The following information applies to McDonald’s® Convection Ovens Models M4200-2 thru M4200-3S
series and includes ovens with both early-style and current production solid state controllers.
A. Early units had a temperature controller (p/n 63870) with screwdriver adjustment for setting
and/or calibration, and utilized a separate timer board (p/n 63040). See page 2 for setting and
calibration instructions.
B. Current production ovens use an integrated controller/timer board (p/n 64964) with a built-in key pad
for all temperature control, calibration and timer functions. See page 3 for setting and calibration
instructions. Some common concerns:
1. There have been occasional interruptions in the newer controllers caused by random radio
frequency noise. The controller temperature will be reset to its default setting (100ºF) causing
the oven to not heat. If this happens, the controller has lost it’s memory and must be reset:
a. Unplug the power cord for 5 minutes, reconnect power cord.
b. Reset the SET temperature per page 3.
c. If the problem persists, a radio frequency interference filter is available as p/n 502021.
2. If the oven will not hold calibration within ±3º F (1º C) one possibility is that calibration was done
without allowing the oven temperature to stabilize:
a. Set-up the oven per the calibration instructions on page 3.
b. Allow at least five complete heating cycles before calibrating the oven controller.
C. Both early-style and current production ovens may experience an oven blower failure:
1. Not all failures are actually the motor itself. Often, the problem is with the capacitor rather
than the motor.
2. See page 5 for instructions on troubleshooting the motor.
3. See page 5 for an upgrade to locate the capacitor to a lower heat area. This will extend the life
of the capacitor.
