Stove is very old (at least 30 years) and made by
Westinghouse. Name says "Westinghouse Continental".
It has an oven under the range part and again overhead.
I find the label but can not read
the model number :-( . The label says 20.04 Kw.


The socket is made of a
heavy ceramic block. A picture is he

If someone could tell me where to find one of
these things I would be very grateful. The usual
parts suppliers seem to be unable to proceed without
a model number.


Thanks in advance.

Go find a better parts store where the guy behind the counter is a real
appliance part guy. First clues are he is at least 55-60, smokes a cigar,
growls at customers and has a pot belly.

The twerp kid at the place where you went was probably a 19 year old HS
dropout with an earring who wouldn't know a heating element from a hole in
the wall.- Hide quoted text -
