1970’s GE double range griddle burner

Hello, looking for advice on repairing the right front burner of my 1979’s era GE. According to my MIL, “It was originally designed for a flat grill where all steaks, sautéing, pancakes, etc. were done. Had a special grill that fit on it with built in grease drain.”
Currently there is just a hole there where this apparent griddle used to be. I’m not sure why it quit working but I would love to either find the griddle part or try to convert to a coil burner like the other 3. Any advice?

JennAir cooktop not sparking

I have a great but old (1994) JennAir downdraft cooktop model # CVG2420B. Just returned from an extended trip and none of the 4 burners will spark. Definitely getting gas and can light with Bic lighter. All power is plugged in and fan working. After researching, it may be the spark module? - parts numbers: Y705823/AP4292539 replaced by WPY705823. Problem is- ALL of these are discontinued. Anyone know of a generic part that could replace this? Or if it could be something else?

Thank you,
Nicole

PCS130B Dacor wall oven bake element not heating

Hey everyone, posting here because I am running out of ideas on my dacor wall oven. Common problem, oven was not heating up as fast as it used to and the bake element appears to be the culprit at first glance since it was not heating. I have been doing a lot of research on this site and others to try to fix the problem. At this point, I have 120v going to both bake element terminals and my bake element looks fine upon inspection and demonstrates continuity with a multimeter. So, power to...

Thor oven & broiler not lighting

I have a Thor 36 inch Pro-style 6 Burner Gas Range. It's setup to use propane. Both the oven and broiler no longer light. Both stopped working at the same time. Both igniters glow when they are turned on. If either one or the other had stopped lighting I would have figured it was the igniter, but since both stopped working at the same time I'm thinking it's something else. Also, I changed the oven igniter a couple months ago so it's unlikely that's the issue (but i guess still possible)...

Dacor rv36 downdraft fan motor not working. Control buttons light up and lift motor working. Question: does fuse connected to fan motor operation only

Fan motor not working. Lift motor OK. Control buttons light up

Could probably be the fuse.? Or does fuse protect electrical for whole unit, not just fan motor as schematic seems to indicate?

Viking Vgsc305 one oven burner won’t lite

Hi all, I have a Vgsc305 Viking I converted to Natural. Owner I bought it from had LP and complained that the oven didn’t get hot enough for baking. Well the right oven bake burner doesn’t work. Left works fine, but right has no gas going to it. Igniters on both work perfect. But when gas valve opens there is no gas going to the right side orifice if you cover with finger. Wondering if gas valve went bad? Anyone experience this?

BGRP34520SS Blomberg gas oven bake/boil not working

Hello i have a blomberg gas oven model BGRP34520SS which is only 3 years old. This has no digital display or keypads even. The bake and the broil igniters don't ignite and it never heats up. There is one on the top and bottom of the oven. I do hear some clicking once in a while after about 10 seconds but nothing heats. I did isolate the broil(igniter up top) and measured the resistance to be 162 ohms. is this too high of a value? On the blogs i have read it's okay between 80 and 180...
