    I just got an electric stove yesterday. I'm gonna be taking it apart this weekend and I'll be sure to keep whatever switches I find. If you still need them by then, let me know

    You will need to have the Make and Model numbers to replace those switches. Manufactures like to keep changing the style of parts so you have to go to them for replacements. They call the changes improvements, but we know better.

    If you haven't done so yet I just typed in "appliance parts" in Google and came up with a bunch of vendors. I've used some of them with good results. I apologize if you've tried that. If it's an old stove places like that may not stock parts for it.

    I can find the switches no problem. the problem is I cant afford $18 to $25 each for them. just about any robert shaw or Johnston step or reo switch will work, they just make you think they wont.

    True but they look better if they mount like they were meant to. Sure anyone can rig it. I guess Oldman's wife ain't to fussy.

    This is a newer stove. How old is yours and what type? Also, do you need any other parts as backups?

    it's a GE about 10 years old, the switches qare mounted on a piece that sets on top of and at the back of the cooking surface. the switches mount with 2 screws through the metal into the switch. I need the knobs too. I designed and built kilns for several years so I can pretty much make any step or reo switch work.
