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

As an owner of a similar stove; I can see no safety risks about removing the top 5 9/16 " top vent/fan section except basic duffus issues. It one cuts ones fingers on some sheet metal; you forget to cap off the old hot fan input wire and gets some sparks. Or one gets a hernia by moving a heavy stove. The unit here is only held on by about 4 to 6 sheet metal screws; the fan motor only has a hot, neutral and ground wire. The real question is does the lessor model like a J782 have a token piece of insulation.

Here with mine the biggest risk is a hernia, mine weighs over 400 Lbs. To side it out we rig up a come along.

The part about the 50 dollar stove is interesting; ours cost 1/2 what our brand new 1971 VW beetle cost. Thus on a car site one could say a mint 1971 VW beetle that costs 100 bucks used is just a 100 buck car.

What is rather interesting about this thread is that I never heard about this type stove having poor venting unless folks vist and the vent damper was set wrong.

A stove like this has a high current draw; thus a risk is in one has the input wiring too small. This can be OK if one has the lower circuit breaker to protect the wire. One just has a tripped/ blown breaker on Thanksgiving when all the oven is on at once!

Your oven has storage for pots and pans where mine has 68Lbs worth of Microwave stuff.
