6-Inch Coil Burner Element

When we bought our home less than a year ago, we had three functional burners on our 40" wide 50's classic Kelvinator (not close to standard size these-a-days). After a few months of use, two more burners went out for good and we were stuck using the back left burner for all of our cooking. I opted for the premium burners and made sure to compare my terminals with the ones online to be sure they mounted the same. I removed the burners and terminals, clipped the wires going into the terminals, and removed the top of the stove. I followed the directions that came with the new terminals, pushed in the new burners and viola! All four burners now work. I gave the stove a general cleaning and now my 1954 Kelvinator looks and cooks like it is brand new. It was easily the best $109 I've spent on my home.

pull the element out and slide the new element in.No tools needed,it's that easy.

removed burnt out terminal block, installed new- I soldered wires instead of using wire nuts, took a little extra time, but I feel it's a better connection. I later found that my rotary control must have burnt out too, I swapped it with one from another burner. I'll be ordering a couple rotary controls next from this company. All parts were nice quality. Received quickly.

Pulled out the existing surface elements (4) and inserted the four new ones. New surface elements work great. Heats like a new cooktop stove.

I determined that the failure was due to age and wear on the element. Therefore I thought it wise to replace all four burners as a preventative measure. First unplug from power! Replacing the burners was plug-and-play simple. Replacing the switch was easy: Remove the back panel, pull the control knob and remove the two screws securing the switch. Move the terminals to the new switch (one at a time) and mount it with the two screws and replace the back panel. NOTE: The foot bracket on the large burners were about 1/32" too stout and the burner element would not seat in the ring properly. I made a slight adjustment with my grinder and everything fits perfectly.

I removed the old burner, drip pan, and burner terminal block. Cut and stripped the wires. I used wire nuts to connect the wires and used shrink tube to secure the nuts. Installed the drip pan and the burner. Hint: When turning the burner on use a vent fan or open windows or doors to get rid of smoke from the new burner.

Plugged the new one in and it worked.
I did search out Frigidaire parts and there are other types tha may or may not work. Calrod burners are not all that unusual. I went with the real thing.

just unplug stove and unscrewed element out of back wall cleaned up mess and reinstalled. stove top you just pull out bake element and push back in

Unplugged the element and the melted on pot. Plugged in the new element. I thought I might need a whole new cooktop but a new element was very easy to find online.

I unplugged the damaged unit and plugged in the new one.
