Comments (1)Ain't warranty service grand? Removing the oven elements could work but might not be a good idea for a couple of reasons. First, if you do it without telling GE and the service company, they could treat that as unauthorized work and void your warranty. So call them both before you try it. Second, the problem is in the control circuit boards not in the heating elements. When you remove the oven elements you will have two wires for each projecting into the oven. They will be electrically hot whenever the stove is plugged in (because the oven-on-off is stuck in the "on" position.) You have to be very careful about properly capping and insulating the ends. Also, GE might be thinking that there might be a fire hazard with the circuit-board controllers. If so, it might be insisting you leave the stove unplugged until warranty service is done....See Morerecommendations for electric range
Comments (0)I just purchased a new KitchenAid free standing electric range. The outside surfaces of the range get hot enough to severely burn skin when the oven is in normal use. I am seeking recommendations on any free standing electric ranges that do not get so very hot on the outside surfaces when the oven is in use. I am finding that new ranges I have researched seem to have this same issue but are within UL standards. My 10 year old Kenmore electric range did not get too hot on the outside surfaces during normal use, just warm to the touch....See MoreNew Range needed_Am I crazy to stick with Electric Coils?
Comments (50)>>>"Way better than a propane countertop option."<<< Well, if you have generator the next time Texas gets cold. . . :>) Good countertop induction cookers (a/k/a Portable Induction Cooktops or PICs) can be "way better" as long as you have power, but many of the inexpensive models are seriously deficient when it comes to a "design for those who want more stove top temperature control" as Jan DeKenis sought. If considering buying a PIC to check out induction, you might want to have a look at recent articles at Cooks Illustrated, CenturyLife, and Wirecutter to get some recommendations on choosing one of the better PIC models. When it comes to full scale electric cooking appliances, though, Pittsburrito is correct that induction stoves and cooktops are very much the electric option with as much (sometimes more) "stovetop temperature control" than gas appliances....See More24" electric range recommendations
