This Sears Country Kitchen series stove, circa 1970, would be great for anyone with a retro colonial kitchen. When I originally featured this story in 2008, this stove was for sale on ebay. The listing is long since gone. My friend Ron at Berkshire County Used Furniture in Pittsfield, Mass., also had one — it had a top piece, too — very cool. I also believe it is long since gone. Over time since I’ve first featured this story, the story has received lots of hits … if you have one to sell, please post it on our buy/sell Forum here. Alsoo see my mega story: 26 places to buy a vintage stove.
I like it!
I love my stove. But am having trouble finding a new burner switch. If anyone knows where I can get one please contact me at ValentineAngel_214@yahoo.com.
Thank you,
Shirl
Holly cow. Thats the same Country Kitchen we have. Does it all work an is it still available? And how much
Kevin in Saint Louis MO
Kevin – are you really interested? If so I will check with Ron…Pam
yes i am and thank you for the help.
ok – I’ll track Ron down tomorrow and see if he still has this. BTW, I think he has some kind of “upper” for this, too! Where are you located, Kevin? Shipping these things is the worst cost of all!
Kevin, oh drats. I forgot to call Ron! I have put a sticky on my computer screen!
Though it’s not Samantha’s steven’s stove, I love it too.
Kevin, I can’t find your posting. Sad, I’m in Mass and would love to have a gas version. THIS would go with my prewar kitchen better.
I have one of those sears country kitchen stoves that I am going to sell – I have never used it. Its awesome condition – I got it from an estate sale.
Hi, I have the country stove in electric and the oven springs have gone bad and I did have them replaced (not by sears as they don’t carry the parts but for only a few years). My local repair man made hinges to fit… thy were very strong and made it hard to open the oven door…Last night the spring finally went again. Is your stove electric and if so do you still have it and how much do you want for it. I am in New York (northwest of NYC)

TAMI
Tami, this is an old story that showed a stove on ebay — long gone.
Laurie,
Is your stove electric? If so, how much are you asking and where are you located? I am seriously interested.
Laurie,
I might also be interested in the country kitchen stove. Do you still have it?
Lisa, it was never mine…It belongs or belonged to a friend. I don’t know if he still has it. Google or Infospace for the phone number for Berkshire County Used Furniture in Pittsfield, Mass. Ask for Ron and tell him I sent you. Good luck.
I need to replace my oven door hinge which is very close to the Sears Country Kitchen Stove displayed here. Does anyone have any ideas on where I may find this item?
We had a country kitchen growing up, but it had the upper part, does anyone have pictures of that?
Hi Sandy, oh my, I have a photo of Ron’s *somewhere* but heaven knows where. If I see it, or another example, I’ll add it here. To be sure: Sweet lookin’ stove.
I have this stove with the upper part and I am in need of several parts does anyone know where i could order some?
I am in RI and have been trying to find someone to repair my Mothers Country Kitchen Stove, it is a gas version I saw your postings and thought maybe someone could help
Kara, see the post “where to turn to get your vintage appliances fixed” for a growing list of fixers that readers have had some success with… Please note, I do not endorse any of them. These are ideas to get you started in your hunt, readers should do their own research and verification that they are working with a licensed, experience pro.
I also have this stove, and am in need of parts! any suggestions?
If you get the model# and serial numbers from under the cooktop (take out all burners and lift the black cook top) Sears still has most all of the parts for this stove. I have had work done on mine, and at the time the only thing they could not replace was the little probe inside the oven that read the temp. for the thermostat. I just hung an oven thermometer from the wire rack and it is necessary to set the temp about 25 degrees higher than I normally would, but it works great!! My stove is now 40 years old. Good Luck!!
I also have that stove. We just recently put it in storage it still works great.It was in the house when we bought it and the previous owners daughter in law said that they bought new.It came with a cast iron accessory package that included a tea pot,cast spoon set, cast table top napkin holder,and a few other pieces.I have all those pieces and the manual but have never been able to find any other info.
I also have one of these with an upper unit (warming oven, hood fan and associated knobs) but the electric recently went on the fritz. Any ideas on how to go forward? Repair? Scrap it?
Hi Carole, we have an FAQ on how to find people who can repair these old stoves – good luck.
We just rescued a sears country gas stove that we are told the oven doesn’t work. I am looking for a place that can give me information on the working on this stove and parts as needed. Please help
Thank you
Hi, Ron
We have this same stove but with the top piece that is a bread oven.
I was wondering if you could help me find hinges for the oven door, I’m having so much trouble finding someone who makes them.
thank you
Brittney
Brittney, Ron will never see this comment… My best idea for you: Call Sears.
We happen to own a stove exactly like this only ours has the top portion with the warming oven, fan, light etc. We purchased it used in 1975, it was 5 years old. We have used it for 35 years and LOVE it. It goes perfectly in our log cabin home.
Problem….I accidentally turned on the oven instead of a burner and caught fire a plastic box which was in the oven. Needless to say, the oven was ruined. We are now hoping to replace the oven wiring but don’t have the manual. If that is not doable we would need to replace the whole stove. Depending on what price range this starts out at, this would be a possibility.
Whethe we or anyone else gets this stove, it is a GEM. We have raised our family and made thousands of meals on this stove and truly love it! PS Any idea where to find a copy of the manual??
Thanks!
I posted the comment above, but have an update. We have found an electrician who can replace all the drip pans and elements, new switches, but cannot find the THERMOSTAT for the oven. We cannot find a replacement thermostat for this stove. Model and Serial Number is:
143-6606800
968
Does anyone know where we could find this part? Thank you in advance for your help.
PS Our model is not just the range, it also has the top warming oven, etc.
Update…..Posted previous question. No one ever responded. After 2 years of searching for a replacement thermostat, we finally gave up and bought a new stove. I cry everytime I look at our beautfiul old stove, which is now ‘retired ‘ and living out her days as a place to house our pots and pans, and holds our decorative enamelware. on top of the range. The new stove is functional but doesn’t hold a candle to our old stove in terms of beauty and character. I am grateful for the 35 years of service she gave and have assured her that she will always grace our home.
I have the electric version of this stove. It belonged to my grandmother. I inherited it & thought it would be part of my remodel…it hasn’t cooked a meal since I unplugged it an brought it to my house. I’m thinking of selling it…anyone interested? I’m I’n Louisiana.
can anyone tell me the value of the sears country kitchen stove circa 1970
I have this exact stove. I bought it out of someones old barn for $200 and had it completely rewired for $90. I love it so much but am having some trouble getting it to look new again. All the chrome looking parts are rusty and I can’t get them to look any better. Any suggestions?
Try this story, evonne: http://retrorenovation.com/2008/08/07/how-do-i-re-chrome-or-replate-my-metal-bath-hardware/
i also have the electric country cookstove that i paid $70.00 for 6 months ago. i do not have the top part of it if anyone has the bread warmer that they would want to get rid of sent me a message. please.
peggy, please call ron or becky at berkshire county used furniture in pittsfield, mass. they may have one. good luck
If any one has one of these stoves and the oven does not work , then please check the clock on it before taking it to a repair shop. My oven was working then just stopped , I never realized that the clock ( which mine doesn’t work ) could keep the oven from working if the knobs were turned . The knobs for the clock has to be set in a specific way to allow the oven to work.even if the clock and timers do not work !!!! I fiqured this out the hard way ! Thanks and good luck with these stoves
I found it interesting reading about the ‘Country kitchen’ ranges.
We bought the electric version out of a used appliance add in the paper in the mid 80′s to use in our ‘new’ Victorian house that we built at that time. It came without the additional upper warming unit and was rewired when we bought it and is still working great! Although the oven door hinges are a little weak
Just bought a Country Kitchen electric stove. It needs hinges for the oven door, a seal for the oven door & burners. Can anyone tell me where to find these?
One other interesting thing about the Sears Country Kitchen electric stove we bought is that it came with the original ‘owner’s guide’ instruction book….very cool, lots of pictures
I am closing this thread because it seems to only get “I want to sell” comments. Folks, if you have one to sell — all sales go on to our buy/sell forum, which is free, here: http://retrorenovation.com/forums
