SOURCE: dacor range natural gas to LP

I have the ERD36 and it runs on LP. Is this purchase a used oven? If not, I would tell the dealer to order it for LP.

SOURCE: ge profile range door wont close

My GE Oven door won't close all the way. I just bought the house so i do not know what caused the problem. Please help

SOURCE: lofra five burner gas cooker, oven door not closing properly,

I had the same problem and took the door apart. The hinge has a spring inside which is held in place by a long rivet. The metal of the rivet is too soft and it bends and snaps. You cannot get a replacement hinge anywhere. I even tried Italy and France. Lofra won't speak to you by e-mail or phone. The next thing that happened was the element disintegrated in the ovan. These are the worst cookers on the market.

SOURCE: Dacor gas range. I'm trying to figure out why it

Electric gas igniters sometimes get stuck in one position causing a clicking sound. The clicking sound that you hear is the electric arc that is pulsing from the igniter conductor (wire) to ground (the gas burner). It receives power from the electrical outlet that the stove is plugged into.
Residue from food and sometimes cleaning products may be preventing the igniter from producing a spark (Arc) to the base of the burner. This is a common problem that occurs when the stove has been cleaned or food is allowed to build up. Make sure that the igniter and the burner base are clean and dry. This will help with proper operation. Oven cleaner and a small tooth brush may be used to accomplish this. Another problem with ignition may occur if you have too little (touching) or too much space between the igniter and the base of the burner; it will prevent the burner from igniting. You should only have a little more space than the thickness of a nickel between the burner base and the igniter. A good “blue” arc from the igniter to the burner base is optimal. If this doesn’t work, you may need to replace the electric igniter module. Good luck.

SOURCE: I have a 6 burner,

Hello,

Welcome to FixYa.

Based on the info you've provided in your post, specifically "The left-front burner (extra-low burner) doesn\'t spark and its gas doesn\'t turn on."

...I suspect you've got a faulty potentiometer ( burner switch for Xtra lo burners). Especially since you've stated the other burners are all OK, that pretty much rules out the simmer control and ignition module.

This is what I'm referring to...



Thus if it fails no current flows and the gas coil won't open and the ignitor won't spark.

Replacing the part can be fairly involved as it requires removing the front control panel of the range, you may want to call a pro, If not let me know and I'll try to assist you in any manner I can going forward.

I also have a service manual for most of the professional ranges from Thermador, even if not exactly like yours the operation and disassembly/service will be the same. I could only provide that via email though so you'd need to post an email address, your call.

I'll watch for your post and we can go from there. Thank's for visiting FixYa today. Good luck.

Regards,

Macmarkus :)
