Update: Just got the model number of the Stratoliner. It looks to be RB46A-55. Is that a 1955 model or is the year represented by the A? If yes, what year is represented by A? The model number of my Speedster is CJ405NA1 and according to the service manual, the N signifies 1956. 40 is supposed...

I have a beautiful 1956 GE Speedster range in my cabin that's been in my family for 43 years. I love it. It works perfectly except this year the oven thermostat failed on it. I am still trying to find a good used or NOS replacement for it so I can keep using the original oven controls working in...

I'm located in Western Canada and wish to purchase a vintage stove in Portland OR from a charity store. The stove is identical to one that I have and that's been in my family for 43 years and it was already vintage when we got it. I need that stove for spare parts to keep my beautiful stove...

I have a 1956 GE stove in my cabin that I'd like to keep going for the next 50 years. It's been in my family for 43 years so it means a lot to me. Parts for it are hard and sometimes impossible to find. I need a donor unit I can strip for parts to keep it going. I found an almost identical...

... My 1959 GE has a generic universal replacement thermostat, so the seperate bake, broil, off knob won't affect being able to use the universal replacement... Does that mean that I could use the universal thermostat replacement and still be able to use the bake/broil/pre-heat/off knob and...

I have no idea. This unit has the separate temperature and Bake/Broil/Pre-heat dials/controllers. Most modern ovens don't have this type of set-up so I don't know if a generic thermostat that works with that kind of system can work with this sort of system. Someone at Atlas appliances looked up...

I just did some searching on eBay and Google and can't find a WB20K10184. As a matter of fact, a search on Google for WB20K10184 returns exactly zero hits. Not very encouraging... I can, however, find other WB20K10 thermostats but with different numbers after the 10. They all must be similar to...

Okay, what I've been able to determine is the thermostats are part number WB20K10184. Is that correct? I've also determined the part is NLA and there is nothing available that supersedes it. Looks like I'm searching for good used or NOS. Anybody got these or know where I can find them?

Just received a new report from the renters who are in there now. They report that the oven is now working but now is way too hot. First the elements were barely heating up and now they're working but the temperature is way too high. I admit I'm no expert on oven repair but based on laymen's...

It looks like the model number is CJ405NA1. Does that sound right?

I should have a pic of the ID plate tomorrow. I'm aware it may just be a wiring problem but the cabin is a long way from me and I can't get out there very often. I want to be prepared for any eventuality and have any parts I might need with me when I next go out there so I can almost be assured...

In reading tuquoisedude's comments I see that the thermostat may also be the issue. I should get one of those too so I also need a part number for that as well. I seem to recall the oven ran either hot or cold so a new thermostat may be in order no matter what.

Okay, the report is back from the renters. The elements barely get warm on either bake or broil settings. I guess that likely rules out the elements and points to either the oven control or wiring. At this point, I want to purchase an oven control for it because even if it's not the problem...

The stove elements all work fine. I don't know if it works on broil mode but I'll ask them to try that setting and report back.

Hello, I've got this beautiful 1956 GE Stove in my cabin. We've owned it for 43 years since we bought our first cabin. My Mother loved it so much she had it moved over to the next cabin that we built 40 years ago and it has worked very reliably since. I'm 400 miles away from the cabin right...

I just I just want to say thank you to all those people on this fantastic forum who have helped me along the way with this project. It appears to have been a complete success! With the help and guidance of many knowledgeable people on this forum I went out and got great deals on a Maytag A612...

How much wear is left on these pads? Okay, I figured out how I should be able to reconnect the stabilizer springs without too much trouble so now I have a clear view of the pads. There appears to be at least a few mm of pad left (see photo). Now I'm wondering if I should leave well enough alone...

I am trying to inspect and possibly replace the damper pads on my A612 Maytag dryer. I bought this washer a while go to put into service at my cabin and so far I have replaced the belts and the inlet water valve on it. I want to make sure the washer is good to go for a long time before I put it...

Anybody??

Thanks for your advice Combo52. I bought an A612, quite clean and in really nice shape and have some questions for you. You say to lubricate the rollers and damper pads. What about just replacing them outright as a matter of course. Is that overkill? If I just do lubricate them, what should I...
