Hello, did you ever have any luck finding a part to this range? I'm looking for parts as well. My sensi-temp burner works, but intermittently turns off by itself.

I haven't been able to find the exact model or serial number, haven't found anything on any of the front surfaces, and can seem to move it at all, must be secured to the back somehow, may need to take something apart.

From what I can tell though, it's a General Electric Americana P-7 from the sixties. Looks almost exactly like this:

General Electric Americana Range P-7 1964 Ad - eBay (item 350012737170 end time Mar-06-08 03:47:04 PST)

There was a round spring loaded sensor in the middle of the burner which I removed. I was told this was a heating accelerator. It now seems to stay on more consistently, but I can't adjust the the temperature, it just stays at full blast high the whole time. I tried adjusting the little screw adjuster behind the dial that just says "low" clockwise or "high" counterclockwise, nothing. I check the wire connections in back, a couple seemed to be loose, but it may have just happened when I pulled the panel off because when I pushed all the wires down it still didn't change anything. Makes me think it might be the temperature adjusting dial itself.

Anyone know how I could test just the dial mechanism by itself with a multitester?

Thanks!

Karl
