Do you have a good kitchen appliance store nearby you can task with finding you what you want?

Probably.

So odd that it shows many sources when you google for them...none of those places (Sears, Lowes, JCPenney AJMadison) can get their hands on one for you? Maybe go to the manufacturer's websites and see where they suggest you buy them. Several manufacturers pop up as still making them. Very strange that no one has them.

I like this place because of it's easy search function...(nope. Don't work for them, but have purchased)

If it's a once piece unit, flat top stove with an oven below, stands on the floor......? They are ALL the rage! Totally IN STYLE! They still command a higher price too.

If it's just a drop in stove top w/ an oven then a cabinet drawer under it?....then yes...totally out of style.

OklaMoni - you are too funny. We call it a slide in range in New England - they are hard to source. I hate to cook on electric. - gas is my medium. In our now full time home, we initially installed an electric downdraft range with a grill on one side. It totally sucked. Eventually it self destructed. I paid to have a 50 gallon propane tank installed for our slide in gas range - wanted the old fashioned cast enameled surface but got flat black glass top. A real pain in the ass to clean and never is.

I can vouch for Goedeckers. When we remodeled our kitchen five years ago i ordered our DW, slide in range and microwave from them. Good prices and service. Everything arrived on time and were packaged well.

In Chicagoland -- and on the internet -- it's Abt Appliances.

Are y'all saying nobody wants separate cooktops and ovens today? I'm confused (not a new thing). I thought a slide-in range was a narrow, freestanding *range*, i.e., oven with burners on top. The ones I see have no 'backstop'; controls are on the front. They come with flat panels to cover the spaces between range and countertop.

Drop in and slide in are 2 different things. The drop in does not go to the floor there is cabinet strip at the bottom. It's also not a separate cook top and oven. It's a totally different style. It is rare that I see them. You likely will have to order online. It's not a difficult task to have a carpenter make the adjustments to your cabinet and use a stand alone slide in. But as Joe mentioned it may involve cutting the countertops and installing a different type or location of plug or gas line depending on the type.

Example of dropin

Ah-hah! Thanks.

I have a cooktop over three deep drawers and an oven/microwave combo in a nearby cabinet. (Won't do combo again; microwaves die much earlier than ovens.)

True about the microwave having a shorter life span....

The op said that her "stove/oven" died, so my conclusion was that she wanted what she said, which was a drop in range and not a slide in range (to the floor) or a cooktop only (no oven)...

Maybe she'll stop by and say hi sometime?? :)

Thank you all for your comments. I want to try not to have to have the cabinets cut - just can't afford it right now - but I will definitely try all of your suggestions. Thanks!

We moved into a home with a drop in range too, back in 1975. We found it limited our selection and raised the price which we really couldn't afford back then. So, like Moni, we got rid of the base. There's not really much to it. Freed us up to select any type of stoves we wanted all these years.

When we visited our friend for a couple of days last month, he showed us his stove. The appliances came with the condo, and 2 burners on the stove no longer work. This doesn't really bother him all that much, as he's not an avid cook, he gets by with small appliances and the other 2 working burners.

It's a slide in stove, and he's been looking, and can't find any with those measurements any more. The new ones are wider and it'll be expensive cutting the countertop to make it fit.

My range is also a slide in one. When we bought this place it had a G.E. slide in range and I think they were only 28 inches, not the 30. So I had that a couple of times, but I wanted a different range, bigger. My son in law was able to pull the bottom cabinets out after cutting apart the back cabinet as there was enough over hang on the counter top. Oh, this is in an island. Placing a trim board over the back of the outside cabinet to cover the cut. Now I have a full size slide in range. Frigidaire electric slide in range. White smooth top one. I do really like it over the coil type. Mine came from Lowe's. Most all of my appliances come from there.

Jasdip if his range has coil burner elements those are usually replaceable and just pull out and plug in. He may just need to replace the elements. I have done that in the past.
