APPLIANCE BRAND?
My ATWOOD oven burner frfuses to light. Part I need positively no longer available. Atwood has stopped making original part, as it contained mercury, and offers no alternatives. I am now looking at...

Hi Dutch. I would love to replace the manifold as you did with your oven. No one wants to talk to me about which parts can make this happen. Probley due to liability. How did you determine which part would work? I know Atwood makes ovens now with no mercury in the unit so why can they not tell me what parts I can use to make it worik? Is that too much to ask?
I'm sure Atwood would rather sell new stoves than advise folks on how to repair old ones, so that may be part of the problem. I compared the parts I found on eBay with the parts in my stove mostly by comparing the drawings in the parts catalogs I found online for both models. It was a little bit of a gamble that it would fit ok, but it paid off nicely for us. The newer oven burner/control setup maintains a more even temperature than the old one did. This one modulates the main burner down to a low flame when it reaches the set temp, rather than turning off completely except for the pilot light like the old one did when it worked right.
