Vintage Stove Repair??
Hi All I have looked through posts from some years ago but found nothing recent. I would love to have someone take a look at my newly acquired vintage stove- but am having no luck finding a repair person to come look at it. Any leads?? Thanks!

Maybe start by asking a local stove-repair company to take a look. Don’t have to mention it’s vintage. In my area, on Broadway bordering Bushwick/Bed Stuy, there are several. We have used Luis Repair — but they only do stuff locally. These types of outfits can repair what’s there, etc. The ones that charge thousands will take the whole thing apart, add new insulation, re-enamel — or so they claim. I’ve never tried it.

Take Bob’s advice, make some calls. Just tell them you need a stove installed. Once they are there they will do the work. The O’Keefe Merritt is a pretty stove. Parts for those are available on line should you need them. Most likely the stove is fine.

Thanks for your responses – It’s an O’keefe and Merritt with pilot lights I would just like to find someone to take a look at it.

Is it a Chambers? I rebuilt mine, it’s not difficult and parts can be easily found. A word of caution, it should at least have a pilot light. If it doesn’t see if one can be installed.

How vintage is it? If it’s post WW II a regular appliance repair place might be willing; just don’t refer to it as an antique when you call.
