Jenn-Air WW30430b KW rating neeeded

I'm replacing a single wall oven with a double Jenn-Air unit. This is a 1999 model--WW30430B. Does anyone know what the total KW rating is? I can't read the KW rating off the plate. My current wiring is 10-gauge, 3-conductor romex from a double-pole 30-amp breaker. Do I have to upgrade wiring to 6-gauge and a 60-amp breaker?
THANKS!

GE Cafe Gas Cooktop: Ignitor nor light panel not working

Hello:
I did a detailed cleaning of the Cooktop yesterday. THe cooktop has five burners and lock/unlock knob. Before cleaning, I turned the knob to lock position. I removed all the the knobs soaked in water to clean it. Putting everything back and I turned to the unlock position. I tried to light one of the burner. However, the ignitor didnt give any clicking noise, but the gas is flowing. Moreover, when the burner knob is turned, there would be a blue glow under the knobs. Now I dont see that. Electric short circuit??? No trips in the main panel. Thank you in advance for your assistance.

Switch Burner Leads

I have a Tappan gas range, model 285647B. The front left burner won't light. The back right burner wouldn't light either. I replaced the ignitors. That fixed the back right (it had a chip out of it and wasn't sparking), but didn't fix the front left burner. For the heck of it, I switched the leads going to the front left and rear left burners and now they both light! Is this OK to do? Will it cause any other problems, or doesn't it matter which burner each lead goes to?

Stoves Electric Oven - Works Fine Until I Turn The Knobs to OFF

Hi

We are about to move house and we have a strange issue with out stoves electric fan oven.

It broke a few years ago and we had an engineer out who 'fixed' it.

The behavior we are seeing is that the oven works totally fine and you could leave it on for hours and it wouldnt cut off.
Once you have cooked your food if you turn the temp dial and function dial back to the off position the metal front casing begins to get hot and then the oven cuts off. once the temperature drops to around 100 the oven comes back on and will work absolutely fine.

You can stop this from happening by turning the temperature knob to 0 and then leaving the function knob at fan oven until the temperature drops to around 100.

I suspect the engineer has bypassed something but I am not an electrician so wouldnt know exactly what?

Does anyone know if this is something that could be fixed without too much expense?

thanks in advance

Gary

LRE30757ST/01 LG Range bake element melted

I've been having trouble with my oven since the first year we got, July 2010. I got a lot of f-4 error codes, especially if I tried cooking on 350 or lower. Then, the temp kept going up when I was baking unless I would keep opening the door or turn it off and turn it back on. The extended warranty repairmen kept telling me nothing was wrong:mad:.:mad: I've been having trouble getting the temp over 350 for a while now but no more error codes.

I opened the back and "bake" on the pcb has a burned area and about 8" of the hidden bake element is actually MELTED to the bottom of the hidden section of the oven.

There are other sections that are also fried like in the photo. I have to idea how to get the melted part unstuck from the bottom because it is stuck on there pretty good. So far nothing I've stuck in there will unstick it and of course it's at the front while I'm working from the back. Any help would be appreciated and is it even worth fixing.

Kenmore Elite Gas Range: Oven Burner acting erratically

Replaced the Oven Igniter about 6 weeks ago and appeared to work properly up to about 2 weeks ago. Attempted to bake some bread and set to Pre-heat, 425. Oven never came up to temp. Next day, going straight to Bake and 300, observed the Oven Burner emitting a flame pattern of only about 3/16", very blue. but it came up to the set Temp of 300, cycled off. Off for about 45 seconds and then lit again. This time, flame was coming from RH side (looking to rear of oven) of tube only, still very short in length. I've re-checked the Igniter, putting out 3.8 Amps and Safety Valve is showing Continuity at both Broil (it's working beautifully with about 1" flame, blue with few yellow tips) and Oven leads. I'm on Liquid Propane. All top burners are working perfectly, as is the Broiler. Being a Dual Valve, is it possible that just the Oven side of the Safety Valve is malfunctioning? My wife says "Trash It." I'm for trying to save it if possible. Thanks for anyone's response who might shed some light (pun intended) on my issue.

Samsung FER300SB oven not maintaining temperature

Hello,

The broiler element of my oven went out in a blaze of glory a couple of weeks ago (loud buzzing sound and bright white light inside the oven). We replaced it, but the oven is now having trouble maintaining temperature. It will heat up, but then quickly falls. I hear it clicking on and off like it's heating up, but if I turn it off and then back on, the oven will show a temperature 100+ degrees less than what it's set to and then try to re-heat to the correct temperature. The temperature probe is connected close to where the element wires are, so I was wondering if maybe the probe got taken out when the element went- there's some browning of the insulation around where the electrical wires all come together near the back of the element.

Would the next step be to replace the temperature probe? Or is there something else we should try? Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks!

Thermador double wall oven, double failure (no heat anywhere)

It was a classic. Canadian Thanksgiving weekend, we have 14 people coming for turkey dinner at 5pm. at 1pm I fire up the oven and.... Nothing.

Immediate crisis was averted by borrowing a neighbour's oven for the bird but now I need to get this thing figured out.

This was a recovered wall oven (but she's a beauty) and when I installed it a month ago the upper oven worked fine but the lower unit did not. (It wasn't urgent to repair the lower unit as we'd rarely need it. But now we have none.)

I have the service manual for the unit:

thermador CT127N CT227N CT130N CT230N double oven service manual.pdf - Google Drive

but could really use some guidance with trouble shooting.
On the lower unit, I did removed the heating element and tested it for continuity. It passed and so seems good. (I have not yet tested the element on the upper oven, the one that just failed.)
The broiler does not work on either unit.
