Stove on timer

[brother]

Oh Brother, Brother. I think you guy's need to use the microwave oven more. Maybe some memory classes. By the way I think you may have left the water running you had better go check.

LOL
Ohh noo, your right , the bath tub is over flowing!! Crap!! I just need a maid service!! anyone know of a good maid service that can come by everyday and make sure everything is off and cleaned up??

If doing this could be done cheap, then every stove would have it built in.

I have very basic Sears range it will shut the oven off after 8 hours, this really made the wife POed during her marathon Christmas baking sessions. :grin:

I don't know if it will shut the stove top, never tried it.

There likely is enough space behind or within the range to install a contactor.Now simply find place for the timer.

Maybe, but you bought it at some point. Don't most electric ranges have a red light on them that shows when any burner is on?

Im pretty sure they all do now. It stays lit as long as the top is hot/warm to the touch.

Those 240 volt contactors are expensive though, arent they??

It's the amps. Whats the kw of the range? Get over a 30A contactor and your looking at a couple bucks.

Its on a 50 amp breaker right now, so i guess its gonna cost me if i go this route.

I have a range already equipped with a timer. One burner and one oven can be set to turn off automatically... Ironically though, it's a natural gas stove and hasn't been plugged in for at least 20 years.

Stick this on your front door.

It's cheap and effective.

Brother, A two pole 50a contactor with coil is not that much money, you

could probally pull one off an air conditioning unit gone bad. How much is the

house worth??

How is worth about 210,000. not much for you millionare houses.
Yes i checked grainger and looks like they got a 2 pole 50amp 240 contactor for about $95.00

 

[ultramegabob]

contact your local HVAC supplier and try to get a Furnas definate purpose contactor, it would be about half that.

How about this:

Put a bowl on the top of the stove. Make a rule, anyone who turns the stove on first has to drop their keys in the bowl.

Usually it's pretty hard to leave without your keys.

This is how I solved the problem of forgetting to put deadfronts back on or close panels at customers homes.

And without burning your fingers picking the keys up!
