Sounds like ovens have gotten more complicated over the years. As
soon as I read "control board" and modified sine wave, I cringe.
The good old DR inverters worked great, I even ran my own shop on
one for several years back in the 90s. I for the most part quit
selling them though, as even though most equipment worked on the mod
sine, we started noticing premature failures. I would attribute
this to the extra heat generated by all the extra harmonic
distortion. Sorry I can't recommend an oven; they probably would be
better going to something older form Craig's list with no AC
connection at all.<br>

<div>Hi Wrenches,<br>
<br>
</div>
I have a client that has blown out 2 control boards on
their oven in the last few months. The appliance is a
Whirlpool Model WFG515S0EW0 powered by a Xantrex
DR1512. Since this is an off-grid home, i recommended
that they get an LP stove with no oven glow bar and this
was the unit that the appliance company supplied.<br>
<br>
</div>
Has anyone seen this before (i am assuming incompatibility
of the circuitry with the modified sine wave output)?<br>
<br>
</div>
Can you recommend another model that has been tried and true
(preferably Whirlpool)? <br>
<br>
</div>
Thanks tons,<br>
