Need advice for a 60s/70s Trav'ler range (stove)
Hello there.
I have a 1967 Frolic Travel Trailer which I love. It has a 3 burner Trav'ler brand range in it that was working okay until a few months ago when the oven part stopped regulating the temperature and the little oven thermometer maxed out at over 500 degrees! Everything I have read suggests that I just need a "new" (or working) thermostat. The problem is that I can not get any appliance repair place to sell me this art because of the age of the oven and "liability". So for the last few months, we've just been using the stove part.
Fast forward to a month ago when I bought a 1972 Prowler with the intention of gutting it to turn it into a mobile office. It has a 4 burner Trav'ler range of the same size as the 3 burner one in my Frolic! (I like the 3 burner one because it gives you space to put the kettle/pot) and in a 17' trailer, we can use all the space we can get.
I am looking for some advice or pictures or a manual or something to help me figure out how to salvage the thermostat out of the 4 burner to repair the 3 burner range. I honestly don't even know what a thermostat in an oven looks like!
Thank you for your help in advance.
