Jenn-Air WW30430b KW rating neeeded

I'm replacing a single wall oven with a double Jenn-Air unit. This is a 1999 model--WW30430B. Does anyone know what the total KW rating is? I can't read the KW rating off the plate. My current wiring is 10-gauge, 3-conductor romex from a double-pole 30-amp breaker. Do I have to upgrade wiring to 6-gauge and a 60-amp breaker?
THANKS!

GE Cafe Gas Cooktop: Ignitor nor light panel not working

Hello:
I did a detailed cleaning of the Cooktop yesterday. THe cooktop has five burners and lock/unlock knob. Before cleaning, I turned the knob to lock position. I removed all the the knobs soaked in water to clean it. Putting everything back and I turned to the unlock position. I tried to light one of the burner. However, the ignitor didnt give any clicking noise, but the gas is flowing. Moreover, when the burner knob is turned, there would be a blue glow under the knobs. Now I dont see that. Electric short circuit??? No trips in the main panel. Thank you in advance for your assistance.

Switch Burner Leads

I have a Tappan gas range, model 285647B. The front left burner won't light. The back right burner wouldn't light either. I replaced the ignitors. That fixed the back right (it had a chip out of it and wasn't sparking), but didn't fix the front left burner. For the heck of it, I switched the leads going to the front left and rear left burners and now they both light! Is this OK to do? Will it cause any other problems, or doesn't it matter which burner each lead goes to?

Stoves Electric Oven - Works Fine Until I Turn The Knobs to OFF

Hi

We are about to move house and we have a strange issue with out stoves electric fan oven.

It broke a few years ago and we had an engineer out who 'fixed' it.

The behavior we are seeing is that the oven works totally fine and you could leave it on for hours and it wouldnt cut off.
Once you have cooked your food if you turn the temp dial and function dial back to the off position the metal front casing begins to get hot and then the oven cuts off. once the temperature drops to around 100 the oven comes back on and will work absolutely fine.

You can stop this from happening by turning the temperature knob to 0 and then leaving the function knob at fan oven until the temperature drops to around 100.

I suspect the engineer has bypassed something but I am not an electrician so wouldnt know exactly what?

Does anyone know if this is something that could be fixed without too much expense?

thanks in advance

Gary

LRE30757ST/01 LG Range bake element melted

I've been having trouble with my oven since the first year we got, July 2010. I got a lot of f-4 error codes, especially if I tried cooking on 350 or lower. Then, the temp kept going up when I was baking unless I would keep opening the door or turn it off and turn it back on. The extended warranty repairmen kept telling me nothing was wrong:mad:.:mad: I've been having trouble getting the temp over 350 for a while now but no more error codes.

I opened the back and "bake" on the pcb has a burned area and about 8" of the hidden bake element is actually MELTED to the bottom of the hidden section of the oven.

There are other sections that are also fried like in the photo. I have to idea how to get the melted part unstuck from the bottom because it is stuck on there pretty good. So far nothing I've stuck in there will unstick it and of course it's at the front while I'm working from the back. Any help would be appreciated and is it even worth fixing.
