Even the best-built appliances are going to require a little care, TLC, and replacement parts every now and then. And, yes, even that Thor range you have sitting in your kitchen right now may be in need. All too often, when something seems a bit off with our kitchen appliances, we tend to panic and assume that we are going to have to make a huge investment, don’t we? Thankfully, there is some good news. Thor Kitchen has made it easy for you to purchase the kitchen appliance parts that your gas range needs. These parts are important to ensure that it is running smoothly and safely while also looking fresh and rejuvenated, too. So, what are these kitchen appliance parts our range may need? Here you will find the most common: Cooking Grate The stove is, perhaps, the most popular part of a Thor range. Whether it is boiling water, popping popcorn, or creating a feast for your family – these cooking grates put in the work, don’t they? Constantly being faced with heat, the weight and movement of pans, messy spills, and more. And, although Thor Kitchen utilizes cast iron to provide you with some of the strongest and most durable cooking grates imaginable, sometimes you just want a new, clean slate. We get it. And we have the part for your Thor range, no matter what model you have chosen. Want to change up the look of your Thor range? No problem. You will find different designs to choose from – in the same cooking grate. Griddle Like the cooking grates, Thor ranges designed with a griddle are also created using cast iron for durability. They are meant to withstand heavy, frequent use. But, like anything, wear and tear can happen. Sometimes a griddle gets scratched and other times it just doesn’t look as sharp as it once did. Does your Thor range have a griddle? Of course, not all models have this added feature. If your range is designed with a griddle, then you should have comfort in knowing that if your griddle needs some refreshing, you can replace it. It’s that easy. LP Conversion Kit: One of the best things about Thor ranges is that they allow you to use them in a way that fits your cooking styles, your environment, and more. For instance, some areas offer propane at a more reasonable cost and with ease. In other areas, you will find that natural gas is more prominent. In addition, when building a home, it is typically designed to handle a specific type of gas. Thor Kitchen often creates their ranges to be used with natural gas. Does that mean you can’t take advantage of this great appliance? Not at all. To make sure everyone has an opportunity to utilize their range, an LP conversion kit is available. What does it do? Well, if your home uses propane – or you prefer propane – then you can easily use the LP conversion kit to switch from natural gas to propane. It’s a simple solution to bring you satisfaction with a wonderful range. Telescopic Rack How often do you use your oven? If you cook a lot, then there is a good chance you have tried to put more than one thing in your oven at the same time, right? It isn’t hard to maneuver around each item, but it surely is not the most convenient thing. Ovens are hot – and burns hurt! With a telescopic rack, as offered for Thor ranges, your racks can easily slide out. You don’t have to worry about the rack tipping over – even when it is holding something heavy, like your Thanksgiving turkey! This is an easy purchase and great addition that can make the use of your range even more enjoyable. Burner Kit: Your burners are important. When your range has a certain number of burners, you come to rely on each one of them to cook your food. Unfortunately, burners don’t last forever, no matter how well they are designed. A simple burner kit will allow you to replace your burner with a brand new one. You have a beautiful range to create some magnificent and delicious meals. Why would you keep moving forward with a missing burner when you can install a new one? Electrode When you have a gas range – regardless of the type of gas – you need to create a spark to make it work. This is where an electrode comes in. This part of the range is one that continuously provides a spark (a couple per second) so that the flame can ignite. Without a working electrode, you won’t be able to automatically light your stove or oven. Ordering a simple replacement, however, will get your range working in tip-top shape again. Ignitor: Speaking of flames, the ignitor is also responsible for getting you a flame, working with the electrode. Without it, you can’t get your cooking going. If you find yourself with a pot full of goodness and no flame to heat it, rest easy. Thor’s ranges offer you the ability to purchase this ignitor and add it to your range. You will be cooking up a feast in no time! Safety Valve Just as its name suggests, the safety valve is a very important part of a gas range. And, it needs to be replaced immediately should issues arise. What is its purpose? Well, let's just say that this valve helps to ensure that no gas is dispersed unless the ignitor has received the voltage needed to ignite it. Thermostat: Occasionally, an oven thermostat may go awry. When it does, the temperature isn’t maintained properly, and cooking your food correctly is nearly impossible. No need to fret though. For those with a range from Thor Kitchen, replacing the thermostat is a breeze. The kitchen appliance parts for Thor ranges are what keeps you cooking – literally. Without certain imperative parts, such as an ignitor, a burner kit, or even an electrode (among many others), you won’t be able to find satisfaction with your appliance. And, that’s not what we want. Thor Kitchen provides durable, beautiful, pro-style ranges that are built to last. However, in the event that something happens, you can relax knowing that replacing the part is just a call away.
