AB80KT-1 Wolf stove top igniter issue

This Wolf stovetop looks to work like any other electronic ignition. A couple of notes;
1)the complaint is that the electrodes continue to spark (the ones without gas turned on) after the gas ignites on one burner
2) 1 of the electrodes sti;ll sparks but is partially broken. (the porcelain)
3) I cleaned (rubbing alcohol) all electrodes and gas plates thoroughly and this improved the situation, but still an issue with sparking after ignition
4) sometimes if all burners on, you put a pan on one burner...sparking starts up again

is there an easy fix? replace all electrodes (they were dirty and not very well maintained


thank you in advance for your reply

shrimp disaster

Still trying to fix the oven after a flood event caused by about a gallon or more of boiling hot shrimp water being spilled all over the range. The stove still works but the spill caused everything else to black out.

So far I have replaced:

The master control board
The display panel
Oven thermostat

Just replacing the master control board did nothing. But, once I also replaced the display panel the oven came back to life and started "trying" to work.

Here's what I mean by trying: Now when I select BAKE at 350 and click START, the fan comes on and about one out of 3 times the gas will actually ignite. However, when the gas does ignite, it only stays lit for 5-15 seconds. That's why I changed out the thermostat (which had no effect). Seems like the gas just turns itself off before the oven ever begins to warm up. Oven door open vs closed doesn't seem to matter, it's just quitting on me.

There must be an electronic part or parts somewhere between the control board and the oven that still needs replacing. Something that would have been flooded by the water or shorted out during that catastrophic event.

If it helps to know, the BROIL function seems to be totally inoperable right now. Looks like it has both gas and electric hoop hardware up there but none of that is doing anything when you tell it to broil.

HELP!!!

Thanks - Dan

Vintage Wedgwood Propane "RV" stove --> to Natural Gas?

Hello all! I have a 1938 cabin with a vintage (age unknown, appears 50's) Wedgewood RV stove. It is propane, and I am curious if I can easily convert to natural gas? Built in to the cabinet, so Id prefer a little info before I start jerking things apart haha. Ive seen a regulator that is said to allow you to swap without changing orifices, but I find this hard to believe... any help would be appreciated!Attachment 39211Attachment 39212

HBL8651UC/01 Bosch Double Oven - Excessive Temperature Fluctuation

Greetings, all. Problems with a Bosch Double Oven, model HBL8651UC/01.

Out of warranty, about 2 years old. Since day one, my wife has suggested the temps seem inconsistent. Admittedly, I didn't take it very seriously and assumed it was just a matter of getting used to a new oven. We don't bake a lot.

We've a visitor staying with us who loves to bake, and immediately noticed the same thing. We've done some testing, and there does indeed appear to be an issue.

Armed with a ThermoWorks Oven Probe, we tested both the upper and lower ovens and had essentially the same results in both.

- Pre-heat to 350 worked as expected, taking the temps up to 365 before cycling off

- Both ovens drop clear to 295-300 before cycling on, again shutting off at 365

I called the only Bosch service within 100 miles, and they couldn't even advise if the above behavior was normal or not. They told me to call Bosch.

I did so, and they basically said it sounds off - but only a service technician would know for sure. They referred me back to the Bosch service center that couldn't advise if a problem exists or not.

I've skills to dig into this myself with a little guidance, but before considering that - can anyone confirm that this is indeed, excessive temperature swing? And if so, what a short list of possible fixes might be?

Thanks much.
