Hi:

I don't see a power surge causing a problem, they are just a very basic heating element.

About 2 years ago I had a 12 year old Kenmore, no heat or anything in the oven. Since this was an older stove, we decided to replace it. After we looked at new ones, it was going to cost about 2500.00+ since it is in an island and a down draft model.

We called Sears, they sent a guy out, turned out to be the control panel went south (dead). At $400.00+, it was cheaper to replace the MOB/Control Board than a new stove.

The repair mans advice was, since this was a older range, quit using the
"clean setting" The high heat will destroy the board.

Just wanted to pass it along.
