This is an old electric powered oven. Ive never touched the timer but it is giving off a noise like low boiling water. The transformer is hot to the touch. Disconnected power to oven and noise stopped. I assume that when the timer and oven are off that the transformer should not be hot? I assume something has shorted?
The transformer will likely be hot all the time as it's always switched on.
Does it have a mechanical timer or clock?
the following 2 links are pics of the front and back of timer
it has a minute timer which appears to be mechanical and stop and start dial.
The motor is making noise. Eventually it will stop but there's nothing dangerous. The motor or just the rotor/gear module - the silver part on the right hand side of
- can be lubed or replaced (if you can find one).
