Need Help With Year of Vintage GE Stove

[kmusselwhite]

Hello and thank you for this forum. I have a vintage GE stove and am unable to locate any information on this stove. Have even spoke with GE and they are unable to locate the model number or serial number for it. I need help because id like to repair it but have no idea where to find parts.

Your Model Number is J418Y, and the Y should indicate that the range is a 1964 model.

Something to keep in mind

Most repair shops neither know nor care that just about everything in that stove which can break is still made or a safe modern equivalent is available.

The push buttons are a real challenge, but the rest should be no problem.

We had to replace the energy regulator in our 1974 GE recently. I went to the local parts shop and the young man (idiot) insisted on knowing the model. When he saw it was older than 10 years old, he insisted there were no parts available.

I pointed out that the energy regulator on the pegboard behind him worked just fine. He insisted it couldn't. I bought it, and he wrote on the receipt that it was not returnable.

Crazy. Parts online are your best bet.

Keven,

You need to have that young man stop by and show him how wrong he was/is.
