I have a copy of the official service and diagnostics manual for DR series. 
It's a 1.5" thick binder full of fold out legal pages, addendums, etc. Not the 
easiest thing to scan. Is there something particular you are looking for?

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 
(www.premierrange.com<http://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
