50s/60s Caloric Ultramatic Oven- where to find parts

[beverlyanne83]

Hello, I'm brand new here and still figuring out how this forum works. Anyway, my house belonged to my great aunt and she bought it brand new in the 60s. I love the vintage kitchen, really haven't changed much of her original design. That being said the oven, aCaloric Ultramatic, needs repair. I believe my father said its the thermo sensor that needs replaced. Can anyone direct me where to find one? I can't seem to find a model or serial number on it. The picture is not my personal oven, but that is exactly what it looks like. Thanks for taking the time to read this.

I always have good experiences with (antiquegasstoves.com) where they restore only classic gas stoves. Get their mailing address or send thm photos via ipod or email of the works as well as a description of your problem and they can ( for a fee ) send you the parts and directions on how to fix it.

Norgeway may be right. Is the pilot light still working? And if it does, will the burner light at all when the knob is turned on. The thermocuple is the safety feature that will only allow the gas to the burner when it reaches the right temperature from the pilot. That is why there is a 30-60 second delay when turning the oven control on and getting actual heat in the oven.
