Tom, I have always assumed that reversed configuration options were available.
Fortunately, in both homes where my mom's stove lived, there were cabinets/counter tops on the burner side of the stove top. I'm not comfortable with situations where there isn't generous space between the cooking surface and the nearest wall. It's one of the reasons why I'm not inclined to use the ceramic smooth top electric module on my POS Gaggaenaubueno "Vario" cooktop. At least the gas side, which I prefer to use anyway, has countertop space next to it.

That is something I'm bummed about, it seems like a lot of models have the stove on the left and I wish ours was like that. As it is for our future plans it will put the burners right next to the hoosier.
Maybe you could attach a heat-resistant surface on the side of the hoosier if it wouldn't look too terrible. Something like an embossed stainless backsplash material with a thin heat resistant layer behind it, not glued to the hoosier but tacked on so it could be removed if the situation changes.
Unlike refrigerators, ranges are not right and left hand built. They changed the design.

Hey all, so reviving my old post as I FINALLY have the new kitchen done and the stove in place! Oven works great! Turns out I do need to replace the burners for the back left and the front right. I haven't dived into it yet but any tips for replacing those (and buying them) is appreciated!!
Also when the oven is on, the left side of the stove and front left corner do get hot enough where I'd be worried about leaving plastic sitting on it, I assume this is normal though or maybe something to be worried about?
Also also, didn't expect the oven to vent out through the back left burner, that's interesting!
Thanks all especially CircleW for the wiring help, wouldn't have known what to do otherwise!!

Your vintage kitchen is nicely done with that beautiful Westinghouse stove. I hope you’ll be able to fine the replacement burners. I’m sure that someone here will chime in soon to give the 411 on how to do it and how to find the correct burners, there’s a wealth of knowledge on AW.
I like the blend of modern and vintage in your kitchen.
I’m sure you’re gonna enjoy using this beautiful range.

That is one very lucky stove and it's beautiful in its new setting with that deluxe hood above it! It has survived and gone to heaven!
It's normal for the stove top surface above the oven to get fairly warm, as well as the area around the door. My mom used to use that rear burner above the oven vent to keep things warm when the oven was on. Less heat than on the "simmer" setting.
I hope someone here has a couple of original burners for you. Otherwise keep an eye out for the correct Corox burner elements on eBay. Interestingly, the large 8" burner on my mom's stove which was used often, was still working when I passed that stove along. That size is harder to find because stoves came with two of the smaller 6" size and only a single larger one. Maybe someone here can post a picture of what they look like so you can be sure of what you're searching for.
Congratulations on your beautiful kitchen! I know visitors will be complimenting you on your lovely Westinghouse stove!

There is a Westinghouse electric range Model D64-48 for sale on San Francisco Craigslist. The style is listed as 1350397. Range is located in Berkeley.

Thank you all for the comments! It is beautiful and we are enjoying it greatly!
I'm feeling good about being able to find some burners, but I am worried about having to swap out that thicker burner in the front right, I think someone else a while ago mentioned it might be a pain.

I couldn't find the Berkeley stove on CL.
I don't think it should be a big deal to put the correct burner back into the right-front well. You have the other two existing burners to use as a reference for proper wiring, that is if the original configuration was retained in those. I would assume the wiring was similar to my mom's stove with three leads, black, white and red. Black may have been the ground, but don't quote me on that.

This may be...
the burners that you need, but I'm no expert on Westinghouse stoves.
On Ebay, search corox.

Thanks wiskybill, I saw that one but they said they took it out of what sounded like a trailer, so one not sure it would be the same and two, not sure why they took it out so wasn't sure if it was worth the risk?
Thanks RP for the info, makes me feel more confident about diving into it!

Under appliances, search for east bay, then search for Westinghouse stove. You'll find the listing

Nice kitchen!
Glad I was able to help you with the wiring for it.
I like the way you mounted the sink. It reminds me of the one in my dad's Uncle Harry and Aunt Mabel's house. It was a cast iron sink with legs, and original to the home's 1916 construction.

Thanks Jim,
I always type "vintage" into my appliance search but clearly that's not the best strategy. I've provided a link to the CL listing. I think this stove's burners would be an exact fit for BC's stove.

Thanks RP, if I wasn't in Washington! Would cost more in gas than it would be to buy an all new stove lol.
Two 6" Elements For A vintage WH Range
You need the 2 coil type for this older range, the element would have 3 power connections, there may also be a ground wire [ the black wire is not a ground ]
The elements in reply #30 could work but you would need the trim rings and drip bowls that go with these newer elements and you would take to use the newer switches included with these elements so it could be more work to install but you would have infinite heat controls on these two elements instead of just 5 heat settings. The elements in the add are basically new but you would need to be sure they are 240 volts not 208 or 120 volts.

Thanks for the info!
I ended up just buying the burners mentioned in reply #30 as well as another 6" burner. Hopefully I can get at least one burner working
Cheers!
