Hello, everybody! I’m having a little problem with my 1951 O’Keefe & Merritt stove that I got this summer. I’ve noticed an acrid smell from the Grillevator when it’s on. This is not a gas smell or a burned food smell. It’s sharp. In addition, sometimes the Grillevator turns off, and I have to turn it off and press the safety button to get it to come back on. The pilot seems to be alright, though it has two flames. I haven’t had to relight that. I cleaned the whole Grillevator oven again, and I took extra time to scrub the burner with a brush. The burner appears to light just fine when it comes on, with no clogged outlets. The flanges beside it glow quite a bit on the burner side when the Grillevator is on, though. Is that normal?
I appreciate any suggestions and advice. I’ve stopped using the Grillevator, since it started having issues and I’m concerned about something being very wrong. I miss my Grillevator.
The right hand oven operates as expected, with no odd smells.
