It's the perfect hot sandwich blaster. I had two, 2 year old units offered to me recently by a hospital I worked at - to haul off. BOTH needed significant repairs. I didn't do it due to my busy schedule, limited garage space and overbearing collection of OTHER projects. A recent junk food hunger pang sent me to thinking how well ONE could've been fitted nicely where my painfully slow, old, built-in kitchen oven is now installed. And...if it quit...I knew how to fix it!
Wave guide covers crack a lot.

I'm getting real good @ stripping the panels off, carting the unit out back and blowing all the crud out of it with CO2. Unit filled with dirt/ debris causes alot of the over temp mag errors. Oh...and burnt electrical connectors on top of the unit. Almost every time.

I worked on a few of these for Subways. Seemed like most of the repairs were on the Microwave side of it, Cap's, Diodes, Mag's, etc.
There are two magnetrons, waveguides,etc. It is also a convection oven, so you have to wait for that part to come to temperature. I believe there is a ceramic shelf in the oven to help it stay hot also. I worked on a couple of these at Starbucks.
Turbo Chef Ovens Anyone work on these ? I do not, however a chain I do work for have them, I love them ! Nothing like having last nights pizza in there for 30 seconds, comes out hot, and done just right, not all nasty like a microwave. What is the theory of operation with these amazing ovens ?
