received element today, the measurements are good but the nipple receptor at end does not have a hole in it. The old element has a copper flange with a hole that would screw into the receiving wire end which has a tab with a hole, I have a screw that connect them. The new element does not have a hole in the end tab. Should I drill a hole in it, or re order???? thank you

Call them or email and find out what is going on.
I would not drill, the elements are brittle so they can snap fairly easily. Unless of course they will replace it, if you break it. |

call who, customer service said this part was re-designed...does that mean the oven is obsolete? is there another part that has a hole? is there a part I can buy to adapt to the end that has a hole? will a different adapter or if I drill a hole cause an electrical concern within the back wall of the oven, where the wires would recess into? thanks...R.

I would take the element to an appliance parts supplier and get push on connectors to fit the element. There are different sizes and amperage ratings, that is why it is a good idea to take the element with you. Cut off the old connectors from the stove wires and install the new ones that fit the element. |
