GE Spectra Range Electronics display unit bad... Next Step

Dec 16, 2005 3 Replies

Hi, All.. Using the method suggested by Matt Roberds, I determined that I need a small power transformer (the bad one was mounted to the control unit pc board) that has the following specifications (or close to them): Primary:



115 vac Secondary: 8 vac, center tapped (4 vac + 4 vac). I've looked around at some surplus sites (All Electronics, Digikey, Allied, B.G. Micro, etc. but haven't been able to find one with those spec's. I can mount the xfmr on the stove chassis and run the leads to the pcb; just can't find an xfmr. Using the variac and a 24 vac xfmr, the unit came alive at about 3 vac and became active at 3.75 vac and very bright clock readout at 4 vac. Does anyone have any suggestions where I could find one in the range of 300 ma to 1000 ma? Thanks for any assistance!!

Does the existing transformer have an open frame? Does the primary have continuity? If so you might want to consider rewinding the secondary.

Or consider getting a 16V CT transformer with a 220 primary and running it on 110.
