1961 GE Range 408V - Sensi-Temp burner not working

[gia]

Hello all - I own the beautiful turquoise push button range in the pic

The left front burner 4/6/8" does not work at all. You can see the sensor is missing. I can hear the motor when I push the buttons for it.

My understanding is that these parts don't exist anymore.

What can I replace this burner with?

Thanks!

Hi Gia, there are two ways to fix the LF element on this stove other than finding out what is actually wrong and then finding hard to find replacement parts.

 

You can replace the rotary control where you would set he temperature with an infinite switch and then you keep the three size element, this is what I usually do for our customers.

 

2nd way to fix is to get another 6 button burner switch like the other 3 on the range and then you get another 8" element like the RR element and then the RR and LF will operate the same way. The RR type elements are still easy to find, the PB switch is a litter harder to find.

Right Idea, but totally the wrong switch, shaft is wrong size and too short and this sw is for a small a 6" element.
