Frigidaire Control Tower range

Automatic Washer - The world's coolest Washing Machines, Dryers and Dishwashers

It looks like a 1972 model. They changed the style around 1973 alomg with their logo. Twin 30s were among my favorite in built ins but the free standing models held a lot of cookware.Frigidaire never did make a slide in while they were "Built and backed by General Motors."I also liked their "Twin 30" models.
 
I have nearly the same Compact 30 control tower range in white porcelain enamel.

The control tower is slightly different, with the self-cleaning setting knobs arranged vertically to the right, instead of at the bottom.

The range is in the enclosed patio kitchen. It needs some work; the big front burner only has full high and medium settings working. Something is amiss with the low setting. I don't think it's the burner, as I've replaced that with no change. Probably in the controls. Still haven't figured out how to get at them behind the stainless panel.
 
It Is!

Fairly easy, the knobs come off and if I remember correctly there are several screws to remove and the whole panel comes lose, I had one of these but it was a pull and clean which I didnt like at all, it had a gap on each side of the oven door that let out a ton of heat, other than that, I think it is the best designed range ever, the knobs are where you can get to them and the staggered top is fantastic, not to mention the big flat radiantubes I love so much.If i could find one of these in good shape I would get it, im a little afraid of a self cleaning oven this old, if it quit you would have a heck of a time finding parts, My Aunt had a 65 coppertone one of these that was a great stove.When they built there new house they put in GE stuff, which she still fusses about "Those rattling eyes!" LOL
