The burners are doing very well! I wondered about the loose wire but from what I can tell from a wiring diagram from the next year's model stove the switches have two wires going to them and a neutral. Given that the three highest settings work, would that not mean the wires are fine? Or...

My stove (link to photo below) has five two coil, 3 wire burners each with a six position, five temperature rotary switch to control them. On one of them the lowest two settings produce no heat whatsoever. I tested the burner element and it showed continuity through both coils so don't think...

Picked up and now have installed in the kitchen a 1951 Moffat 5 burner stove with two ovens, warming drawer and storage drawer. Of the five burners, only one has the full range of 5 temperature settings. On testing the coils with a multimeter it turns out four of the burners have at least one...

Looking to get those more knowledgeable than myself to weigh in on this. Is the stove top on a 1950 Moffat double oven stove able to lift up or is it screwed in? If it is screwed in, does anybody have any ideas how to remove it so I can clean under the top after the elements have been...

The photos there are not my actual stove; just the same model. Mine needs a bit more cleaning before I can get decent shots. It was in a rental unit andnot cleaned as frequently as it should have been... The undersides of the trim rings are pretty rustyand the wires into the elements are...

Well I have solved part of the mystery. The top left knob on the backsplash works with the automatic timer function. It's called the Select-o-matic! You turn it to Oven, Top Plate or Outlet, set the desired temperature on whichever you want to use on its temperature control/knob and it turn...

Got me! I was (and still am) hoping someone either has one and can enlighten me or knows where I can get my hands on a manual. I'd love a wiring diagram too! The stove clearly had one glued to the back but it has long since been torn off...

There is actually only one timer... the right hand knob. The left hand one rotates to one of four settings - Oven, Non-Auto, Top Plate, etc. But the oven goes on without it being set to oven... so we can't think what it does. The toggle switch for the warming drawer is on the left of the...

Hello all, I just acquired my first vintage stove, a 1950 Moffat electric with two ovens and a warming drawer. It came out of the kitchen it had been installed in new and mostly works. I was wondering if anyone out there has a copy of a manual for this stove or a similar one. There are...
