Supplier for heating elements for old GE stove
I'm still using one of those semi-antique GE range/oven combinations.
It's probably 50 years old but aside from the timer that stripped a gear many years ago, still works fine. The problem is that the oven and range elements are becoming harder to find, at least inexpensively. It used to be that MCM Electronics had them but no more. Google turns up a couple of suppliers who want 2 or 3 times the previous prices. Maybe it's just because they are much less in demand but wanted to check here first to see if anyone has a favorite supplier. Psrt numbers a WB44X195 (small oven element) and WB30X354 and 356 (range elements).

The elements you want are no longer being manufactured for many of these
older types As they get harder to find, the dealers will keep raising their prices. If you are hard core on keeping this stove, you are best off to buy a lot of spare parts, or find a scrapper if possible, where the elements are still good (very rare). My father in-law had an older stove. He had to give up on it. -- Jerry G. ====== "Sam Goldwasser" wrote in message ... I'm still using one of those semi-antique GE range/oven combinations.

I just go to the local appliance parts place & pay their price (or use the other burners - that's why they installed 4 huh?). Just happened to see the first place below on a quick Google search if you wana stock up... http://www.mainappliance.com/specials/index.html WB30X354 ... 8", 3 wire element with trim ring. (1955-1975) $ 19.49 each WB30X356 ... 6", 3 wire element with trim ring. (1955-1975) $ 16.99 each They want to sell to "servicers only" & have a $50 min order (See footnote on page). I'm _sure_ you service these things :) My standard price comparison place: Sears parts: "http://www3.sears.com/" UNIT 8" L WB30X354 $ 42.99 UNIT 6" L WB30X356 $ 37.99 BAKE UNIT WB44X195 $ 41.49 Baking out those lasers done burnt up the element huh?

Most of what MCM sold were Gemline (Gem Products). If you have a
Johnstone Supply (www.johnstonesupply.com) branch office in your area they would probably have those elements. Try also these links: www.appliancepartsresource.com www.allapplianceparts.com www.expertappliance.com www.appliancemagazine.com www.american-appliance.com |
