It's been 6 years since I first posted here about this stove, so long that my profile was deleted! I'm back to sip at the well of knowledge of automaticdishwasher.org The lower heating element in my oven stopped working, and pulling it apart, I found that the wiring clip on the end of one of...

If by light feature you mean a burner light, this range does not have it. And you're right, I won't be able to heat just the inner coils on the Corox burners, but what I can do is cook on medium, which the old corox switches would not do. I poked around our local vintage parts place, and they...

I just wanted to follow up on this thread in case anyone else ever has this stove and Google brings them here. In the end I replaced all the switches, including the Super Corox flasher, with King Seeley infinite switches. In order to use these, I had to remove the Common wire from the wiring...

So is that as simple as connecting a wire from the one hot side to the other hot side on the burner (thus in parallel)? My apologies for my ignorance, but high school electronics was a few decades back.

Tomturbomatic, thank you for all your help! Looks like I'm in the market for three new switches. I'll check the wiring diagram on the Super Corox switch and see if I can make the modifications you mention. I'm heading over to our local guru to see how I go about getting and installing switches...

Okay, so I've tested all three of the standard Corox burners. The only setting that is not working as expected is Medium. Instead of 120v to both the inner and the outer, it's sending 240 to the outer and nothing to the inner. Thus, glowing outer element. So for now, if I want to tend to my...

Expected voltages Thanks for the breakdown. I'll check the voltages at each setting and see what I get.

Yet another burner question Okay, so the Super Corox burner is working great, but I have a question about the others. All three remaining Corox burners (with 5-position switches) do something that just doesn't seem right. When set to medium, they all heat up much more on the outer coil, leaving...

Replacement Super Corox As I was hunting, I found this ebay auction for a Super Corox burner, reportedly never used...

Miraculous Healing So I checked the continuity on the inner coil, and it was fine. Then I checked the voltage, but wasn't really thinking about the outer coil, and as I was checking the inner and being surprised by a 117v reading, I heard a click from the switch. I checked the outer coil and...

Thank you all! The interior coils are NOT heating, so I will check them for continuity and check the wires for voltage. Other than this and checking for broken wires, any suggestions? Poking around the interwebs, it sounds like finding a replacement burner or switch could be nigh impossible. Do...

I just got an early '50's Westy with the Super Corox burner, but it seems to have a problem. The burner is arranged with one wider element ring on the outside, and narrower element rings in the center. The problems is that even on Simmer, the outer ring heats to red hot. So, I'm hoping this...
