What can you do when the heating element in your stove cracks in two?

Can it still be used or would it start a fire?

Can I buy a new element and install it – how much would it be?

Or am I stuck buying a whole new stove/oven?
.
the oven in about 20 years old and this is the first time something bad has happened to it.
.
I would like to buy another because its old but before last night, it worked perfectly.
.
can older model elements be found.
.
.
its an old Sears model
.

DO NOT USE IT! My husband got hurt that way and our apartment could have burned down!

You can just buy a new element…look online for the manufacturers website…they may list a newer element that is compatible with your older stove.

Please don’t use it:)

Best Wishes!

    pull on it and it will unplug and go buy a new one. I don’t think they’re that expensive.

    usually easily replaced depending on the model. Some just unplug; some are screwed in; some require a serviceman to change. Grab a flashligh and see; if not sure, call a repairman; much cheaper than a whole new range

    you can buy a new one. If you cant install it easiliy you can call for repair service. They usually charge about $69 for the initial call and may have the part on their truck. The part that I just got was $100.00 You can usually get information from the manufacturers web site or by calling them. Be sure that you have the model number handy. DO NOT use this until its repaired. It is a definite hazzard.
