Samsung Range FE-R500 - Repairing the oven burner heating power

Hello,

I need help repairing my Samsung FE-R500 oven. One of my electrical oven burners' heating power seems to be broken. It is always at high, whether I set it to low or medium. As a result the food that is cooked on that burner gets burnt often. All the other burners seem to work alright.

What can I do to repair that one broken burner's heating element?

Thermador double wall oven wiring?

Hmm, I see that Thermador is not one of the brands listed here, so this might be a non-starter.
But....
I am trying to reinstall a Thermador double wall oven.
can anyone direct me to a wiring schematic or guide me in wiring?

From the power supply (240v) I've got RED WHITE and BLACK
from the Unit I've got (these nicely labelled wires):
RED (4)
Black (1)
Red (5)
Black (2)
Red (3)
white (unlabelled)

many thanks

Dacor PGR30 - Bake Igniter does not glow

I have a Dacor PGR30. I replaced the computer, main relay board, gas safety valve and the bake igniter. I verified that there is continuity on the wire that runs between the gas safety valve and the bake igniter. I verified that there is continuity between the wire at the bake relay and the other side of the igniter. I verified that the hi temp reset switch is set in operational mode, that the thermostat has 1080 ohms across its leads, that the bake igniter has approximately 5 ohms of resistance across it, that the DBL relay and the bake relays are working. What I am seeing is that when the oven is placed into bake mode, the BA side of the Bake Relay measures 120V, the ac voltage measured across the bake igniter itself (when connected) is 0 volts, between one of the bake igniter connections to ground is 120V and the other side to ground also measures 120 Volts. The bake igniter stays cold. What else can I do? Thank you for your assistance.

Repairing a Thermador Double Oven Knob

I own an electric Thermador Double Oven - Manufactured 1994.

One of the plastic oven control knobs keeps coming off. The internal plastic hole has worn away and is too loose to fit the metal stem.

I have not been able to find a replacement because of it's age. I've tried the manufacturer, appliance repair companies, ebay, online, etc

So at this point unless anyone has a better suggestion I'd like to simply glue or use putty to get the knob back and operational.

My question is:

1. Is there a good adhesive to withstand the high heat of the oven
2. Is the adhesive strong enough to work - gripping and turning the metal stem?

Thanks

Vintage GE Americana - Terminal for Plug?

We recently acquired a lovely, vintage, GE Americana J785. On the back of the unit, there is documentation that shows the terminal block where the 110v is wired in for the range lights, etc. However...for the life of us, we can't figure out how the 220v plug is to be wired in...there seems to be no terminal there, and nothing seems to be missing...can anyone direct us to information about this or provide information in regards to how and where the terminal is on this old beauty to attach the plug?

Thanks for any help offered, it's much appreciated.

Replace control board

How hard is it to replace the control board? Service tech wants $120 in labor plus $100 markup on retail cost of part. This seems very high to me or am I wrong?
