Burner will not reach bake temperature FAQs

What causes burner will not reach bake temperature?

3 catalogued root causes for this symptom: clogged_intake_filters: Loaded intake filters starve the burner of combustion air, reducing flame output. Common when filters were near replacement before bake started. — temperature_sensor_drift: Booth temperature sensor reading high so control system stops calling for heat before the panel actually reaches setpoint. — gas_pressure_low_or_supply_undersized: Gas pressure at the burner inlet below spec, or supply line undersized for peak demand. Multiple burners in shop competing for gas during bake.. The diagnostic sequence below walks through isolating each in order.
