Viking Vgsc305 one oven burner won’t lite

Hi all, I have a Vgsc305 Viking I converted to Natural. Owner I bought it from had LP and complained that the oven didn’t get hot enough for baking. Well the right oven bake burner doesn’t work. Left works fine, but right has no gas going to it. Igniters on both work perfect. But when gas valve opens there is no gas going to the right side orifice if you cover with finger. Wondering if gas valve went bad? Anyone experience this?

BGRP34520SS Blomberg gas oven bake/boil not working

Hello i have a blomberg gas oven model BGRP34520SS which is only 3 years old. This has no digital display or keypads even. The bake and the broil igniters don't ignite and it never heats up. There is one on the top and bottom of the oven. I do hear some clicking once in a while after about 10 seconds but nothing heats. I did isolate the broil(igniter up top) and measured the resistance to be 162 ohms. is this too high of a value? On the blogs i have read it's okay between 80 and 180... Read more

Wolf dual fuel range takes 1 hour to pre-heat

I Just bought a used 36" dual fuel (electric oven) range and it takes about an hour to preheat to 350F. Is this normal? I had a cheap whirlpool I replaced which literally took about 10-15 minutes and if I wanted to bake something quick I would be done within 30-45 minutes and that's including with the preheat. Yes I understand these ovens are heavier, thicker metal and it takes longer... But 1 hour everytime I want to use it to bake something for 10-15 minutes?. Things I've replaced so... Read more

Thermador pg364glbs not igniting or clicking

I have a 17 year old Thermador still in good condition. For several years it was harder to get the pilot on the range to light. The board was just changed to the universal because the oven would high up over 250 degrees and now the oven is working fine. Then now none of the ranges ignite. I had 2 tech look at the issue for the ignitor both side I need to replace the spark re-igniter BSH 00189010 but it's hard to get. One tech tested the voltage output from each and it's getting current... Read more

Bosch pke611d17e - Small h on plate indicator

Hi, Recently purchased a Bosch pke611d17e and installed it, after one use it retains a small h on the plate indicators and am unsure what this is trying to tell me. After use it sets a capital H to indicate that its still hot, after leaving it without power overnight and turning it back on the next morning it still has a small h on each plate that was used. Tried asking Bosch directly but keep getting forwarded to a departments answering machine. My instructions were also only in Russian... Read more

Viking Dual Fuel Wont heat, replaced pre-heat and relay

I bought a used range and it sat for a while. Finally got it hooked up and the heating coil would only slightly heat. Have 220 across the leads to the heating elment Through the help on this site, I replaced the relay at the bottom (did find a burnt lug) and tried, nope. replaced Pre heat board, the same thing. HAve 18 ohms across the heating element so don't think that is the issue. Very stumped on this?

GE Stove - Gas Leak

Hello - My wife noticed a gas smell in our house and we called the gas company. They came out and checked everything and found that our GE gas stove has a leak. It does not appear to be the line from the gas line to the stove but rather inside the stove. The stove was bought in 2013 and is a GE model number PGB995SET1SS. Until now the stove has not had any issues and we like it a lot. I called the company we bought it from and they can send a tech out for $245.00 which includes the... Read more

New Thermistor (Electric LG Range) Out of Box Failure?

I've been chasing an oven over heating issue on an LG LRE30451ST electric range. Set at 350F and runs way past to over 500F. Placing a thermocouple in the oven, the oven (display) thinks it is at a lower temperature than it is actually at (thermocouple). First troubleshooting step was to test resistance of the thermistor. It tested @ 1080 Ohms @ 70F (normal), but 1330 Ohms @ 350F and 1440 Ohms @ 500F. Appliance thermistor resistance charts available to me indicate that 350F should be... Read more

Thermador PD304 slow heating issue

We have a Thermador PD304 30" electric oven and it takes 16 minutes to get to 200 degrees, 26 minutes to 300 degrees, 40 minutes to 375 degrees and 45 minutes to 400 degrees. My wife has been saying for awhile that it takes a long time to heat up. I had a tech out today and he seemed to think that it was heating up at about the correct speed. I don't think he is correct. From what I've read most ovens will get to 400 degrees in around 17 minutes. Does anyone have any first hand experience... Read more

Non-Zephyr motor to fit Zephyr Venezia ZVE-E30 hood?

My hood blower fan motor is in its last days and I could use some help or advice. Zephyr tells me that my hood, which is labeled "ZVE-E30," actually is a "ZVE-E30S" and its motor no longer is manufactured. Also, they tell me, no other Zephyr motor will work, so I will need to replace the entire hood. This seems a little hard to believe--the hole to the duct is six inches in diameter and the plastic fan/motor housing is roughly nine inches in diameter, which doesn't seem uncommon--but for all...

Westinghouse Wall Oven Thermostat is over 100 degrees off. (OLR-24-7, Q-26747

When the dial is set to 350F the oven heats up to and cycles from 400-450F. Hoping this is as easy as replacing the thermostat, but not sure what part to get.

MicroOven Wall Combo. Micro works fine, oven won't heat at all. There are no error codes of any kind. Wondering if it could just be the heating element?
