Glad to hear that you got it safe and sound and reasonably intact.

Is the bad burner an 8" or 7"? Does it have a little spring loaded disk in the middle of the burner which touches the base of the pan. Although not that common here I know for certain they were used in the TOL English Electric Rapide Cookers (57 & 68) and possibly on the Electra cookers (these were about the only cookers I can remember that came in a range of colours) which were EE sourced.

I suspect that you will need both oven elements working to get an even oven heat.

Did I read it right that you have an instruction book for this?

Can you take a good picture of the burner and the actual plug in part because there are at least 4 different variations, vertical spade shape, horizontal spade , wire hook ,and button shaped. Also a good picture of the oven elements.

Burners

Hey Al, The offending burner is 8" although it measures 7.5 across the top.
The RF unit has the spring thing, and this works fine.Yes Al,manual and wiring diagram!
The oven gets hot in minutes as the grill comes on at the same time as the bake elements,but having read the diagram I nearly had a stroke,the grill element is 3000 watts plus two bake elements in the bottom @ 900 watts each,nearly five kilowatts to bake! I currently pay about £150 per month for electricity,so if I don't use the range for cooking I should be fine!
Even though I have to spend a few shekles I am still pleased.
It also came with rotisserie rods,fab coz I use this a lot.Only thing missing,yep you guessed it,the probe,oh and clock doesn't work.But heated shelf at the back does,this will be a really useful bit of kit,save me draggin out me hostess!
As I said, the oven does function but way off temp wise,&#92i guess this being due to one of the bake elements being bad.Other stove still in the lounge as cant quite make up my mind which one of ems staying.

PeteK.. wll take pics tom,I had called a couple of companies here but the watts are different,mine requires 2125 watts and the universal is only 1800, and a tad smaller.So if you could help link me somewhere I would be oh so greatfull After getting nowhere here after 10 calls this morning I thought I was gonna end up turning it into a planter!
Anyways pete,I would be very greatfull for any info you can give,
Many thanks

There's not too many appliance repair places left here in our little town but when you get me the pictures I'll go take a look. As well our Habitat Restore is closed at the moment and re opening sometime in the middle of April, they often have old coils removed from stoves no longer working for sale.

And the controls

 

[peterlondon]

the whole thing

Can't get the screws out of the botton two bake elements,I guess I will just have to keep trying.
I think I should be able to get something here for the oven,it's the coils I think will be the problem

Hmmm little balls.. I'll scout around though can't promise anything. They may have used those in the states as well on some makes.

Panel light prob

Hello ALl,Deary me, I am having problems with this range.
Aside from all the other stuff, now the panel lights keeps blowing.This has also knocked out the rotisserie and the oven light.I found a compartment under the oven with one fuse.changed this but lights still dead.(also changed all bulbs)
Surely there wouldn't be a secondry fuse behind the panel?
Anybody any idea's
