Good afternoon everyone--

Partially as a follow-up to my previous post, I've been doing a fair amount of research on the Flairs, particularly on replacement service parts (oven bake & broil elements, stove burners, burner switches, oven thermostats, etc.). From my perusing of eBay, consulting my 1984 Frigidaire Parts Manual, and visiting a variety of other suppliers of appliance parts, I've begun compiling a list of replacement parts and a supersession history to help identify the availability of usable replacement and/or substitution parts, whether new or used.

Before I possibly reinvent the wheel, so to speak, does such a resource already exist within this Group? I certainly don't want to replicate work that has already been done and shared within the Group (I did search the archive and couldn't find anything on this topic). With that said, I will be happy to share the results, and would invite others in this Group to contribute to the effort where there may be gaps in my research that can be filled with the experience I don't yet have.

My goal is to make available to those who need it the information that will help owners of Flairs locate the parts they need-- whether through the good people in this Group, through eBay sellers, through other retailers, etc.-- to be able to keep their Flairs going indefinitely. I found my local appliance store's response of "Uh, we can't help you with parts for something that old..." to be utterly unsatisfactory and unacceptable.

Here is an example of my research:

Let's say you need a Bake element for the small (left) oven on a 1960 through 1963 B-model 640 or  645:

The correct element is 10 ¼” wide by 13 ½” deep, large blade connections (3), 2200 watts. Replacement-parts options (vintage and/or current) include:

Chromalox CH963

Whirlpool CH963 or YCH963 or TS963

Carlton CH963

Gemline CH963

APWagner AP3389275

Emerson 454360

Gemline RP963

Frigidaire 6564694

Frigidaire 7520991

Frigidaire 7521900

Frigidaire 7521905

Frigidaire 9950925 (or 5309950925)

Though hard to find, these elements can be had from people in this Group, random eBay listings, and even some online retailers. But with the information above, we can better armed to find the parts we need. (Again, the above was just a single example)


As I say, please let me know if this resource already exists (and if so, where it is). And if this resource doesn't yet exist, I welcome input and also suggestions on where best to put this information other than just a series of postings.

Thanks, and best regards,


Christopher Burns

Christopher,

Did you ever do the large oven bake element equivalent? If so, can you post the list of equivalents? I just had Frigidaire  back element p/n 7532556 fry itself. As an aside, this caused my house's 220 CB to trip which left the stove in a "sort of alive" condition. The red lights came on but the burners would not heat. 

For the rest of you, I need the above part. Also, have lots of single oven parts on my possession for trade or swap or sale. Unfortunately , mu good sinfle oven element won't work in my double oven stove.

Hi Bill--

Based on the part number you shared, here are some crosses:



Bake element for medium (right) oven on 640 and 645 models: 1964 through 1968, H, J,
K, N, VN models

18 ½” wide by 13 ¼” deep, small blade connections (2), 2475 watts

Chromalox CH978
Gemline RP978
Frigidaire 632305
Frigidaire 632306

Frigidaire 7532557

Frigidaire 5309950885



Please start by trying some of the preferred suppliers on this list, some of whom will hopefully reply directly to you. If that doesn't yield a result, you can search eBay for any or all of the above part numbers, or try MyPartShelf.com for someone who still has one. Alternatively, you can search the web-- when I put the list together, websites showing availability for special order included: (as of 6/10/12)

Hope that helps,


Christopher

Hi Bill,

If you don't find one anywhere else, I have 3 CH978 bake elements left 
here. 'Can let one go for $20 plus shipping. If you email me your zip 
code off-list, I can give you a total.

I'm trying to retire ;-), and have been working on selling off my 
remaining parts inventory. 'Been making some progress, but still have a 
decent number of vintage bake elements left.

'Even have some of the older vertical blade plugin bake elements (RP963, 961) 

for the Flairs left. Don't know why I've kept them all for so long... 

Hope that's helpful. Let me know.

Thanks, and God bless you,

Thanks to all who did respond to my bake oven burner request. I was able to get a used burner on ebay by searching the p/n. It works BUT the oven gets about twice as hot as the dial indicates. Maybe the thermocouple is bad and this caused the 1st burner to fry?  Definitely the element cycles on and off at twice the temperature so I'm getting close to a fix. Does the burner control unit have a calibration adjust?

P.S. Burnt lasagna anyone??

Remove the knob for temperature setting.  Inside that hollow shaft is the adjustment screw.  You'll need a jewelers screwdriver.  Pretty sure it's a flathead.

I finally got around to trying to calibrate the large oven burner by adjusting the screw in the knob shaft. THe results (turn off/ reheat) weren't very consistent as I tweaked the adjust but finally got it pretty close. Am convinced the other burner fried because the temp adjust never shut off!! At least this time, I have the shut off a bit lower.

I have a thermocouple from a single oven Flair. Are they compatible?
