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

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.

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