Gas stove "back up" parts suggestions wanted.

Stephen000 · Oct 31, 2023

Hello. I have a Jotul Sebago natural gas stove which I'm very happy with. I've had it for a little over 12 years and it's working fine now, except for occasional problem with remote which i plan fixing by getting a new remote and receiver box setup. I want to get any parts that could wear out in the reasonable future in case the parts would become "no longer available".

I'm in the process of getting a new pilot assembly and possibly a gas control valve assembly. Are there any other parts that could wear out over a reasonable time period, say 10 years?

The reason I'm doing this is because I stayed at a lodge in Oregon that had a nice gas stove in the lobby. I asked the owner why he never had it burning and he said he was told the repair parts were no longer available. So, I'm just trying to avoid this myself.

Thanks for any suggestions,
Steve

12 years is a long time on a burner in that harsh environment. Might want to pull it & inspect it. Also, once the ceramic fiber logs a start to deteriorate, they will need to be replaced as well.

Thanks for asking this, we have the same 12 year old stove except in propane. I was thinking about this myself the other day, I already have a spare pilot assembly but never would have thought about the logs breaking down. A spare valve might be a smart investment also. I had the burner out a few weeks ago when cleaning the stove and it still looked real good.
We're in Calif. and a replacement stove is not going to be allowed in a couple of years so spare parts are going to be important.

Burner would be the first thing...

A quick update about ordering spare parts from Jotul.

I contacted our local Jotul dealer yesterday to inquire about the price and availability of a spare burner for our GF 400 DV Sebago. The part number from the manual is 155336 and the dealer initially quoted me a price of $225. so I went ahead and placed the order.

After contacting Jotul today, the dealer called back to let me know that that number is obsolete and no longer available. There is a replacement burner available though with a part number of 158228 but the price jumps to $650. I couldn't justify a spare at that price so I cancelled the order.
