Stove on timer

[wawireguy]

I"d just save the money on the timer setup. Sell your stove and buy one that has that feature built in. Probably not a lot more expensive and you'd have a better stove!

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

Don't homeowners look at you funny when you open their panel, then go to their kitchen, take out a bowl, set it on the stove, and put your keys in it?

By adding another bell and whistle or two, you could also launch a shuttle, right from your kitchen . . .

How does Mike get sixty plus replies from a simple post? I'm usually from the 'other side', and Nathan could barely squeeze ten replies out of this OP.

And Mike doesn't even offer free tees!

Rhetorical answer here: Why am I 'usually from the other side'? Simply because 'Electrican Talk' appears before 'Mike Holt' in my Favorites List. Puny excuse.

Best wishes to both forums, and

Best Wishes Everyone

Maybe we should take a hint from the pest control companies that use yellow pages ad. Change the name to AAAAAMike Holt Forum.

another idea would be to control the contactor off of the fan switch on your range hood if you have one. You would most likely notice the fan running and turn it off when you are not cooking.

This is actually code in our area now for commerical: all hood-vented appliances must have their respective hood fans activated by a heat sensor set for a pretty low temp (not sure exactly what it is). That is more to make sure that dopes in restaurants turn the fans on rather than to make sure they turn appliances off, but the results are almost the same.

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

Yes but its same price nomatter where we install it.Would get one with 120 coil.
Rough guess is about $100 ,real question is if you forget about the range what else did you forget.Sometimes i walk out in morning and forget truck keys.Just think how bad this turn out if i got few miles down street before i noticed LOL

the heat sensors on the ansul hoods that I have wired are nothing more than a piece of steel cable that is spring loaded and connected to the micro switch, the actual sensor is a series of solder joints that will melt allowing the spring to activate the ansul fire suppression and micro-switch
