Ive got a 22โ€, 3 burner Amana range/oven. I think its sold with other names stamped on it too. Looks like this..

Have continuously had problems with the pilot going out and the oven shutting down.
Temperature control is also not accurate, but i have a Fluke multimeter that measures temperature for that.

Wife bought all kinds of stuff for a big baking day today...
Yup, cant keep her lit again. Ive set pilot high, med, low. Sometimes soots up the pilot temp sensor.

We had to replace our stove last year simply because of the lack of a small part. Not thrilled at all about having to get a new stove.

The biggest problem was getting a replacement to fit. You would think that the manufacturers would get together & agree on a few overall dimension sizes, but no, that is not the case.

The best available was the same depth & width but not height, losing oven capacity. The DW is not happy with it.

If buying a replacement do not assume anything. From the start know your dimensions.

My coach came with a Panasonic combination microwave/convection oven. The convection part works amazingly well for baking. I can fit up to a 13 pound turkey in it. The down side is that it uses lots of power and I either need to run my generator or be plugged into shore power.
