Electric Range Element
It's a standard range with two small and two large stove top elements.
The outer ring on one of the larger elements no longer glows orange and it takes much longer to cook. Are these elements universal size? If so, where do I buy? Or is it necessary to write to GE, furnish model number, etc. and order it special? Thank You. |

Maureen,
Look in your phone book under appliance repair parts. There will be store that stock these elements. Give them a call. Before you call write down the Brand and model Number so you can tell them. The people in these store are usually very helpful. There are lot's of internet stores too. Are you sure that the problem is in the element? A cheap way to check is to swap the two large elements and see if the "broken" element still fails to work in it's new position. Dave M. |

Beleve it or not, there's a jillion of them on ebay, cheap. |

Hi,
Electric Range Element Model#?? http://www.applianceaid.com/model.html Some model# helps. It's a standard range with two small and two large stove top elements None are standard nor are the different manufactures the same. Are these elements universal size? Nope. Or is it necessary to write to GE, furnish model number, etc Not necessarily GE, but yes the model# is best to use and/or bring in the element to local appliance parts depot. http://www.applianceaid.com/partserange.html Some online parts depots. jeff.
