Broadwater / Mariner Stove Help Needed

Gallivanters · 07-03-2008, 09:06

The thermal-coupler in our three year old Broadwater stove needs replacement. I've polished the sensor yet the oven will not stay lit.

I am getting no help from Maxco Industries what-so-ever and seems they've been sold to a mob who know of or care nothing for Customer Service.

Does anyone know of another source for these couplers OR a method to by-pass the coupler?

Please help - we are getting hungry!

Thanks,

Kirk

Bypassing the thermocouple (BY JUMPERING ACROSS 2 TERMINALS) is a very bad idea, always "cautioned" by manufacturers.

Thanks, Gord.

I fully understand the ramifications and potential hazard of using this oven like one without this safety feature.

With any luck - someone may know if another manufacturer's thermocoupler would work on a Broadwater... or where else I might obtain the correct one.

They were originally made in New Zealand.

Thanks,

Kirk

Any chance tyyou could swap out for say a Force 10. They all work the same if you can fit the thing in there. If your oven has a thermostat then usually the whole unit is one.

My memory’s failing me; but I believe the thermocouple & gas valve may be a matched set; which could be exchanged AS A PAIR.
Any Thermocouple & valve set, that will physically fit & mount, should work.
What Paul said.

We had this problem with our oven on our Broadwater Schooner. I added more grounds from the thermocouple to the stove and have not had a problem since. I connected these at the valve end.

Good luck,

Jim
