the secondary terminals should measure ~0.32 ohms.
Figure 17 Halogen light transformer
4.12 Convection Fan Motor
The convection fan motor is 120V 29W. To test the motor, check for 120V across X105 / Pin 2 (upper/single) or X205 / Pin 1 (HBL8650) and chassis ground or neutral.
The motor is accessible from the rear, after removing the rear outer sheet metal panel.
- Disconnect the 2 wires from the motor terminals.
- Remove 3 T20 screws from the arms of the motor assembly.
- Use a tap and a hammer to dislodge the assembly from the clips that secure it to the rear of the unit. (Position tap on the arm secured by the rightmost clip.)
4.13 Bake Element (Upper Oven)
Refer to the Strip Element Diagram to test the element (240V 2000W) at the control module, or disconnect the wires from the terminals and use a meter to check for a reading of ~29 ohms.
To clear a path for removing the bake element, it is necessary to remove the vertical air channel(s) and disconnect wires. Before proceeding, note the position of the wires.
4.13.1 Removing the Bake Element
- Pull wires out of plastic purse locks attached to upper and lower vertical air channels.
- Remove upper air channel (4 T20 screws).
- To create a pathway for the bake element, disconnect OR wires from upper and lower bake element terminals; YE from convection element terminals, BU/WH, BU, and WH from cooling fan motor.
- Drape the wires/harnesses to the side so they do not block the element as it is pulled out.
- Remove the screw between the element terminals.
4.13.2 Reinstalling the Bake Element
There are 2 tabs inside the element cavity, and the front tab will prevent the element from going in all the way. Use a ruler or the vertical air channel (after removing plastic purse locks) as a tool to guide the element back in.
- Place the tool inside the cavity, on top of the tab, then insert the element on top of the tool and slide it in.
- After the element is beyond the front tab, remove the tool.
- Complete the installation.
- Replace the plastic purse locks clips if they were removed from the vertical air channel.
4.14 Cooling Fan Motor (Upper Oven)
Each 2-speed cooling fan (120V 28/41W) has 3 terminals (high speed, low speed, and neutral) and a Hall effect sensor. There is tape around the motor windings and the terminals are labeled N, H, and L for reference, as shown in Figure 18.
Figure 18 Tape on cooling fan windings marked to designate terminals
If the Hall effect sensor does not detect fan rotation, an error will display. To test the upper fan at the control module, check voltage across X105 / Pin 3 or 4 and neutral.

- Low Voltage Wiring Path
- 1- Check time sync signal between Control Module and User Interface. (See *Note on item C&D in the fault tree diagram for special considerations.)
- If this voltage is steady and unchanging, disconnect User Interface and re-measure. If still steady, change the Control Module.
- If steady when attached to the User Interface, change the User Interface.
- Parallel Step - Check for 208/240V
- Safety First. Verify ground and only attempt if you are certain about operation.
- 1- See circle Fault Tree Diagram for voltage and pin measurement points at step 1.
- Safety First. There are live terminals in the area of measurement.
- Reset oven power.
- Possibilities:
- Fixes problem: software upgrade needed (most probable).
- Does not fix problem: hardware issue (less common).
- Replace User Interface and retest electrical path.
- Replace User Interface.
- Failure at any step: replace that component and retest electrical path.
Please note: Instructions document necessary steps for a single oven. For a double oven, both oven cavity circuits need to be checked for proper operation and voltage.
