Spontaniously starting of hotpoint oven.

I have a hotpoint oven that is about 14 years (1998)old and it suddenly started turning on spontaniously, even though the knob is set to the off position. It has electronic ignition and uses propane as a fuel. I am currently between jobs, so money is an issue and I woul prefer to fix it myself. The range burners are working fine as are their ignitors. I have turned off the breaker that operates it and am using matches to run the burners. It is not leaking gas or anything but if it has power it it will light and start heating on its own.

SOURCE: Hotpoint Gas oven doesn't light

Sounds like the oven ignitor is weak.  If everything else is working it must be a bad ignitor.  These are usually easy to replace and can expect to pay $70-$100 for the part.  Check to see if it glows when in bake mode first.  If it does then replace the ignitor.  You can look at the ignitor,  when not on, if it is white-ish then it needs replace or if it doesn't have a full glow, can compare to broil ignitor, then it needs replaced.  Let me know if you have further questions.

SOURCE: Gas Range has inconsistent gas flow

From what you've described and what I understand; the only part that requlates the gas flow "low or intermitten gas flow/pressure" is the "gas pressure regulator" located where the incoming gas flex-line connects directly.

The pressure regulator is about 3" x 3" metal square blockish' type device and can be replaced fairly easy. However, if and when replacing the pressure regulator, ensure you are using the proper gas - yellow teflyon tape of pipe dope paste to thread in the new part.

What is the model number of the range? (free standing - gas pilot only)

(The above suggestion is assuming you have the proper gas supply pressure to your home/range)

I would like to know how old is this machine?

Hotpoint use the first 2 digits of the serial number to deote the year and month, running from "01" to "96" and repeating the first 2 digits every 8 years, so a machine starting "12" was made in either: December 2014, December 2006, December 1998 or December 1990

Hotpoint Microwave Model RVM1435BD 001- microwave comes on when I open the door.

Many microwaves have similar issues. Usually, (not always) only the light is on and the fan is running, not the section that produces the microwaves. This problem can be caused by the door switches that are out of alignment or a defective control board.

14 years old. Hit the start button this AM and it

Yep, get a new one. Your oven's magnetron tube, the microwave source, has gone bad. They often go with a bang. While the tube could be replaced, the repair will likely cost more than a new oven. At 14, it's done you well but it's time to move on.

Hotpoint uy46 style line stainless steel, 2 year old, main oven fan takes 20 to 25 mins to start then runs too slow and some times stops, but the heat element is glowing red and very hot

The symptoms you describe are an indication that the fan motor is in imminent danger of breaking down altogether.
You need to replace it as soon as possibe, otherwise you will end up with the element burning itself out, thus doubling the cost of repair.
Please rate my solution.
Thankyou.
