Keeping my 1966 GE range, thanks to this site!

I know you posted this a LONG time ago, but could you share a detail photo of the knobs for the right oven? I just bought a J487 that uses the same knobs and mine have been changed. Want to be sure of the correct ones. Also, how about a detail of the clock? My knob is missing, and I have no idea what replaces it. Thanks a million!

Hi Tom,

I finally saw this post after more than a month of not logging into the site. I also replied to your posts in my "1969" stove thread. You actually don't want the oven or Sensi-Temp knobs from my former 1966 model, as they were completely different. Fortunately, it appears -- from your later post in my "1969" thread -- that you found the correct replacements for your oven and burner knobs. Again, please see my note in that other thread. Congratulations on your find!

Please Help!

Hi Everyone!
My name is Bryan and I am new to the forum! I hope someone on here can help myself and my family.

We purchased an old home built in the 1920's and it came with the exact same GE P7 free standing range in the first picture in this thread. Unfortunately, the oven temp switch(or responder) is burnt out and the main oven does not work.
Can anyone here help me locate the part?

Thanks so much
Bryan

Need info

I recently purchased an old GE range. It’s a 40” P7. I need a couple of items for it. It looks very similar to the range posted by robinsondm at the beginning of this thread. The model number is J487C1. I’d like to find a manual on this unit. My wife absolutely loves it. I just need more info. When I try to look information up on the web, I come up with zilch by using the model number. I’ll attach some pics of the serial plate. Thanks in advance!

Mike,

It could be difficult to find information specifically for this range.  What you can know is it's a 1967 model; "J487C" is all that's usually used to designate the model (the "C" indicates the year in this case).  Keep your eyes out for a 'Use and Care Book' for the range; Ebay is a good place to monitor for the book.

1966 GE P7 Stove Elements

This was such a great thread! We just purchased a house in upstate NY and have the same Model GE Stove and need to figure out how to replace the Burner Elements. Only one works properly. The Sensi element only works on high, the others do not heat all the way. Are the elements still made or do I need to purchase vintage ones? If I replace them, is this a easy job or is it complex?

This site is awesome! I learned so much by poking around.

The oven works like a charm and keeps a steady and accurate temperature. The clock keeps time well, the light still works, the outlets work well.
THANKS FOLKS!

Best
LennyLenny
