Baxter Deck Oven Troubleshooting
Commercial ovens are great for baking breads, pizzas and more. But if they lack the heat needed to cook dough to the perfect temperature, then there could be an issue with the unit. When problems like this arise, it can’t be left ignored. A remedy is easy to find when you look to Parts Town for Baxter deck oven troubleshooting tips.
Baxter Deck Oven Not Heating
The whole purpose of an oven is to heat up and cook product. When a Baxter oven stops heating up, it could be because of the following issues:
- Unit doesn’t have power - Check that the power switch is on, the power cord is plugged in and that the circuit breaker is also turned on if the unit lacks power.
- Temperature hasn’t been set - An oven needs to be set to the proper temperature setting to heat up and cook. Try adjusting as needed if you notice the oven isn’t heating or if it’s overheating.
- High limit is tripped - A high limit is vital to prevent an oven from overheating. If it’s been tripped, it’ll stop the oven from heating all together. Contact an authorized service technician to remedy this.
- Heating elements or temperature sensors are defective - Parts can wear out over time or even be defective from the start. If this is the cause of the oven keeping cool, you’ll need to contact an authorized service technician.
Baxter Deck Oven Not Turning On
An oven can’t cook if it won’t power on. Try checking the following for the cause:
- Unit isn’t plugged in - Even if you press the power button, it won’t turn on with the power cord unplugged. Make sure to check the outlet if you notice the unit is lacking power.
- Internal fuse FT1 or FT2 is defective - A blown internal fuse could be the cause. Contact an authorized service technician to remedy the issue.
- Control board or key switch is defective - In order to power on the unit, the control board and key switch need to be functioning. If they’re faulty, contact an authorized service technician.
Baxter Deck Oven Not Steaming
When you start to notice the oven’s not steaming, then the following issues could be reason:
- Water supply is closed - Creating steam requires water be available. So if the water line is off, open the valve to get the unit steaming again.
- Steam ready LED isn’t on - The oven can signal that it’s ready for steam via an LED. If it isn’t on, give the unit time to recover.
- Water supply hose is kinked - A kink or clamp to the water supply line will create a block. Check along the hose to relieve the kink.
- Steam button or elements are defective - The button and elements are essential in generating steam. If either has failed, contact an authorized service technician to remedy the issue.
- Steam pipe or connections are scaled - Depending on specific water conditions, scale build up can occur. This can be taken care of by an authorized service technician.
- Solenoid valve is defective - Faulty parts prevent operations. If the solenoid valve is the cause, contact an authorized service technician.
Baxter Deck Oven Chamber Not Venting
The oven cavity needs to vent in order to operate properly. It might now be able to do so due to the following causes:
- Linkage to the vent is defective - If any of the links are damaged, the unit won’t be able to vent. Contact an authorized service technician to fix it.
- Vent is obstructed - A blockage can prevent the oven from fully venting. Contact an authorized service technician to locate and resolve the obstruction.
Baxter Deck Oven Has Water in the Baking Chamber
While it can have steam inside, it cannot have water. Otherwise it could create a bigger issue. Try checking for the following causes:
- Too much steam is being produced - Excessive steam can cause condensation to form inside the chamber. The time or quantity will need to be adjusted to fix this.
- Drain hose is obstructed - A blockage will prevent the water from draining. Check the hose for possible kinks or other obstructions.
- Solenoid valves or flow regulators are defective - Faulty parts prevent operations. If the solenoid valve or flow regulator is the cause, contact an authorized service technician.
