Phil, That is very interesting. Thanks. John has a Custom Imperial Filtrator and found that in one model year, they used three different electronic dryness controls.
My new toy!

A real beauty! Congrats on the stove - these cook wonderfully!
Years ago, I was at an OLD Frigidaire dealer that had shelves of NOS Broiler pans and rotisseries, still in the boxes. To this day, I'm still pissed that the owner never got back in touch with me before his store was flooded!!
Beautiful range Phil! I hope you get a lot of use from it.

I tried the rotisserie and didn't have to use the new motor. The old one works fine.
And so does the timer!

Rotisserie Test
Wheres the meat, LOL, we want to see this oven roasting at least a chicken, pork roasts also work beautifully on the rotisserie.

Today, I just got the instruction manual for that range. Someone from Nova Scotia has the exact same range and she sent me the instruction manual for it.
After reading it, I think I learned why the oven thermostat acted strangely, it has a Meal Minder! I thought Canadian ranges didn't have that! Documents about Canadian ranges are not giving too much information. I did see a mention of a Meal Minder in the parts manuals for Canadian Flair ranges but I thought it was an error (there are quite a few errors and mix-ups with US parts in Canadian parts manuals, and for service, Canadians had to rely mostly on the information from US Tech Talk manuals which didn't even cover the same models!).
But I know I'm going to try the Meal Minder to see if it still works! The timer does so maybe it still works!
I've scanned the English part of the instruction manual.

And I also discovered in the French section that the controls were available in French too! I've never seen French-only controls on any appliance here!

The oven thermostat is spring-loaded and when the oven timer is set, it locks in place with a kind of ratcheting mechanism. When the timer ends the cooking, the thermostat automatically sets back to a lower temperature.
The thermostat knob turns free when the timer is on "manual" but when the oven is set to automatic, the timer knob becomes spring-loaded and it's held in place with some kind of ratcheting mechanism. When the timer ends the cooking cycle, instead of turning the oven off, it releases the ratcheting mechanism and the spring sets back the temperature at about 175°F.
See the video I made of it in the link below. Is this how the US ranges with the Meal Minder work? It seems to be a simpler system than I thought!
