Marc for Model Number Magic Chef Self Cleaning Double Wall Oven 24" 1960's I removed the broken bake element from the upper oven and it had a 3-wire setup. Two of the wires had standard spade connectors and were removed easily. The 3rd wire (ground?) was attached to a small metal plate on the right side of the element. The plate had a larger hole in it that the element went through. It also had a smaller hole for a screw terminal which the wire was wrapped around. This 3rd wire is stranded wire. The new elements only have the two spade connectors. What do I do with the 3rd wire? Should I solder it to the element? Do you sell those metal plates with screw terminals? Or can it be attached to the wire on the right side and run through the same spade connector?
Answer Hello Marc, early range/stove production had a separate ground wire for the oven element, That is no longer used as it is grounded through the mounting screws now. Read More... Answered by AppliancePartsPros.com | Monday, January 20, 2020
