Ok yesterday was an insane asylum I felt like I was the one going over the cuckoo's nest.
Not sure how (but likely slight mishap with daughter's BF and his bud) who really helped me out getting this range here. But, I FINALLY had everything in place to yesterday AM to get this beast hooked up and "inducing" my cooks.
So I noticed one of the "feet" was sort of bent under. So I had to devise a way to straighten the sheet metal frame out without trying to lay the range on it's back. FINALLY got that fixed and the leveler foot working again.
Noticed a funny thing. The stove had a 110V cord already on it. So now I am trying to find mention of why in the manual. The 110 went to the black, white and ground exactly where those leads would go from the 220V. And I'm struggling to get the NEMA 1450 cord hooked up (2 ea 6 AWG and 2 8 AWG wires). After all this I'm realizing if I plugged in both 110V and the 220V lines at same time I could have a disaster. (black wires possible out of phase issue). Executive decision made. Toss the 110V lead). Get it wired,
Cool. All hooked up, pushed it back in place turn on breaker and so cool everything is working EXCEPT the heating elements on top and the oven! All day, working on it, calls to tech support, crickets. Had to leave for physical therapy. Therapist notes how "tense" I seem to her. "Oh sweetheart you don't know the half of it"
Anyway home again, back at it. 0 luck.
We had tickets to the baseball game last night at Rivets Stadium so off we go to take in a fun game with ea other and our daughter and family. Get home after the fireworks about 2200 and while at the game I'd had an epiphany. Was the 110v lead used at the store to supply enough power to only fire up the electronics for a "demo" mode? BOOM!!!! THAT is why a "D" was surreptitiously showing on the panel?! Now I do a google AI of demo mode and find this "It allows the control panel and interior lighting to function, but prevents the heating elements from actually heating up, ensuring safety in a store environment.
This mode is typically activated when the range is wired to 120V instead of the standard 240V. " But, of course every method noted to turn that stupid mode off noted online fails. Now, I'm depurate. I decide to try "Factory Reset"
Well, long story short I played with it far later into the night than I should have but in the end I went entirely though the setup procedure again and YES!!!!! Success!!!! Put a pan with water in it on top place the control on "boost". And in seconds water is boiling! Try the oven.........YES! Success. Holy
what an ordeal.
I have to finish the install today. (anti tip bracket, strain relief on the cord, and such) and then it's "up against the wall"
