Ray's advice is sound, and I'll add: that 14 year old inverter is likely to last forever, and that's not a reason to keep using it. It's almost certainly the crude waveform that's causing the issues.<br>
If range replacement remains the only option, talk with Peerless-Premier (<a href="http://www.premierrange.com">www.premierrange.com</a>). As of my last contact with them a few years ago, they still make unadvertised models with circuit boards that were designed
for original Trace mod-square inverters and have no glow bars for the oven. Our family home has a decent Pro series (stainless front with sealed burners) with electric igniters and no glow bar.

This is a circa 2002 inverter. I may just tell them to go to a pilot light stove model (hate to waste gas, ya know).<br>

Sounds like ovens have gotten more complicated over the years. As soon as I read "control board" and modified sine wave, I cringe. The good old DR inverters worked great, I even ran my own shop on one for several years back in the 90s. I for the most part
quit selling them though, as even though most equipment worked on the mod sine, we started noticing premature failures. I would attribute this to the extra heat generated by all the extra harmonic distortion. Sorry I can't recommend an oven; they probably
would be better going to something older form Craig's list with no AC connection at all.<o:p></o:p></p>

I have a client that has blown out 2 control boards on their oven in the last few months. The appliance is a Whirlpool Model WFG515S0EW0 powered by a Xantrex DR1512. Since this is an off-grid home, i recommended that they get an LP stove with no oven glow
bar and this was the unit that the appliance company supplied.<o:p></o:p></p>
