I am afraid that it is probably terminal. I have disliked this oven since the moment I first used it almost 3 years ago. It here when we moved in. I guess for some reason I never noticed that all of the temperature markings around the knobs were worn off. I suppose I could have looked for new plastic pieces to fit on the oven, but I didn't. The temperature markings were not on the knobs themselves, but on a plastic ring around the knob. I bought an oventhermometer instead. After some time the oven began keeping an irregular temperature. It would set it for what was 350, and it would sometimes go up as high as 425 at that setting. If I set it just a little lower, it might never get up to 350. I kept wondering why my bread would smell done 10 minutes before the timer was due to go off. Finally, this oven began leaking gas when it would first turn on. At first it was just for a minute or two, then it would begin to heat up and all would be well. Then it got to the point where it would take longer to heat and the gas would be in the air longer. Then last week it just stopped heating. The pilot light was not lighting when we turned on the oven. This oven has an electric ignition on it. I loved my old, old oven that I could light manually. I could use it even if the power was out. Now I am in a position to look for a new oven. I would really like one that could be started manually as we lose power quite regularly here. I understand that Kenmore might make some that are able to do this. So, if anyone has great oven recommendations, I would be open to any and all suggestions. I do not like not having an oven as I make all our bread and baked goods. Blessings, |
