American Range Wall Ovens
Comments (4)We have TWO gas wall ovens and they are giving us a lot of trouble. They both will heat to temp but then cool down a great deal. the thermostat will call for more gas (blue light is on) and the igniter is glowing but no gas enters the oven. After it finally comes back on it works well. It take about an hour to go through that first cycle however. Three service calls latter we are still in the same boat and have ruined many baked goods. Hopefully when fixed we will finally have two great ovens! Replaced the thermostat and the igniters now working on replacing the gas valves....See MoreAmerican range French double door oven
Comments (9)here you go....I promise I am not a mean person and very forgiving but I have heart ached about this problem for the last 6 months. Unfortunately I have been dealing with it for 15 months. One of my hobbies is cooking, and i researched at least one year before i made the decision on wall oven type which turned out being the American range French door deal. Electric. If you have ever looked at it you would think that its the"real deal" Significant amount of money, but what the hey, its what i do and will last forever. The whole kitchen was redone including the oven which i used to own a 5 star. Worked great.. got rid of it because i put a stove top in middle of room and wall oven on, well, the wall... anyway as for aesthetics as i said the oven looks awesome. As for its abilities....... It takes 40 mins to hit 450 degrees. It takes 20 mins to hit 350. very odd. It also porpoises (rises above and below desired temperature) widely (50-70 degrees) making it very difficult to bake precisely. I put in a stand alone temp gauge after making sure it worked and watch the circus start inside the oven. its very difficult to cook breads, pastries and persnickety meats. What a let down with regard to the "Great American Range" company. I would expect this oven to have come from china. I called the company, they seem as nice as can be, but aloof as to the cause. Brad Gilbertson and I have been back and forth maybe10 times about a possible fix.... same answer... well we seem to be getting close. Odd for such a simple oven to be such a problem. I am ok with things that don't work. We live in a universe of chaos. it happens. However the response for the company is what I can't forget. One would think that if the unit was that good because of simplicity and the price was that high you might get at least some help from the company. Once I asked if they could exchange ovens or i could change to gas.... Mistake..... the sales guy tried to sell me another oven.. thats when I started thinking about blowing the whistle on them. My personal impression is, if a few customers are unhappy.... do whats right with the customer... if everyone is unhappy.. change something with the product.. btw I have bought the Capital Culinarian Rangetop with six burners and a 24 inch grill top. The hood by Modern Air is purchased along with it otherwise your house will be like the inside of a wood stove. That unit together is my favorite stove ever.. Lots of heat lots of eyes everything about it down to the aesthetics is fantastic. I thank Trevor at eurostoves for the help. He knows what he is talking about. Funny thing he told me about his gas american range was that it had a problem too when they installed it.. something with the gas line. Anyway..I have been forced to grind an ax and the sharp end will be American Range....See MoreAmerican Range hybrid wall oven ???s
Comments (2)I have . IT has been two weeks. I just wondered how the blue lights work on the AR ovens. I also thought someone might have had a similar problem. Electrician says 220 has power....See MoreAmerican Range Wall Ovens
Comments (2)Still looking for info? My hybrid double oven has both gas and electric. After installation we found out the electric oven does not work at all. Called AR and reported it. They said they would send a repairman. No calls and no repairman. Installed it on April 30. Sent AR an email 8-10 days ago and I got two emails back. So sorry to hear about it...we will send someone out right away...you will get a call in a few more hours ...at least within 24 hours. It is Memorial Day weekend and I still haven't heard from anyone. On a good note, I love the gas oven and broiler. It is super easy to clean. Nothing gets in the way. Take racks out and wipe off. Then you have a box to clean. No electric coil thingy in the way....See MorePeke
