Kitchenaid Double Oven blowing thermal fuse

I have replaced both of the thermal fuses multiple times now. No other symptoms. We do not run the auto clean cycle since the first thermal fuse went out. The ovens are both kept very clean. i.e. always use foil, no messes, exist to build up and catch at high temps. We've never baked at above 425 degrees, and never use the convection setting. It's not an overly expensive part but it's a real pain in the butt to replace by yourself. I've tried turning it off at the breaker and letting it sit for up to a day and turning it back on. Each time I remove the thermal fuse and check it with a continuity tester and they're bad. I put the new ones in and juice it up and it works for a month or so and poof, out again. I'll take whatever advice you got. I'm not skilled, I have no special tools, other than the ones it takes to do what I've mentioned. The dang thing is about 37.50 away from the curb.

VESO107CSS Viking Oven Parts?

I am trying to find parts for my slightly older Viking oven. It's not too terribly old. It was built in 2005. I cannot find any parts for this thing, not even on Viking's own site. The problem is I can no longer adjust the clock or the timer on it. It otherwise seems to work fine but I cannot time any baking on it. I tried to find a new control board but only found used ones which had no guarantees. I'm not even sure of the part number because I can't find any parts diagrams. My wife says not to worry about it but it drives me nuts that I can fix something. Does anyone have any leads on a parts diagram so I can find the part by the part number?
Thanks.

Is it just the clock/oven computer panel?

So, not sure if this is a simple fix, or time to buy new? Oven is 11 yrs old. First, the "cancel" button that turns over off failed. We now have to shut off oven by switching the breaker.
I was going to buy the replacement computer piece, but while deciding (it's an expensive part!), then it started having problems heating up. Like an hour to get to 350. Or sometimes it says it's at 350 but you know it's not...reenter temp and it goes back to preheat and says it's at like 250...
I thought it was a heating element issue...but is this likely related to computer issue as well? Is it worth getting the part, or is it time to spend $1k and replace?

Amana oven digital clock resets every time wash machine pulls power.

EDIT: I erronously put down the wrong age. It's from 2001 so It's 16 years old. I think.
They're both on the same line. Wash machine is in the basement, oven is on the next floor directly above it, so they share the same outlet. Gas stove. We didn't have this issue with our old wash machine. We replaced the old wash machine with a GE that drew a lot of power. The lights flickered constantly. We got rid of it and bought a speedqueen. Lights don't flicker with the new machine, but 75% of the time we ran the speedqueen, during one part of the cycle, the digital timer would reset on the Amana oven. However, It would not flip the breaker.

We let this linger on for 6 months until now the digital timer's buttons are unresponsive. The cancel button beeps and the oven light switch still works. For obvious reasons, we can't bake.

I'm not an expert in electronics, but maybe either a battery for the digital clock ran empty and relied on power from the outlet, or a capacitor failed so for the split second there's a surge when the wash machine pulls it can't restore the original time, because of the oven's age, it was just a matter of time the board would fail anyway?

I don't want to repair or buy a new oven without knowing if this is an electrical issue. What would be the proper test to perform? Can I do it myself checking the outlet while the wash machine is running or something?

THank you!!!!

Bosch Dual Range HDI8054U

Small amount of boiling water spilled on the stove top (perhaps unrelated), alarm sounded, although the panel oven was blinking there was no readable error code. After the alarm stopped there was a red light on but nothing was accessible on oven panel. Oven control panel is now totally off. Oven light inside oven is still on, so there is power. Resetting circuit did nothing. Gas range still works. Took off the oven panel front but control is still well attached. Any ideas?

Thanks in advance!

40" Wide Electric range

I need to replace an electric range from the 1980's that is 40" wide. To my surprise, that size is not available except for a single Frigidaire Gallery model that is priced over $3000.

Any idea where I could find a more normally priced (500-1K) 40" wide electric range?

FIXED: LRE30451ST LG Range Oven Overheating

Hello, My wife set the oven to 350 yesterday to bake cookies, preheat to 350 and beeped and cookies went in, a little bit later we smelled burning, cookies were black, broiler element seemed to remain on and stove was extremely hot. The stove still said 350 but was not cycling on/off and temp was over 500 degrees. Shut it down and it cooled off, stove was unplugged and took the back off, tried to test the temp probe, but pins of my ohm meter didn't fit in the connector. I see online how it could be a number of thing. Was wondering any way I could narrow it down, hoping to get another year or two out of it. I also saw while researching that this model and my serial was involved in a recall that I never had done.

Thanks for any help.

Samsung FX710BGS oven won't ignite...

I'm having some odd problems with my Samsung range. The oven will not ignite unless I lite one of my stovetop burners for a few seconds and then it will work just fine. My range also makes a high pitched whine when oven is running or when some of the stovetop burners are lit. I'm suspecting a faulty regulator. Any thoughts?

Magic Chef gas oven slow to ignite 31FA-2KX

About week ago, we turned our gas oven (Magic Chef 31FA-2KX) on and found that it did now heat up. We saw that the igniter glowed, the gas flowed, but did not ignite. So, I replaced the igniter with a genuine OEM igniter. Now it ignites but there is a long (25 second) delay and mini-explosion.

Here is what happens now with the brand new igniter installed:
1) Turn oven on, after about 15 seconds, the igniter begins to glow brighter and brighter
2) About 30 seconds later, I hear the gas flowing to the burner
3) About 25 seconds after the gas starts flowing, it ignites, and when it does, there is a mini-explosion and flames shoot out of the gaps in the oven.
4) Once it does light, the burner flame is strong and blue coming from all the holes.

We thought we had a weak igniter, and just replaced the igniter with a genuine OEM factory igniter.
I pulled the burner out and it appears to be in perfect condition, no rust or soot, and all of the holes are completely open.
When the burner does light, it appears to have a good normal flame coming from all the holes and the flame is completely blue.
It seems like as it gets hotter, it ignites quicker. We made one pizza in this oven after we put the new igniter in, and it heats up to temperature (400) normally, and when the oven is hot, the gas ignites after just a couple of seconds. But when it's cold, the first light is very slow and has mini-explosion.
I did measure 120V at the igniter.


Thanks in advance for any help!

High Pitch noise coming from oven

Hi , my gas oven makes a high pitched noise when it's turned on. When my stove top is turned on, there is no noise at all. However, as soon as I turn on the oven part, it starts to whistle. I was thinking of replacing the whole oven because I'm afraid it could be a leak or something like it. I don't know if it will cost me less money in the long run if I call someone to look at it.. please help...
