    Default Slow to Preheat

    I have a Kenmore gas range - model #75575 - that's about 5 or 6 years old. It takes soooooo looooong to pre heat. Why might that be?

    Hi,

    I can't locate anything with that model#, please check it again. We need all the numbers, including the first 3 before the dot. Thanks

    How long does it take to preheat when set to 350?

    Normal time is about 10-20 minutes.

    Default complete model #

    The entire # is 362.75575691. It just took 15 minutes to preheat to 350. It seems like it takes twice that long to get to 450...is that normal?

    This is a fairly new development. I'd say in the last 6 weeks or so. We just moved the range from one side of the kitchen to the other as part of a remodel. It's been since then.

    Hi Jake,

    It took about 30 seconds for the bar to start glowing and another 60 seconds before I heard the ignition.

    Thanks for the quick reply, Jake. I guess the answer is "patience."
