    So if you mean you have electric line now and want to go to gas. It is all based on the utilities in the house and how far away they are. It is usually easy to do but requires a plumber to run a gas line as long as accessible or near the stove and an electrician to change the 220 line required for electric to a 110-volt line used for gas. So is it easy really depends on your home. If the gas is far away from where the stove is then it will require a big expense to move it there. It will also require permitting in many towns when converting over.

    Warm soapy water to clean dirt and grime of then a nice stainless steel cleaner to shine it up. I like to use aerosol-based “twinkle” or “stainless steel magic” products. I have found they work the best. Keep in mind there is a grain to the stainless. So when applying the cleaner, use a microfiber cloth and go with the grain. Try not to use harsh chemicals as many times that can hurt the finish. Some brands have a fingerprint-free coating, so be careful as they won’t require a stainless cleaner. It could even damage the unit by delaminating the outside coating.

    In my opinion, and for technical reasons, yes. The reason the agitator was removed was mainly to give more space to the machines. As each brand would fight over who has the largest capacity. An agitation plate was put at the bottom. A true agitator machine will help move and turn the clothes over better ” agitate ” them, so they help force the detergent and water through. A front-loader achieves this by tumbling the clothes naturally. But in a top-loader, it needs that agitation movement. Some will argue it’s too tough on the clothes, but I disagree. Lg now makes a 4.8 with an agitator. Whirlpool has a removable agitator as a new option for the best of both worlds.

    It is really based on the model and the BTU output. There are two things to check one is if the stove was converted if the proper orifices were used. Two, if it is correct. Behind the knob, most stoves have an adjustment. With the help of a small screwdriver, you can adjust the low point setting. The issue today is some stoves do not have a high BTU output overall. So you need to see if it’s all the burners or just one. If all then prob stove itself if just one then look for the low flame adjustment setting.

    The best thing to do is sand it down if a painted side. Spray a rust preventative in those spots, then get some appliance paint. If you want a quick repair to cover them, you can buy appliance touch-up paint. It comes in small bottles, but the rust will return. So, I think you spend a little extra time here sand it down preventative then paint it. Once the rust starts, it will grow. So best to do it now.

    I guess you have a double wall oven already? If you can live with the existing set up why do you need another double oven? Would much rather you go to a higher quality single stove that has a better power burner. That LG is a decent unit, but even on that one, the burners are just ok. Would love to see a unit like a BlueStar in there if the budget allows it. If not, go to the LG slide-in style better quality and better workspace you seek. You may want to look at a dual fuel if you can run electricity to it as it does give much more even heat for baking.

    There are so many options out there and many smart toasters today, believe it or not. But I will tell you this unit from Breville is a top pick and widely regarded as one of the best!
