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

Go to a real parts store. Take your photo in or bring in the old part.
Pay for the replacement when they hand it to you. Install it. Simple and
easy.
