the knob points down instead of up! Will removing the screws and reversing same cure the problem and how do they stand up to the oven heat? The orig pealed &amp; melted!

Pull knob out, turn upside down, put back on. It's worked great, no problems

It sounds like the stones aren't tight enough. Make sure the holes in the back of the base stone are lined up with the pegs so that it rests flush with the body of the mill, and tighten the knob down pretty tight and then back it off as much as needed for you to turn it.

Mine came out of the box with one knob higher but it turned out it had just popped off the tuning pot. I pushed it down and it popped back into place and I haven't had any issue since. Hopefully that is all the issue is for your unit.

Check the "door hooks". They are the little plastic hooks sticking out of the door when you open it. They're both mounted on a plastic strip (that you can't see), and they should move easily. If they seem sluggish, spray just a little silicon spray on the top one and work it up and down. That should make them move easily, and that should solve the problem. When they are all gummed up (for some reason), they don't fully disengage the safety switch when the door is closed, so the oven shuts off. Had same problem -- solved.

Provide Name, did you ever get yours working? I can't get either the long knob or the short knob to "click" onto the outside. There's a small kind of "facing cover" that's in the way, and the short knob won't fit either side.

When I first tried mine, when I tried to 'season' it, I noticed the lights weren't on. Looking closer, I saw I had turned both knobs the wrong way. My eyesight is not the best, so I used a magic marker and put a dot on the pointed end.

I bought this oven one year ago and the control knobs on mine look different than the current oven photo. So I'm not sure if this unit has been redesigned. My little oven only sits on the counter top. It has 4 short plastic legs.

I had the same problem on one of the three I bought. I just put some thick gas rated Teflon tape. Mine was just slightly to big. If it's just way to off send it back

not sure. I did not have this problem maybe put them lower in oven. The rack in my oven stays at a lower level all the time so maybe it was too close to heat. Hope you work it out I have really enjoyed my set.

I suggest reshaping it using a vice or a couple pairs of vice grips to make the base as flat as possible. I actually saw those tabs off with a hack saw which decreased the stability of the base. I've since bought another knob. It sucked too. I put parts from two knobs together to make one good one.

really do not know what you are talking about. by the way mine died after 1 year. I now have a sharp carousel. hope you have better luck with your oven than I did

The bracket has to be modified and the old mounting hardware adapted. If I had to do it again I would search for an exact replacement. My wife was afraid of it once she looked in the oven and saw the way it was mounted (weeks later and after she had used it). I ended up buying her a new oven to keep her happy!

I had similar problem but it was because I didn't refer back to the instructions and got the tension knob & the locking knob mixed up. Boy did I feel stupid! I guess "when all else fails, read the instructions" is not as stupid as it sounds. I hope that is not your problem but it is a thought.

Mine is not a tight fit. It sounds like a flaw in the construction of the oven. I would get hold of Hamilton Beach customer service to report the problem and see what they want to do about it.

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.

Hi Leticia, We've been trying to get a contact e-mail and preferably a phone number since last week. We can definitely help you get squared away, but I want to spend a few minutes troubleshooting what you're doing now so we can correct it. The oven will easily get up into hotter temperatures than you are achieving now, but that will depend upon fuel (chunkwood) selection and how you are monitoring the stone temperature. Can you contact our customer service line at 206-438-3587 so we can help you? Thanks!!
