Comment on Wall oven selection
technocat@lemm.ee 6 days agoI have a 1955 GE wall oven in my home I use. My oven’s heating element was pretty trivial to replace and was about 20$ on Amazon. I also have a mechanical timer and the oven is bright pink.

Did you have to finagle with the element at all to get it in?
Mine have a terminal pitch of 16 inch, and the only dimensioned elements I’ve seen so far with a similar shape are 18". I could flex it a bit I suppose.
Also most I have seen have quick-connect/Faston terminals, whereas my oven has screw terminals. Less of a problem than dimensions I suppose.

Yes, mine was a faston type terminal that was pretty simple to insert. Then 2 screws to hold it in place. Mine was 18.5" x 19.5" and the socket was low down with the heating element.
