Simple replacement on an old "built in" range in good condition but drip pans and trim rings soiled beyond cleaning. Stove top, although 20+ years old, now looks like new. So glad to find parts were still available as "universal" replacement parts for the 8 inch burner do not fit. Delivered to my door in days.
I logged into GE's website, put in my stovetop's requirements for size and type of trim rings, and was taken to partselect's site where I found what I needed. I ordered it and it came in less than a week!
disconnected power remove oven racks and oven bake shields removed two bolts from end bracket plate on element carefully pull bake element partly out until the electrical wires are visible, remove two small screws, remember the side of element each wire attaches, red is power black is ground. , replaced new element in reverse order, reattach wires to element and snug tighten , not over tighten. Element worked like new.
The bake element started to crack and open in several areas.It was just a matter of time before it would of broken in half.
Turn the power of to the stove used a 5/16 socked and unscrewed the element from the stove. Used the socket to remove the wires from the element. Installation was easy make sure you hold the end of the elements where the wires attach so they do not bend when tightening. Everything is working and back to normal. Make sure you use the model number to get the correct part needed.Part select was the best and delivery was with in 5 days.
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!
There was no burner listed like 40 yr old burner that failed. Got one the same size and connections. Cut old burner out of the stainless steel ring and new burner fit right in. New burner works great
The instructions on striping the wires was slightly confusing.
I stripped one wire on the first burner. Then I realized that the terminals were the ones that could be left. Finding a replacement terminal has proved to be difficult. Once I realized my mistake I could change the other three burners very easily.
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.
