I inherited a 602N but the side plates are bowed inward and cracked. I can feel the insulation behind them. The top plate seems good and the exterior is intact and has a nice black enamel. I'm running a stove that isn't airtight currently and it's costly.

Question 1:
If I order new plates I nervous because they seem a different shape than the large rectangular broken ones in place. Will the new plates fit and or hang from hooks? They seem like two different shapes.

Questions 2:
If I pay someone to do it for me about how much should I expect? My cost for side plates is about $105each.

Question 3:
If I sell it as is on craigslist for someone handy to fix up, how much is a fair price.

Thanks in advance.
