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

Kristopher,
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.
If range replacement remains the only option, talk with
Peerless-Premier
(<http://www.premierrange.com>www.premierrange.com). 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.

Thanks Ray,
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).

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.

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