Hey folks! Running into a bit of a snag here. I’m in the middle of a kitchen remodel and my trusty old Westinghouse oven’s simmerstat has given up the ghost. It’s a MP101 model and seems to be a rare find these days. Anyone know a shop in New Zealand that stocks this part? Really hoping to get my oven back up for the big family dinner next month. Cheers!

Hey there! Kitchen remodels sure can throw up some surprises, can’t they? It sounds like you’re dealing with a real classic with that Westinghouse oven. I had a similar hiccup last year when our dishwasher decided to conk out right before a major holiday gathering. Not fun!
I stumbled across a website that might just have what you need: Westinghouse MP101 Simmerstat . They list a simmerstat that matches the MP101 model. Might be worth checking out.
Fingers crossed you get your oven sorted in time for that big family dinner. Nothing like the smell of a home-cooked meal to make a house feel like a home, especially with everyone gathered around. Cheers and good luck with the rest of your remodel!
