Older Kenmore oven with small side oven and a griddle in the middle. 100% functional, everything works. We used this for about a year in the house we bought, works great. We have upgraded to a newer convection oven so we don't need this anymore. This would complement a retro kitchen. Has a couple small chips in the porcelain and could use a cleaning from sitting in my garage. Comes with original manual. Does not come with a cord.
No calls after 9PM please. CLICK HERE TO GO TO ken's LINK on Elmira Craigslist |

Wonder if that's a self-cleaning model?
Kenmores of this vintage did not have a latch lever like most models did; they had a servo to operate the latching mechanism. So, there's not the visual you get with, say, a GE self-cleaner. The presence of two ovens and the griddle makes it probably upper-MOL, though I can see from the pictures that the companion oven is continuous-clean. |

It was made by Kelvinator. My neighbor Ruth had one except hers was black with brushed chrome top. She was glad to see it go when she got a new GE a couple years ago. |

This is the same frame Electrolux (formerly WCI, who inherited the frame when they bought out Kelvy) uses today for the Frigidaire 40-incher. They've also provided ranges built on it to GE and Whirlpool over the years.
I think it goes back to 1962 at least. If anyone knows more about when it was first used by Kelvy, I'd be very interested to know. |
