Westinghouse CC-774 Electric Range Re-Wiring Help! I refuse to quit on this thing

I have been doing what I can to restore a old 1950's or 1960's Westinghouse CC-774 Electric Range that was left with the house i just purchased. It would have been easier to just get a new stove but I think this thing is too is to rare and has too much character to just get rid of it. When I began trying to get all of components, none of the lighting components were operating this is because the last person who "fixed" the range, jerry-rigged the wiring not to code Since ive been working on this ive figured out that luckily all the components are working but were just not wired properly. I would be extremely grateful to anyone who can help me solve this ranges wiring out as ive had trouble finding someone who re-wires vintage electric ranges. This thing is the last thing in my house that is keeping it from becoming my home. I know im close to getting this thing functioning safely any help would be more than appreciated and would be very much grateful

My main question:
- How can i wire this thing up so all the components are functioning properly well also bypassing the the oven timer and the surface 2 prong outlet receptacle On the front of the range near switches Ive been stuck on where to put the neutral wires to complete the circuits ?

-Can i use my old working switches that powered the original surface burner using a 3 wire (red,black,white) circuit burners with newer 2 wire burners (red,black)?

-- The range is plugged into a 50amp receptacle (checked volage and iam getting proper voltage output)
-Im using 12AWG stranded copper wire to rewire the switches and 14 AWG stranded copper to wire to rewure the light components on the stove
-Main power runs through a fuse box that has a black lead wire coming from a 20Amp fuse that protects the ranges switches, and a second 15Amp fuse that has the red lead wire that protects all the lighting components.

-Ive been using a service manua for a AA-774 electric range that has almost identical components and wiring except for two small pilot lights that are attached to each of the CC-774 's ranges oven switches, unfortunately the picture taken of the back of the ovens wiring diagram is inelligable. The wiring diagram has decayed and is not longer on the back of the range.

-Ive replaced the old surface burner switches and burners with infinite switches and new 2 wire (black & red) burners. The 2 ovens were working before i changed out the infinite switches, this is because the black, red, and white neutral wire were attached to the stove switches and the oven switches were drawing power from them

I currently have it wired minus the neutral wires. I made a wiring harness for the red wires powering the light components running from the 15AMP fuse and black the wires running from the 20AMP fuse with pigtail connections to the components, and followed the other wiring from the wire diagrams I have linked. I hope you guys are able to help I refuse to give up on this thing

HBL8450UC Bosch Oven Relay Switch Issue

My single Bosch oven (HBL8450UC) has been stuck on broil/it just keeps heating. A tech came out to confirm what I suspected was a faulty relay switch. I am wondering if just the relay switch can be replaced or does the whole control board need to be replaced? The difference in cost is substantial. A follow up question is I am wondering if a new control board will provide us with many more years of use from this oven or should we consider just purchasing a new oven? We stand to drop close to $500 for the control board plus $200 in labor but if a couple years down the road it fails again or if we have to end up replacing the touch pad we'll drop another big chunk of money. Thanks for any suggestions.

Magic chef 60s stove small gas smell

Hi All,

Our trailer has a very old Magic Chef stove that works absolutely fine. Everything is based on propane lighters that stay on all the time. There is 3 of them 1 for the oven and two for each set of two burners. Everything just works fine and we have no issues aside from a very faint propane smell from the two font burners when everything is off. I thought it was the valves that were feeding them but then I sprayed soap water in to the valves and there was no bubble at all. I did even check my soap verification method and when I open the valves the bulbs do appear quite easily.

The only way you notice the VERY VERY faint leak is by sticking your nose into the burner when it is off and just sniffing around. Then you can smell it. Does anyone have any idea what this could be? I will post pictures and photos soon.

Thanks a lot any help would be very much appreciated.

Viking VGIC305-4BSS 30 has 3 problems - please help!!!

Hi guys,

I've been trying to find information about repair of viking range and ovens and came across this site. I hope you guy will be able to help out.

My now 10 years old viking VGIC305-4BSS 30 has had its oven igniters replaces a couple of times by me. I usually order the genuine spare parts and do the dirty work to save on the outrageously expensive viking technical repairs.

My oven wouldn't heat up properly and after a while it wasn't igniting, so I figured the igniters had to be replace. So here are my 3 questions.

1. The over igniters replaces and now when I test my over, the two igniters get very hot but only the left burner burst into flame, the right one doesn't. Why and what could be the cause now that the igniters have both been replaced? I inspected the right burner and it looks in better shape than the left that works. (see photo)

2. The photo of the burner with rusty and damaged holes is the one that works. How sever is this damage and how dangerous its condition is ?

3. The 4 range burners keep making that ignition noise even when they are burning, so I also replace all 4 igniters with brand new ones but they keep making that noise. What is the cause and what should be replaced now ?

Your help is much appreciated!

What is the easiest way to take fan out from KitchenAid Range Hood ventilation from hood

When I turned on the fan (Range Hood), it works (look like working ) but some noise.
I goes to web and it suggested to change fan motor

http://ift.tt/2uxS4uF
Also I got some parts diagram.
http://ift.tt/2uymGwp

But I am not quite sure how the cylinder shaped ventilation fan attached to the range hood.

I purchased Downdraft vent fan blower wheel, Range Hood Fan Motor and Wheel.
So I plan to replace, however I am not sure what is the best way to disassemble.

I am thinking 2 ways
1) Without dismount the whole cylinder shaped ventilation fan part, try disassemble and clean or replace (Using Spacial Driver)
2) Try dismount and then disassemble, I do not know how ventilation cylinder parts attached to the range hood so a bit scarey for this option

Could you please advise?
I attached some pictures.


Thank you!

C272 Thermador wall oven cuts out

Thermador double wall oven with the glass "touch" control panel.

Oven occasionally cuts out, with the display going blank or blinking like after losing power. After playing with it for a bit I discovered I can make it fail by lightly tapping the control/display panel with my fist in various places. If I flip the breakers off/on, it goes back to normal.

Clearly there is an intermittent component or connection I need to track down. Is there a known issue with this symptom? Also, how do I take the panel apart? Any troubleshooting or disassembly info anywhere on the net?
Thanks for any help.

LRE3083ST Electric LG oven heating to slow

Hello I have a LG electric range Model# (LRE3083ST) that stopped heating in bake, convection and broil after I put it through the clean cycle. I checked all the heaters and the continuity was good and then checked the sensor and the continuity was good. I inspected the relay board and discovered two burnt wire's coming from the relay going to the bake heater and some burnt discoloration on the back of the board. I ordered a new relay board replaced it stripped the burnt wires back and replaced the connectors. Now it is heating but taking 3 times as long to get to temp on bake and convection. Does anyone have any other ideas?? Thanks!

Blew circuit breaker

My electric range blew the circuit breaker when the oven was being turned on. I pulled it out of the counter slot. Disconnected the power. I looked at the elements. Both "look" ok. I disconnected both wires from both elements. I checked continuity from all four element tabs to ground. Should I read continuity from the red wire to the chassis........AND from the elements to the chassis? That to me sounds like a direct short........when I checked from the 3 power tabs to chassis, only the red one and the white one beeped. The black one did not..........I took the red wire off of the power block, and it read continuity to chassis "until" I unplugged that wire from the oven control. After unplugging it from the control, I didn't read continuity from red wire to chassis.......but, still read continuity from element tabs (all 4) to chassis......can somebody give me some direction here
Thanks in advance!

Does my GE XL44 gas oven have a pilot light?

Hi all,

Tomorrow my gas will need to be shut off temporarily for some work and I was wondering if my GE XL44 (model JGBP30AEW1AA) has a pilot light or not? I haven't been able to tell as searching for "GE XL44" gives many different models, some with pilot lights and some without.

Thank you for any help.

LRE30453ST Lots of buttons not working on LG range

Hello all. Trying to figure out a problem on a LG LRE30453ST range that is 7 years old. Hoping to solve issue this way instead of having to buy a new one. Which might be cheaper route, I don't know. Problem is that multiple buttons on the control panel will not work. The main one being the start button. The broil and convection buttons work but you cannot start the oven. Also, 2 of the burners will not adjust to hi or low, the element size selector does not work either and on the number pad only numbers 2, 4 and 7 work. I have tried unplugging and resetting with no luck. Tried to unplug some wires and no luck as well. Any help would be greatly appreciated before my wife and I spend our Fourth of July holiday looking at ovens.
