First I took the old element with me to a local big box store that sells appliances. Surprised to find out they don't sell elements. I was given a card with a number to call and a web site where I could order my part. I found out pretty quickly that this web site didn't carry the element I needed. In searching the web, I came across AppliancePartsPros.com. Plugged in my information and YES, my element was available! And for a very attractive price! My next surprise was how quickly it was shipped! I got an e-mail just a few hours after ordering that it had been shipped. Fed Ex delivered it in 3 days (lost a day due to Thanksgiving). My husband installed it in less than 5 minutes. Just a matter of a couple of screws and turning the breaker back on. By the way, my electric range is 24 years old. Hoping this new element gives me another 24 years! Couldn't be happier!
