If you can still read the metal tag, this should have make model and serial number. Sometimes it has the date

SOURCE: Inglis electric freestanding range model #IRE3230- Oven no longer working

If the oven and the electric panel no longer work, this is an electronic problem. The burners and the oven light will not be effected, nor will the fuses. The electronics card will need to be replaced by an appliance technician.

SOURCE: Stove top and oven will not heat

first check your voltage, and the pigtail connections at the stove, then check your elements inside the oven something has shorted

Have an approx 40 year old gas range that has a burner ignition controller that has failed. believe it to be a Sears model because those were the only appliances owner bought. Have found KTM followed

If you will look the range over and are able to find the model number (it should be something along the lines of : 133.4545786 ), then type that into the box for model number on the website of "SearsPartsDirect" and you should find schematics that will give you parts, part numbers, and prices.
God bless your efforts.

Answer to Terry Hair - cat. 280 RA77, ser. 38 80A, GE Hotpoint electric range/stove/oven

You weren't kidding when you said Vintage! I was thinking maybe 1950's. What you have is purely antique! I doubt you will easily find anything for something that old. There are a few websites online that cater to antique and vintage appliances. Some have forums where you can request info. You might fare better there.

We have a 9 year old model and the other morning while heating something we heard a pop then no power. changed outlets still no power. is there a reset button?

The reset button is your fuse or circuit breakers in your home electrical supply panel. That pop needs to be found and looked at before you continue cooking. It could be a minor or major problem waiting for a victim.

Smoking

Couple things I would look for first the condition of the blade do you see any buildup around the teeth like something has burnt on it. Also look into the area around the blade under the table (unplug saw first) to make sure that something hasn't dropped into it rubbing blade causing smoke. Also turn the blade by hand to make sure turning freely. The smoke could possibly be coming from a bearing. If it less than a year old Bosch has a pretty good warranty and you might look into that also. Let me know and I will dig deeper into it.

Vintage electric hotpoint range

I have one of these same model stoves in near perfect condition. I found a website that has a lot of information on these and other vintage appliances as well. The sell parts and even buy appliances too. They will give you an appraisal, but that costs $50. Here is the URL address- http://www.antiqueappliances.com/index.htm

No power

I have the same model. After a recent power outage, the display completely lit then went blank. Turnign on one of the elemetns would pwoer up the display (clock). turning off the element would turn OFF the display. I pulled out the stove and reseated the power plug. I also reset the 50a breaker in the basement for 5 mins. When I put everything back in place, it worked. I'm not sure if this is coincidence or not. I'm guessing it's short term and I'll see the problem again, but for now... I had sticker shock when I looked at the price of new repalcements. I don't expect problems with a 4 year old appliance.

Iced up coils and will not dehumidify

I did a little digging around on the internet and found out that if the basement (or where ever you have your unit) is in an area where the room temp might dip below 65 degrees the coils may start to become "too efficient" in pulling the moisture/humidity out of the air and it begins to freeze on the coils before it can drip off into the reservoir. The site said to turn off the unit and let it thaw out, then restart it and see if everything works ok after that. If the temperature gets too low you might need to warm up the air in the room/basement before it will operate correctly again/not continue to freeze up. Hope this helps. Mine just did the same thing but we've had some pretty cold weather recently and the basement is fairly cold as well.

Oven and smooth top no functioning

Sounds like a breaker issue to me. The breaker for this one should be located outside (if you're in a home) near the electric meter. Open the breaker box and look for a 40 or 50 amp breaker set (your oven uses 2 separate breakers, they are side by side in the box). Even if they don't look "tripped", go ahead and trip them manually and reset them. This should get you cookin' again. *Note--> Breakers can get "weak" and trip for no reason. If this continues to happen, you should have an electrician replace your oven breakers.
