I did get one reply on my Flair but it turns out they have one that is still working. It would be a shame to dismantle one of these stoves which is still in good conditional and working ecept for maybe one part. There ought to be somebody out there who has one that is falling apart who can offer used parts for sale. Sometimes selling salvaged parts can gross more than selling the whloe item as is. I sure thought about buying the one offered in the reply but they live in Maryland and I live in Mississippi. Thats quite a jump and as you can see a Flair aint no small piece of merchandise. I’m told by an elderly appliance repairman who used to work on these type stove that I need a thermostat control for the large oven side. He said thats usually what happens when the oven elements burn in two as mine did. He said that usually shorts out the thermostat too. The trick is that a replacement thermostat has to be from the exact same model. Mine is a Frigidaire Custom Deluxe Flair. It looks the same as the one pictured except for the color and the location of the knobs and clock, and it sits on a wooden cabinet. I would send pictures on this site if I knew how. It’s lovly and agood cooking stove and I would like to get it fixed. “So” anybody got a good thremostat for a Custom Deluxe Flaire

We have a Frigidare Flair Custom Deluxe. We almost threw it away when we bought the house but desided to use it while we looked for a new stove to replace it. After cleaning it up and using it we fell in love with it. Now after three years of wonderful cooking and conversation concerning our stove the top element in the large oven burned out. Luckily we did find a good used elememt but it must have shorted out the current regulator. Now the large oven only gets slightly warm. We would love to find someone who can fix it. I would like to keep it from now on but i’m afraid that if we can not get it fixed we will have to part with it. Every thing else works except the electrical pulg in outlet at the front of the stove for using other eletrical appliances. We will sell it if we must, but we would like to get it fixed. I can be reached at (662) 392-0204 or emailed at glema1@cgdsl.net. Thanking you in advance for any help you can give.
