Kevin N Oakland , CA August 09, 2019 Dead 1970s GE stove heating elements Ordering the right part is the key. This is the element with 3 wire connectors NOT the usual kind with 2 prongs that slide in. Thank goodness this company carries these elements for old GE built-in stoves. I'm not super handy but replaced two in about 40 min. Make sure you save the old ceramic clamps. The three prongs of the element with connected wires need to fit completely in the ceramic grooves so the two sides can be clamped together. The new element comes with everything you need but the new ceramic pieces don't fit as well so I ended up reusing the old ones. 28 People found this story helpful Do-It-Yourself Rating: Repair Time Estimate: 30-60 minutes
