Understood..... It's imperative that these older appliances get a re wire. I can't stress it enough to all the oven and stove people I've given advice to over the years. Modernize on the inside but keep it vintage on the outside. We'll be waiting patiently for the next project. Keep up the good...

Great job David....... Will there be a follow up to this ? I would love to see the thermostat repair.

A question.... David, what's that thing in picture 3 ?

Thermostat and selector switch part numbers..... The thermostat replacement I used is the Robert Shaw 5455 series. The selector switch replacement is a GE WB22X5131. I profiled the selector switch replacement in a previous thread. I'm including a list of GE replacement parts numbers for...

Glad to help out The door cable is probably worn on this unit. Replacement thermostats are easy to be had for this unit. I recommend the Robert Shaw thermostat.

This repair will be a little involved..... The unit will have to be removed from the wall. If a hinge replacement is in order, a parts oven will be needed. It's hard just to find the hinges alone on EBay, etc. The front door skin will have to come off as will the "can" or the internal...

Thank you !!! Thanks Combo. That GE part number will help me out a lot.

Calling Combo..... Where would I look to find the correct Robert Shaw replacement part number ?

As per the original switches..... Two of them that control the 6 inch burners are skipping a setting or two. The other two switches are working fine. I just need newer with just three temp settings. I'll look into the Robert Shaws, a great product. I put two new Robert Shaw thermostats in the...

Combo.... I was able to update the selector switches on my '57 Customline wall oven to something newer that GE offered. I thought I could do the same for the cooktop. Not looking for something old and original, a new infinite selector switch would be more reliable being that this cooktop is a...

The original selector switches...... with a 125-255 underneath the 603854

Model # RN102 1956 Hotpoint cooktop with original part # 603854 selector switches. Looking for an updated part number that GE offers. Thank you.

Definitely.... A thermostat issue

Wow !!!! This is amazing !!!!! Can't wait to see video of this beauty.

Oven surgery.... New selector switch transplant. I trust this information will be helpful to all the Hotpoint wall oven fans. Questions?

The new switch.... Coded for proper wiring. Existing oven wiring gets spliced into the new switch wiring with ceramic wire nuts.

The old switch.... I color coded it for proper wiring purposes. When I took it apart it seems one of the terminals failed. It was the L2 terminal.

I had an opportunity to update the '57 Customline wall oven. The top side selector switch was failing and by chance I came across the updated replacement part number. While I have the oven apart I'm going to do the bottom side also.

Faulty common wire from the switch to the thermostat was the culprit. Replaced it with modern 12 gauge range wire and we're back in service. Thanks for the help combo !!!!
