Re: Spotting manufacturing defect in new stove. How to react?

The extension cord to power the lamp, ignitor and clock should be fine but
if you still want to do it with one cord, simply buy any grounded extension
cord of the same gague wire and cut it to length. You may need to crimp
some terminals to the end of the wire depending on how it is terminated
inside.

A crooked screw as viewed from inside an appliance does not constitute a
manufacturing defect unless it fails to perform its function. If the screw
is holding something in place, it's fine. Don't fix something that aint
broke. Post a photo if you want a more qualified opinion as to if the screw
is not performing.
