1961 GE Range J-408 Timer buzzer will not shut off

[lgia]

The buzzer on the timer on my 1961 GE Liberator decided it wanted to start buzzing on it's own and not stop.

I unplugged and dropped down that backsplash panel but need help with which wires to pull so it won't go off when I plug it back in

Also info on how to remove the clock/timer motor to possibly clean it or get it fixed as a next step.

Thanks! Laura

Nonstop buzzer

There’s a little metal tab next to the clock motor that you just need to bend a little bit to stop the buzzing. That way the Clock will keep working.

If you want to disable the Clock cut one of the little black wires going to the Clock motor

Thank you! It turned out to be the buzzer connected to the light blue wires in the photo, so I bent that up and it stopped.

Do you know what would cause this to happen?

That buzzer is used as the reminder for the meat thermometer system, some thing is either shorted or wrong with it. It’s the device to the left of the clock with three wires and three nuts, holding the wires in place

Unless you use the meat thermometer system you can just leave it the way you have, although it might be better to disconnect the blue wires that small buzzer is using a little bit of power all the time, and sometimes things like that burn up if they’re on all the time.
