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...
