Help with GE range please!

[zookiezoom]

Just got this GE range for my wife. She loves it even though it has a few minor problems. The sensitemp didn't work so instead of looking for new sensor,transformer or control, I just replaced the control with one I had laying around. I want to find one at least in the same configuration so I can use the original knob. This is where I ran into a wall. Looking on the net trying to match the model # or serial #, neither one appears to match any data base. Can anyone here make any sense of these?

GE in the Serial number equates to April 1969. If I remember correctly 69 was the year GE went back to rotary knobs from push buttons. Others here are going to be able to give you some info as to the model. Someone may even have the range catalog for 69 showing all the models. The fact it has sensi-temp and self-cleaning makes it an upper model. Is it also equipped with a rotisserie? The library may have some manuals pertaining to it.

GE had buttons

on some models well into the '70s. Our first new range in 1974 had them.

Yes, it has the rotisserie option but I'm afraid it has been lost. Does anyone have a part number for the standard infinite control for an 8" burner?

Also check out this older thread on converting the sesi-temp to a regular infinite switch.
