[Shop-talk] Oven problem

[eric at megageek.com]

OK, this is shop related. 

I had to remove an in wall oven because it was making noise.  I replaced 
it, and figured the broken one would be perfect for the shop for powder 
coating and such.

Here is the problem, the oven works fine, but sometimes there is a loud 
hum from it when it is NOT on.

Any ideas?  Also, since this is a shop stove, can I just rewire it to a 
simple thermostat and bypass all the other nonsense?

Oh, one more question, what is the difference between "Broil" and "Bake?" 
I'm a 42 year old (come Sunday) bachelor and I don't cook.  More 
importantly, which one do I use for powder coating and what setting?

Thanks!
