Any issues with the 4-in-one clock/timer melting from heat emitting from the oven?

I'd seek another timer, after a year the button used to set and start the count down timer are sticky and take some effort to make work. The set up of the time memories is not the most intuitive.

Make sure the little switch is positioned in the center Position. Left is OFF. Center is Timer program, and right position is on continuous. If the clock rotates automatically then it is wired correctly. If it still does not turn off then I don't know what the problem could be other than a mechanical failure.

Did you try and replace the heating element with the spare one that comes with the set? At 217 degrees, that's not even close to melting solder. I know my station has to be set about 100 degrees higher than where I normally would set it, which tells me that the thermostat isn't very accurate, but other than that I've used mine to build hundreds of circuit boards at home and actually prefer my solder station over the ones I use at work. If the 2nd heating element doesn't work, I would contact the seller.

M. M.: I'm in the middle of an email conversation with the Appliatech (who services Solo ovens--or perhaps owns the Solo brand--I'm not entirely clear on this relationship) Customer Service technician, regarding my S2000 which currently isn't working due to a bad On/Off/Timer switch. One of the things I've gathered from this email conversation is that the original S2000 oven was wired such that the thermostat controlled the Convection Fan--which is a mistake because in convection mode you want the fan running constantly. In later models of the S2000 this wiring mistake was fixed, such that the Convection Fan runs properly (all the time). I believe that is the reason why some customers are reporting that the fan only runs when the thermostat is on, and others are reporting that it works properly. I'm guessing that if you order an S2000 now, you will be getting a newer, properly wired model, and it was only the early purchasers who got the mis-wired S2000's (but I can't guarantee that).

I haven't experienced that issue. I was thinking though, do you have a timer set? I am sorry. Please let us know how you get this resolved.

Sorry. I checked the manual but there was no max time listed. It explains what to do in case it over heats but doesn't indicate how long before it happens.

I'm not sure if your's is defective, but the timer on mine works fine. There's a little resistance, but aren't all timers.

I have programmed it, which is easy to do but have not used it yet. It has a lot of nice features, which a lot of the inexpensive timers don't have, and if it holds up should work well. Sorry I can't be of any further help.

I see no problem, just plug it in and warm towels. Try it with a timer and no worry.

Hi, I have only had that happen when I use the unit for an hour of more. I reckon that the quality of the product varies, and your unit may be overheating more than normal.

Yes, no matter what you set the timer on it has a mind if its own. sometimes it would get really hot without even being on. I Always unplugged when I left so it didn't catch fire.

The ticking noises on the features that I stated previously was due to the timer but I have notice different sounds for different settings. Also, I do recall using toaster setting once and I heard nothing out of the ordinary, only the timer ticking noise.

I just hit it once but it burns it up. I've had to just figure out the time and put in 1 minute 25 seconds manually. Brand and type could be the problem, but it's not auto.

We have not had that issue....I always warm the oven on the #1 setting. After the light goes off and the unit warms for roughly 10 minutes, I then turn the knob to #2 just before cooking a pizza. We had some issues the first time we used it and the pizza wasn't perfect but once we figured out our system, it has been perfect ever since. We just started pre-making pizzas when we are having people over and only cooking them half way earlier in the day and then finishing the cooking when we are ready to serve. They turn out great and you don't have the mess of preparation while you have guests. (Unless its a pizza party and some of the fun is having everyone prepare their own)

Apparently from the other answers it looses correct time after a while (4 hours?), but keeps the settings (probably a small flash mem chip on board).My feeling is that it would just be one more clock to reset after a power outtage....Coffee Maker, Microwave, Oven, Bedside Alarm Clocks,Clock Radios, Etc.So it does not concern me.All I have to do is remember! :-)

I had mine plugged in for a few months - only using it occasionally - and one night when I wasn't using it, started flashing red in the middle of the night - it didn't turn the heat on while it did this. It didn't stop when I used the control so I unplugged it and replugged it in and it's been fine. Nothing in the manual about that. If it does it again I will call the manufacture.

Unfortunately, a window would interfere with the heating elements and cause uneven browning of the pizza . . .thus defeating the purpose. The temperature stays accurate and the timer exceptional. You shouldn't need to check it before it's ready
