Ok here is a dividend from this great place. My 59 original stove stopped working. Built a dolly ( its a wall stove ) and pulled all 400lbs of it out. It did not light up and clock stopped and service plug was out. The fixit guy quoted me $500 to fix it if it was a re-wire job. I got out my DMM and had it fixed in under 90 minutes. Some yahoo previous repair guy used wire nuts with goop in them and they disintegrated the wires and shorted out.

Question. Whats the best wire to use for replacement ( its near a very hot area ) and would shrink wrap over the wire nuts be ok? I redid the AC plug and wondering if wire-nuts are ok or am I better off with a union splice-solder and shrink wrap. Whats the protocol for fiixing these old stoves as regards wire and splices/nuts ?

Cheers - back to amps now that my lovey is baking bread again

They make a liquid brush on electrical tape that holds up very well under heat. Sorry I don't know the official name.

This place has the sleeve that was covering the wiring for the igniter that I recently replaced in my gas oven. Most home appliances are generally pretty easy to fix. Good job - I dislike the cost of appliance repair or replacement.

They make high temp wire and sleeves as vibratoking mentioned. They also make ceramic , high temp wire nuts.

I responded to another thread but I believe electricians commonly use wire nuts for joining wire.
There are ones made for high heat.
