Thermador wall oven SMW272YW relay replacement part number needed

Broiler will come on but not the bake element. Circuit board not available so it's either fix the board or replace the whole oven. Problem is probably a power relay: Omron G8P-UA-006206, is 30A 250VAC. I can't find a replacement and apparently Omron doesn't make one with this part number any more. Another forum post gave a replacement relay for a very similar relay ending in 006203 for a Frigidaire wall oven. The new number is G8P-1A4 ... something like that. Difference is in the coil voltage. Do you have any way to cross-reference the old relay number for a relay that is currently manufactured? Thanks for your help!

Viking Range - Can oven igniters physically burn out?

Hi All. I have a Viking range oven that the ignitors went bad on and I just replaced. I noticed now that it is working again there are flames directly hitting the ignitor. Seems a hole was burnt or coroded or something in the burner rail next to the ignitor and now yellow flames are lapping right on the unit. How hot are these things designed to get? Is it possible for the flame to physically burn up the ignitor?

Thermador insulation bag

Hi – I am restoring a 20 year old thermador 48in range with 2 ovens. The larger oven has an insulation “bag” lining the right side panel - plus 2 layers of a half inch white insulation outward from the bag. The smaller oven does not have this bag, so I assume the bag is additional insulation to support the self-cleaning temperature of the larger oven.

The bag has been ripped and the insulation inside appears crumbled into a fine brown dust. This part is no longer available from Bosch. Do you have something you would recommend? Im sorry that I don’t know enough about insulation materials to describe this better. The bag looks something like Kevlar and the insulation inside is the color of coffee with a lot of milk, portions of it seem like it was originally pressed into a form and has now deteriorated into a fine dust.

Thanks, John

GE Profile Induction Cooktop Range

I have an induction range that stopped working last night - the control panel went blank but the oven light would come on when the door was open. I turned the breaker of for a few minutes then on but nothing changed. An hour later the clock started blinking, I reset it and everything worked. This morning the control panel was blank; this renders the oven and stove top completely inoperable. Any thoughts?
