advantium

Well when Pat finished cooking a dish in the advantium last night and it shut off, it really shut off.

No power at all. CB is OK. line is OK.

Made an appointment with GE for tomorrow morning.

I still feel it's something simple. Just can't figure it out.

Was she cooking with the oven function or the microwave? If the oven was hot, then there is a safety device that shuts the oven off if it over heats. Ours failed and when it does nothing works. We now run the exhaust fan whenever we are using the oven function. The exhaust fan is supposed to come on when the oven gets hot, but that item does not seem to always work.

She was using the oven and we are waiting at this time for the technician to arrive.

I'll let you know.

Well it was the limit switch.
According to the tech it shuts off when the food that is in the oven is just short of ingition.

That being said the food that was being cooked was NOT burnt at all.

Two hundred two dollars later---part was are you ready---------$17-----Tax----$17

Ponch sorry to hear the bad news about your oven. $17.00 for the parts $200.00 for knowing how to put the part in, or was it knowing which part to change?I think i might give up this commerical diven stuff and become a rv tech pay sounds much better .

In my final "career" the boss charged $45.00 an hour for labor for working on light aircraft. At that time (94) RV repair shops were already getting $80 to $95 an hour. :shock:

advantium

i have have had no success with my oven. The cookbook had cake recipes that call for rectangular dishes...but how to do that when you have to use the turntable. chicken breasts baked for one hour wer not done....baked bread 2 hours and gave up....and if the turntable is in the dish just keeps banging...some ovens have racks. 9 months full-timing and I have not been able to Bake one single thing. I hate it. any suggestions? Cyndy

Cyndy; what oven do you have? We have the Advantium and we love it. It's true that we are resticted to the size pan we can use, but we have found the silicon bake wear works very well. We just preheat the oven and it bakes just like a big oven in a house stove. I do recomend that the exhaust fan be run while baking to prevent over heating.

We had the Advantium in our '05 MS, but cooked it. Our fault, not GE, but that's another story!

We replaced it with the GE microwave/convection and prefer it to the Advantium. The microwave/convection oven has 2 racks and the Advantium has zero. We find the racks in the oven are more useful to us than the speed light that's in the Advantium. The racks also allow you to use larger pans, as the racks to not rotate with the turntable.

Ever try to bake/heat multiple items in an oven with no racks?! :-)

Advantium

Now I am wondering if I could just get a rack from another model and use that? And why does the stupid bok call for rectangular pans for cakes when it is impossible to use them...grr. I feel a call to GE coming on. Cyndy

I'm like the Dave and Barb on this....I use silicone bakeware in my Advantium. I also use an odd shaped corning ware dish for things that call for a 13"X9" pan.....the dish is more square about 10"x10" but could use a little larger. It took some practice...but I'm finally good at it!

We have the 1- rack GE Micro/Convection. It has 4 clips to mount. I can use a 9 1/2" X 13" cookie sheet on it.

I've seen metal cabinet shelving that you might be able to use. It would need to sit outside of the turntable, unless it's removable. But you just never know you might stumble across one in a Kitchen Outlet store or Bed, Bath and Beyond or even at a Lowe's.

The 10"x10" dish is corning. For cakes I use my silicone bundt...also have cupcake silicone bakeware. Remember too, you may use the round metal pan that comes with the advantium to cook on as a cookie sheet....it was hard for me to get used to doing that.

AHA! you mean the 10x10 corning dish that I broke! that figures. and wild JOhn that sounds like something an engineer would say.
I did borrow a thermometer that my neighbors swear by and it said the oven is 325 when I have it set at 350. so will try doing that. thank for all the help

For larger dishes I remove the turn table assembly center pin. A large pan then sits directly on the wheeled part but doesn't rotate. That keeps the dish raised off the oven surface so there's no discoloration.

I've cooked many items using this practice and it works like a champ. Since rotation is not a factor you can put in as large a dish that will still allow the door to close.
