A fire at Kasa AMKrayola!

I'd stay away from the Samsung...

I wanted exactly the same

I ended up with a brand new in box Kenmore (Elux-made) that sears outlet was selling... What an AMAZING stove.

I didn't like it very much, but the price was extremely attractive and sears outlet had over 50 units stacked there. They were not returned or lightly damaged.. they were brand new and perfect in a sealed box...

500 dollars and 2 years later, i love, love, love my stove, the oven is perfect and the self cleaning cycle was used more than 20 times and works beautifully.

Best Gas ranges

GE is By far the best built, WP-MT the most energy efficient and reliable, WP-MT uses smart ignition for the oven and broiler so you don't have a hot surface igniter consuming 400 watts whenever the burner is on that burns out and has to be replaced at a cost of $150-200 every 3-8 years depending on how much you use your oven.

 

In reality there is not as much difference in ranges as there is in laundry appliances and DWs so you can probably buy what you like.

 

I would differently stay away from fancy Electrolux ranges [ too many control problems ] and Samsung& LG [ they are pretty but really cheaply built when you are taking them apart to fix the ovens etc. ]

Hi Dave, there is likely no real damage to your range from the fire, I would remove the oven floor and clean any ash and unburned residue and then test the oven and run it through a clean cycle.

 

Grease and food soil that is not burned on should always be wiped up before running a clean cycle.

 

Dave it sounds like you had grease etc that spilled into the sub-pan under the oven floor, if you have a major spill in any gas oven self-cleaning or not it needs to be dissembled and cleaned before using it again.

reply 21 right on

...no real damage except possibly the badge got singed a little...oven cleaner should clean the smoke stains right up.

Well, the Samsung has numbered controls, to facilitate Timed Bake and Delay Start which is why I seem to be attracted to it...

I don’t know why they were taken away, that is a feature I believe I will need in the times to come, and actually utilize...
