Roper Built Kenmore Electric Range The bottoms of the ovens should be lined with HD aluminum foil to catch heavy spill overs etc. You probably know NOT to use regular oven cleaner in this CC oven, If you want to clean it up a little just use a very wet cloth or spray hot water on it and blot up the water and soil.
You will probably have to find another range to get extra racks, but these Roper ovens do not bake that evenly if heavily loaded so I can't imagine using more than 2 racks at once anyway.
We may have extra knobs if you want to come in and match them up.
Good luck with your cool older oven, if this one does not work out some day look for a GE or Hotpoint next time if you want something that really cooks well.

The clock most likely needs a Telechron type S rotor. They are fairly common and easy to replace. As for paint, take something with the color off and take it to a good paint store. They should be able to match it. | ||

Lower Oven Door is a lift off design, BUT if the hinges are having issues it might not come off properly, Door hinges were another weak area for Roper built ranges.
When I suggested a GE or HP I of course meant a Hi-Low range with two ovens, GE built lots of them and parts are more readily available for them.

Baking in the lower oven is a real treat when you have the cooktop extended like if you were cooking a large meal. The design was too cute by half and no top heat during bake in either oven really limits capacity to say nothing of uniformity of cooking results. | ||
