Trojan Boat Forum

Cooking dinner, using two burners. Every one stops. Oven light still works, oven still works. I am not an electrician, know something about wood. Any ideas as to where I should start to look for cause. Or just call an expert. Range original to a 75 F32.

Trying to remember specifically, but it seems to me on my former Trojan I had to choose between the oven or the burners. Not both at the same time. There was a switch. Could you have flipped it down accidentally?

If that wasn't what you really meant, then I apologize.

You probably meant that when the top burners stopped working, you flipped the switch down and the oven came on. But when you flipped the switch back up again still nothing up top. If so, then I believe you will find there are fuses located within the stove itself. The one for the top may have blown for some reason.

+1 .... I seem to remember one switch controls whether power goes to oven or stove top, and I think if you switch it to oven, then you still get 1 or 2 burners on the stove top.

Only docs I have are generic instructions for multiple models (doesn't really describe usage of the controls), installation info, wiring diagram, and high level troubleshooting stuff. Docs also talk about a rotisserie... Nothing really model specific other than possibly wiring diagram, but from what you said that might not help you.

Correct if the oven switch is on you can only use 1 or 2 burners. Also if the Cover over the burners is not up and fully seated the burners will not come on .

All of the above is true. Mine situation was 2 burners on medium for 5 minutes. Then they just stopped.

Wiggle the cover

I wiggled, I jiggled. It worked. Your my hero!

Dang it Prowlersfish, I was just going to offer my Princess cooktop for sale to him!

Decided just this morning that galley update will include new cooktop, so as to be able to maximize countertop space. I'll be living aboard 5/7's of the time for as many months of the year as I can stand it starting June 1.

I did 4 months when covid hit. I'm (still) sheltering a young music major who can't live at home. She plays piano into her phone and sings all day. Not conducive to my telework. When the guvna announced at 11:00 a.m. that the only travel permitted was between home and to care for family or buy groceries starting at 5:00 p.m. the same day, I did what any law-abiding rational person would do -- I immediately went online with my employer and changed my mailing address to my slip. Lived at the boat during the work/school week, commuted home on the weekends.

Not sure if/when the new marina turns-off the shore water, but the dead of winter is the only part of the year that I'm unsure about. Home is a 2-hr commute not in traffic. Likely at least 4 hrs. in traffic. Air BNB may be my friend during nor-easters.

Good Luck!
