We are looking for a schematic for the DR series inverter. Does anyone
have one they could send me?<br><br>
Thank you,<br><br>

Ray's advice is sound, and I'll add: that 14 year old inverter is likely
to last forever, and that's not a reason to keep using it. It's almost
certainly the crude waveform that's causing the issues.<br>
If range replacement remains the only option, talk with Peerless-Premier
(<a href="http://www.premierrange.com">www.premierrange.com</a>). As of
my last contact with them a few years ago, they still make unadvertised
models with circuit boards that were designed for original Trace
mod-square inverters and have no glow bars for the oven. Our family home
has a decent Pro series (stainless front with sealed burners) with
electric igniters and no glow bar. <br>

This is a circa 2002 inverter. I may just tell them to go to a
pilot light stove model (hate to waste gas, ya know).<br><br>

<dd>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><br>

<dd>Hi Wrenches,<br><br>
<dd>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>
<dd>Has anyone seen this before (i am assuming incompatibility of the
circuitry with the modified sine wave output)?<br><br>
<dd>Can you recommend another model that has been tried and true
(preferably Whirlpool)? <br><br>
<dd>Thanks tons,<br>
