Brochure from other thread Better Ovens had the vent as part of the factory build to make it the better unit. A top off a lessor GE J782 or sister might be located if you want to remove your vent/fan. The basic chassis is about the same. The brochure really shows the vent/fan as a feature on...

It is not just making your cabinets less tall; one has a vent to plumb through the attic and to the outside through the roof. Here the 4x10 goes to the attic; then it is a round 6" duct that touches the through roof vent. To move out the oven; here we purposely made the vent piping in sections...

Typically a vistor who uses the stove *tends* to open the top damper and thus the whatever they are cooking or burning sets off the beep beep beep smoke alarm. Removing the vent would not really be a safety issue; more of downgrading the performance. Now one has no vent at all; like a cheaper...

Here my folks really wanted to buy the RHV886 in a brighter color like harvest gold; but there were none to be found. Thus we got the brownish model and and later we forgot about the color issue!. Now since it has been in the same place since early 1972 the color is not really a thing I notice.

The secret repair guide with schematics was with ours hidden in a slot behind the front panel with all the knobs. Our was their until the mid 1980's; when a jerk repair guy walked off with it. I visted my folks old house and found out that it was missing, the last repair guy walked off with it...

Any experts know the GE part number for the 120 volt outlets I am looking for the right/corner 120 volt socket; the one NOT marked timed. The only Stove I have and use daily looks very similar to your "new" stove. But the unit here is a late 1971 Hotpoint RHV886 Electronic oven range. The...

Powdered "ALL" was the low sudsing detergent that was recommended by Westinghouse for my folks brand new 1947 Westinghouse front load washer. The bulk of Folks in the USA only heard of this thing of low sudsing 1/2 century later; when the USA rediscovered the front load washer. One can wash...
