Looking to buy highly reliable double wall oven

Hello! I am 45 years old and enjoying planning our first kitchen renovation. I love to cook and always wanted a double wall oven. I am looking at two models:
Thermador SEC302BP which is discontinued and available for $2899 or the
Dacor E0230SCH which is available for $4000.

I see this as a major purchase and I want this item to be highly durable over the long term. I read a few comments on your site about the Dacor model that are making me doubt that it is a good solution for us. I would bery much value your expert advice. What would you recommend? Would you go with a different brand / model?

Many thanks for your advice.

Well in my professional opinion if I only had those two to chose from I would go with the Thermador unit Why ??? From a service point the parts are readly avib. and the replacement parts cost is less then the Dacor. from my recent repairs the Thermador is more of a heavy duty unit as far as the most options I think Daycor has it beat. I own Gaggenau units and love to cook as you it is just what I wanted. Just remember you get what you pay for and the best match is the unit that will give you the options that are most important to you Hope this helps.

I'm looking at a used Viking double wall oven in gas-Viking Vgd0271SS.. Does anyone know anything about it?

This is a high end wall oven. Common break downs are oven ignitors, all ovens fo that though. Life span for an igniter is 5 to 10 years. Viking is rare to have problems..

Is electrolux oven better than lg

What features and size are you looking for? Electrolux is most popular for its cooking product line and they are one of the most efficient and highest ranked manufacturer's in the kitchen. Are you looking for a specific design? Electrolux is more European where LG is trying to make their designs reflect high tech computer designs.

Double oven no model number Whirlpool 14 years old Door is locked after self clean and display is blank

Hello,

Your oven has resetable high limit thermostat that tripped off on the self clean cycle,im not sure if you have free standing,or a wall oven if freestanding the t-stat is on back panel if wall oven its behind control panel on upper oven and for lower oven its behind the grill between bottom of upper oven and top of lower oven. In either case it has a small red button that can be pushed in to reset it

Hope this helps and if it does please give me 4 thumbs up

GE P7 Wall oven had bad thermostat????

IF YOUR HEATING ELEMENT IS GETTING ORANGE HOT, AND CYCLING, I WOULD SUSPECT THE THERMOSTAT TO BE THE SOURCE OF THE PROBLEM. YOU MAY FIND IT HARD TO FIND ONE THOUGH DUE TO ITS AGE.

GE P7 double wall ovens, electic, do they still make heating elements for this model

elements are not made by the manufacturer and generic in design
to that end you go to electrical wholesalers and taking you old elements along , see if there is a like one that fits
depending on where you are there are retailers that sell elements for just about everything and e-bay has a range of elements
you have to make sure of several things
1-- the end fittings are the same
2-- the wattage is the same and the shape is the same and --the dimensions are the same
all of this you can get by reading the description on the sellers page
