The repair is simple, pull out the old, plug in the new. The most difficult aspect of the repair is to make sure that you have the right part. As this is an old stove, and it was a builder model, the model number did not match exactly, and I got the wrong part which I had to return. Look at the pictures carefully as many of the parts look similar.
Removed the terminal block. Cut the wires. Cut the sheathing to expose the wire. Connected the new wires with the old wires by twisting them together. Added the wire nut and reconnected the block. Tested ok.
Needed to replace drip bowls & trim rings for hard to find older range top....
As easy as 1-2-3 !!! :) Lift up burners, place drip bowls down then trim rings, put burners down! Could not be faster or easier! :) I Could NOT find these parts ANYWHERE !!! :) After much aggravation, I was EXTREMELY happy to come across these parts at PartSelect, online! :) Thanks so much for the diagram, you made is sooooooo EASY to find the precise parts that I needed, now I can cook !!! :)
Couldn't find drip pans locally that fit my stove. I came here by chance searching the internet and found the parts I needed and had them in my hands within a day or two!! Not a big parts repair story but excellent service and shipping!! Will buy from again when needed!
It wasn't so much the repair that was needed as how impressed I was with the fast delivery. Without a fourth burner & a holiday weekend coming up I was in desperate need of my element. I ordered it around 1:00 pm on a friday & it was delivered the next day before noon! Very impressed with the ease of ordering & receiving. Thanks again.
This is an easy repair and for anyone thinking that they might have trouble effecting it, you all have my assurance that all the heat related elements are easily replaced. These elements are basically plug in and there is a shielded area (usually placed in the northeast quadrant of the burner unit. With everything turned off, pull the burnt out surface element up and toward the southwest. It should unplug from the female receptacle. Installing a new element involves performing this in reverse by coming into the surface with the prongs facing downward towards the receptacle and then pushing towards the northeast and downward at the same time The element should click into place. The entire time necessary to effect this repair should be less than ten minutes.
In a little over 15 minutes, I was able to pull the element and pan, snip the wires on the terminal block and use the wire nuts to fasten the new terminal block. The shrink wrap tubing went into place easily and all went back together easily. Best of all, the two year problem of a poor element connection was solved in a matter of minutes for a few dollars.
My GE range is 20 years old, and still going strong. All I needed was to replace the 6" surface unit. After making slight adjustments, it was just a matter of placing the new unit. After finding this Co. on the internet, and checking others, I will certainly order from Part Select again!Dorothy Trakshel
I had an appliance guy replace a burner(Calrod unit)on my 47 year-old GE range, but he didn't tell me that the original trim ring wouldn't fit. I decided to look up on PartSelect to see if I could get one to fit the new burner, and I did! Fits perfectly......no tools needed.
I could not find a dealer who could tell me what part I needed because the model was discontinued
I just went to your web page and indicated I needed an 8' surface element and up popped a picture; I ordered it and plugged it in and it works perfectly. I didn't need a model number, or a part number. Three cheers for a simple solution and a 1st class web page!
