HE Café Induction CCHS950P2M4S1 Range does not work

About every month, the range stops working. When I turn the knobs, the light around the knob does not come on, and the induction element does not start. After about a week, it starts working again. I bought it 11 months ago, and is still under warranty. However, they've been out twice and have no idea what is wrong as it returned to normal function by the time the tech shows up.

The oven continues to work throughout.

Anyone else have this issue?

Where to find a WB24X5285 replacement thermostat for our GE J ASO3 R3 oven ...

Hi, all!

We have in a vacation cabin a 20+ year-old little GE J ASO3 R3 range whose thermostat appears to be dying or dead. At first the oven simply ran a pretty constant hot, but now it appears to go up and down, requiring pretty constant watching to cook anything effectively. Unfortunately, the WB24X5285 thermostat I think I've found in the GE diagram has been discontinued ... and nobody lists a replacement! Uh oh.

We'd love to not have to go and find another tiny unit like...

Can a tech recommend a reliable well built propane gas range for me?

I have an older model GE Gas Range JGBP26GEJ4AD from the eighties which is well made and has been incredibly reliable. My wife wants a new stove and despite my trying to convince her that none of them are as well made she insists.

Having serviced them can one of you recommend a reasonably well made brand (or model) that won't have obsolete parts in four years? I know the electronic controls seem to be the most trouble prone parts on the newer ones besides the thinner metal so any type...

Wolf DF304 NG to LP

Hi I have a 30in Wolf DF304 I'm looking to convert from NG to LP. Wolf tells me due to its age its a "liability" and will not sell me a conversion. I've done some research, it seems simple enough to convert the regulator to LP. My question is of anybody could lead me in the correct direction for orifice sizing. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Wedgewood stove - oven wont heat, no gas hissing sound, pilot is lit, burners still work.

I have an old wedgewood stove, and used the oven and broiler fine the other day.
Afterwards the house smelled strongly of gas so I aired it out and relit the pilot which had gone out.
The pilot is still lit, but now when I try to bake the oven and broiler won't get hot. There is no sound of hissing gas like usual.
Anyone have any idea what's going?
The pilot is lit, I can't find any emergency cut off buttons or switches anywhere ( I have not pulled it away from the wall), and the burners...

LP to NG Conversion Wolf Gourmet AS30KI-4 (1999)

Good Day,

Purchased a pre-owned 30" Wolf Gourmet AS30KI-4 range. This was manufactured in October 1999 about six months before Sub Zero bought the brand. Looks to be in nice condition and seller stated such. Just picked up so have not even had a chance to plug in, still sitting in van. If its weight is an indication of the quality then this is a fantastic range.
It is currently set up for LP, I need to convert it to natural gas. Purchased the conversion kit through Dvorsons for...
