Trying to track down an early 90's Cooktop / Rangetop

My parents had this great cook top when they renovated our house in the early 90's. It had 4 burners, a down draft vent. It may or may not have had a griddle in the center. The stand out feature was being able to pop out a 2 burner pan and insert a grill with a straight tube burner. The grill top had black square grills running horizontal across the unit. Its very similar to the Jenn Air cooktops but no one in my family thinks it was a Jenn Air. Any ideas?

Single Thermador oven thinks it's a double

Hello! I have a single ~13 year old electric Thermador oven (model number plate is too dirty to read). When I try to turn on convection bake it gives the following error "Not available in lower oven". I had a technician come out several months ago to fix the same issue and he resolved it by pressing a series of buttons on the panel (no disassembly, no breaker reset), presumably to reset the oven and "remind" it that it's not part of a double system. He got the "code" from calling a Thermador...

Need information on Lindemann & Hoverson countertop stove

A friend asked me to look at the L&H (Lindemann & Hoverson, ca. 1957 or most likely earlier, perhaps WWII vintage) countertop stove unit that she has.

It is built into the countertop and has a wide, flat single coil (with the entire nichrome element in one flat wide tube).

The heating elements were originally sourced from Frigidaire. The voltage is 240 VAC. A replacement element is available under the Chromalox name. However, Chromalox (which is now a part of a British company) sold off...

HDI7282U/05 Bosch Dual Fuel Range broiler in oven not working

My Bosch Dual Fuel Range is about 10 years old. In the past year I noticed problems with preheating the oven and maintaining the temperature until I discovered that the hinges on the oven door were apparently sprung. An expensive service visit and expensive parts...$350 later I was back in business. That was about a month ago. Today I tried to use the broiler for the first time since that repair. It will not heat. The display indicates that the broiler is on. The blower comes...

2003 GE JGB900se stove won’t lite

Oven will not lite on its own. If I flip the pop pit on the gas valve it ignites. When bake temp is reached the burner turns off and then will not reignite again.

recently converted to LP and this issue started.

ILVE range wont light

After hooking my range up to a propane cylinder i got a small puff of propane coming out the burners but nothing more. I would light for like 2 sesonds and then go out. I took the regulator off the back and when I turn the propane cylinder on I can hear gas coming through the stove side of the regulator. I've spoke to the manufacturer and the only regulator required is the one on the back of the stove so there is a line running directly from the regulator on the stove to a 100 gallon...
