Thermador wall oven SMW272YW relay replacement part number needed

Broiler will come on but not the bake element. Circuit board not available so it's either fix the board or replace the whole oven. Problem is probably a power relay: Omron G8P-UA-006206, is 30A 250VAC. I can't find a replacement and apparently Omron doesn't make one with this part number any more. Another forum post gave a replacement relay for a very similar relay ending in 006203 for a Frigidaire wall oven. The new number is G8P-1A4 ... something like that. Difference is in the coil voltage. Do you have any way to cross-reference the old relay number for a relay that is currently manufactured? Thanks for your help!

Viking Range - Can oven igniters physically burn out?

Hi All. I have a Viking range oven that the ignitors went bad on and I just replaced. I noticed now that it is working again there are flames directly hitting the ignitor. Seems a hole was burnt or coroded or something in the burner rail next to the ignitor and now yellow flames are lapping right on the unit. How hot are these things designed to get? Is it possible for the flame to physically burn up the ignitor?

Thermador insulation bag

Hi – I am restoring a 20 year old thermador 48in range with 2 ovens. The larger oven has an insulation “bag” lining the right side panel - plus 2 layers of a half inch white insulation outward from the bag. The smaller oven does not have this bag, so I assume the bag is additional insulation to support the self-cleaning temperature of the larger oven.

The bag has been ripped and the insulation inside appears crumbled into a fine brown dust. This part is no longer available from Bosch. Do you have something you would recommend? Im sorry that I don’t know enough about insulation materials to describe this better. The bag looks something like Kevlar and the insulation inside is the color of coffee with a lot of milk, portions of it seem like it was originally pressed into a form and has now deteriorated into a fine dust.

Thanks, John

GE Profile Induction Cooktop Range

I have an induction range that stopped working last night - the control panel went blank but the oven light would come on when the door was open. I turned the breaker of for a few minutes then on but nothing changed. An hour later the clock started blinking, I reset it and everything worked. This morning the control panel was blank; this renders the oven and stove top completely inoperable. Any thoughts?

Kenmore cooktop 911.42709100 right front burner only works on high

Hi All,

The right front burner on the cooktop only works on high. As soon as you turn off high, burner shuts off. The other three burners work fine. It has been this way for a couple of years but my wife saw the July 4th Lowe's sale and told me to repair it or replace it! Ouch

Also, if there is a known repair, is the expense (part$ and time to dis-assemble) worth it or should I just stick a fork in it and buy a new one?

I have looked for new but I am not seeing offerings with the cut out size of mine 28 5/8 x 19 1/2
I do not have the assembly manual but it doesn't look too difficult.

Thanks in advance for any assistance. You have always been very helpful in the past.

Keith

DCS Cooktop - attaching the gas line

Hello all,

I am looking for some help. I have an electric cooktop that is old and I am replacing it with a DCS 30" gas cooktop (model CDV-304-N). The gas line is already there, I just need to hook it up. But I've never worked with gas - I can do it, just need some advice. The gas line outlet is female. The yellow gas connector they gave me fits it nicely, and it appears it has it's own regulator in it (right?). But the cooktop came with a regulator also, and the red tag says "you must use it" but if you read the last line, maybe what it is really saying is "the gas flow must be regulated". So maybe the yellow line takes care of that. Thoughts? Would it be bad that I have 2 regulators possibly? Also, the reason I started thinking about this, is because the yellow gas line doesn't connect to the DCS regulator - both are female. So I thought I'd have to go buy a male to male adaptor, but that is just another "connection" i'd have to make, and another thing to tape and test for leaks. I can do it, but do I need to??

Also, do I use thread tape on every connection, or just to the gas line itself?

Also, my max BTU's are 65,000. Is it ok that this connector hose has a higher capacity range?
