cooking in convection oven last night and the lights flickered and the oven stopped! we are not on a box type plug but a direct wire like a home. what to do to fix it?

Check the breaker. Even if direct wired, it has to have either a circuit breaker, old-fashioned round fuse. or bar type fuse. It is also possible that the direct wire is also on a line with a GFIC somewhere else in the home.

Other then a blown fuse or breaker I'm not sure. My oven finally gave up after a lot of years & heavy use. Mine had no internal fuses. My new house has a Emerson Micro, electric oven so I did not replace the Half Time. It gave me lots of good service. Check to see if you are wired to a GFI circuit.

I would send it back. I have had mine for some time and have had no issues with mine. Sounds like a bad light sensor. Good luck.

Just checked the manual - it said the clock/timer light is only on when the oven is cooking. The light off indicates the oven is not cooking. This is an update to my last answer.

Hi back, sorry about the problems you are having - it sounds bad. I have not had that happen with my machine, so I expect there is a problem with yours. The over heating is worrisome, and that kind of thing has lead to fires in other appliances, so I strongly recommend you return it for a replacement! Best of luck to you. Just read other comments and it sounds like others have had that problem. I only make 1 loaf a week, so have not had to let mine cool down before making another loaf.

There's a fan that blows hot air out from behind the center burner when the oven is on. The fan is only on when the oven is on. So yeah, seems like you're going to have the same problem.

Because the think emits no light and there is no mention of a bulb in the operating instructions, I would say that it must be a heating element of some sort. It is a convection oven and blows super heated air into the container. I see others answered this question and confirmed my assumption.

Mine worked fine. Maybe its the light bulb that needs to be replaced. I don't know how to do that. Return it if you can.

Let me come back with a question. Since bulb replacement appears to be (or is becoming) a major problem, why doesn't SECURA answer this question FOR EVERYBODY themselves, along with a step-by-step procedure for replacement? Make it an open response. The machine's worth it, by the way. A really great oven! BJ

Sorry, I don't. I just installed this but it is supposed to convert bake times and temperatures to suit a convection oven. Still have to see.

Hello, You might try to unplug it from the wall outlet for a minute and plug it back in again. If it doesnt work try it again. If that doesnt help your control thermostat on the front panel on the unit might be defective. I never liked the Lifesmart Heaters because mine was bought defective right out of the box new. It increased my electric bill too because it ran constantly. I will never buy another one again. If you need a new thermostat control you have to take the whole unit apart. If you have some warranty left on it they might fix it at the factory if you ship it to them. My Lifesmart Heater has a help number located on the back panel or check your owners manual. I hope this helps you out.

You can try and replace the fuse, the little glass tube. Same thing happened to ours. Hope that helps

Did you plug it directly into a wall plug or use and extension cord? Extension cord could be bad. Check outlet to verify it is active. If all this checks out then it's possible you have a bad switch or perhaps an inline fuse is blown. Call the company and see if they have a tech who can work with you. I just plugged mine into the wall inlet and it started up just fine. Good Luck.

We are not having that problem, but then again we normally only one of the two ovens and hardly ever use both at the same time. I would think when using both then that may alter the temps due to the voltage being pulled. Wiring may not be thick enough to handle the voltage draw. Sorry I couldn't give you a (for sure) answer.

I have the same question, because I have been just using the drip/bake pan that came with the box and it was bowing when I was using the convection oven but eventually came back to normal shape. This worries me that it's not made to withstand the heat. I'll let you know if I find anything.

It sounds like either a bad connection, or there's a problem with the rheostat. I would unplug the unit, remove the bulb and try to reseat it. If that doesn't work, try a different bulb. If that doesn't work, try leaving the light on at half strength and see what happens.

There is a small internal device that acts as a starter to make the bulbs light up. It sounds like that starter has gone bad. Contact Flowtron and send them the unit for repair.

Sorry about your cooker. I purchased mine for Xmas of 2012 and its still working. The only suggestion I have is make sure the plug is secure in the back of the cooker. Try a different outlet as well just in case you have a GFI circuit and its tripped. I hope it comes back to life for you. Since it'd only 3 months old maybe Amazon will replace it for you or Nesco should honor their warranty. Good luck. John
