<div>If it involves propane safety, why not contact a propane company like George Propane? I have had several conversations with the owner, Mike George, and have found him really helpful and accessible. Maybe he knows someone who can safely fix this thing or
make sure it's been fixed safely after some amateur tinker fixed it.<br>

<div dir="ltr">Dear Hidden-tech-ers,</div>
<div dir="ltr"><br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">I'm hoping someone in this community of smart, resourceful people can offer an idea about this: We have a beautiful, near-new gas range that we can't use, because it needs a part that is no longer available. Here's our story:</div>
<div dir="ltr"><br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">We bought our house with a Jenn-Air downdraft gas range in place, having no idea of what a liability that would be. It was already old when we moved in, and has continued to deteriorate.
The entire kitchen layout is based around using a downdraft range, rather than one with a conventional range hood - but downdrafts are rare and insanely expensive.
<br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr"><br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">Last Spring we found a good deal on a pristine, barely-used Jenn-Air downdraft gas range, bought from a private party. We brought it home, but it got damaged in transit - and unfortunately, the damage was to the metal tube that conveys
gas from the house supply to the burners - so even though the tube isn't actually
<i>broken, </i>it may not be safe to use. So began our search for a replacement part. Over a period of months, we gradually learned that no replacement exists; we have searched parts dealers all over the US and Canada; no one has it, no one can get it, the
manufacturer (Whirlpool) no longer makes it, and is not accepting special orders for it.</div>
<div dir="ltr"><br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">So, we're out of ideas. We have a $2000 hunk of metal on our porch that we can't use. The damage to the tube is relatively minor (only a couple of inches out of a couple of feet of tubing), and we would happily pay someone to repair it,
if there's a way to do that where it will still be safe to convey propane gas. We'd be incredibly grateful for any ideas! I can provide more detailed info and pictures if anyone wants to know.<br>
