Is this a half oven, double oven, or the single oven?

Hi
This means a loose/broken wire on the oven temp sensor or the sensor is bad and should be replaced. To solve this issue start by checking the oven temp. sensor for 1100 ohms, if the rating is more then that then the thermostat is bad and should be replaced. Hope this helps...please post back for further assistance.

Hi
The part# for Thermostat for GH series vulcan oven is Vulcan #407522-1. You can buy the thermostat from this link---

Hope this helps... Please post back with complete model# if you need more information. Daniel

have you checked the ignitor by doing an ampere test on the wires going to the ignitor should be drawing 3-3.3 amps any less then this would constitute a weak ignitor and the flame would light and go out or light late or not in time if you have any futher questions message me back and please remember to rank how this opinion has helped it allows me to help others in similar situations you can perform the ampere test with a multimeter Thanks Rick

Many modern gas stoves, ovens, furnaces, and other similar appliances use an electronic ignition rather than a continuously burning pilot flame to ignite the fuel. These are actually simple high voltage pulse generators.

• Where starting is manual (there is a 'start' position on the control(s), a set of switch contacts on the control(s) provides power to the ignition module.
  
  • A problem of no spark with only one control indicates that the fault is with it or its wiring.
    
  • A problem with continuous sparking even with all the controls off or in their normal positions indicates a short - either due to a defective switch in one of the controls or contamination bypassing the switch contacts.
  
  
• Where starting is automatic, an electronic sensor, thermocouple, or bimetal switch provides power to the ignition module as needed.

The Harper-Wyman Model 6520 Kool Lite(tm) module is typical of those found in Jenne-Aire and similar cook-tops. Input is 115 VAC, 4 mA, 50/60 Hz AC. C1 and D1 form a half wave doubler resulting in 60 Hz pulses with a peak of about 300 V and at point A and charges C2 to about 300 V through D2. R2, C3, and DL1 form a relaxation oscillator triggering SCR1 to dump the charge built up on C2 into T1 with a repetition rate of about 2 Hz.

it works on single phase also but .this is not advisable as the flow of current is same in both 3 phase or single phase. but the unit takes more time to cook on single phase then 3 phase.and in many cases it has seen that single phase cannot hold the flowing current and unit gets short in between.but there are many users who use single phase in this unit.it works but its risky. This will help. Thanks please keep updated.please do rate the solution positively .thank you for using fixya

Hi,

Please download the use mannual from the link provided bellow to understand in clarity whats the timing for slow and normal fan speed.

Let us know if you need further clarification.

Thanks

pilot sensing device should have tip in the flame only, calibration of thermostat possible with butto removed, if standing pilot is going out possible thermocouple or pilot generator or gas valve bad! could also be a safety hi limit opening in control circuit if has one?
