Hotpoint RGBS300DMWW Repair Guide
A GE-built basic 30-inch gas range aimed squarely at rental property and first kitchens. There is no self-clean, no convection and almost no electronics — which means it rarely breaks, and when it does the repair is nearly always the igniter or a burner.
Common problems & typical repair costs

Tech notes
On a range this inexpensive, the repair-or-replace line arrives fast: an igniter or a burner is always worth doing, but a safety valve plus an igniter together starts to approach the price of a new range. Give the customer both numbers and let them choose.
