Parsnip Totin Jack ★ Posted September 22, 2021 Share #1 Posted September 22, 2021 Wo7 and I are shopping for a new range oven combo. I’m looking through Costco’s selection and looking at this one that looks like it will go well with our decor. Top is the stock photo, bottom is our kitchen. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Razors Edge ★ Posted September 22, 2021 Share #2 Posted September 22, 2021 Is the original broken or just looking for an upgrade? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

End of life is getting closer. It’s running on propane and the oven gets a layer of soot over a month or so due to poor combustion. The burner igniters are having performance issues as well. We had service take a look at it and they said replace in the next 12 months. We have a homeowner warranty to cover part of the costs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoseySusan Posted September 22, 2021 Share #4 Posted September 22, 2021 What fuels the new range and oven? I like my double ovens. Roasted veggies and baked a ham at the same time at vastly different temperatures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2Far ★ Posted September 22, 2021 Share #6 Posted September 22, 2021 Wo2 just said she'd never have another black-topped range. She's also jonesing for one of these: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roasted veggies and baked a ham at the same time at vastly different temperatures. It is natural gas. We would have to convert it to propane as that is what we have. I could convert to electric but that would require an electrician to install a 240 outlet. I’d rather not have an overhead microwave; I’ll replace that with a good exhaust fan and light. Microwave can sit on a counter somewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like it is almost time to take it out back and put it out of its misery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maddmaxx ★ Posted September 22, 2021 Share #11 Posted September 22, 2021 Find out where the oven heat vent is. The white stoves I've had have all discolored there from the heat over time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Razors Edge ★ Posted September 22, 2021 Share #12 Posted September 22, 2021 FTR @Old No. 7, the BEST time to do a full kitchen remodel is when you are getting new appliances (and vice versa). That way, all the appliances MATCH. All the appliances FIT. And all the appliances COMPLEMENT the rest of the kitchen design and layout. It's why @MickinMD burned his house down, and why @Dirtyhip started from scratch. WAY EASIER than getting a new range, noticing something doesn't quite fit or look right, changing some other stuff, still seeing disharmony, and getting sucked into a series of changes that eat up time, budgets, and sanity. Just gut the kitchen and start FRESH! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
