Hey I did the same and it worked. Thanks bud!

I just fixed my element by crimping the shorted ends together... Great video! Saved me $200 on a 14 year old stove! Thanks!

You are funny.😂😂😂😂

unsafe

Hi sir, do you know where can I buy the heating element?

Thanks for this tip. I thought about this fix for my rental properties.

thanks man mine is working now

I too did same thing it works

I'm going to try this reconnect trick, just to make sure that it's the broken element, and not the switch also. It's possible that the element snaped when I was picking the stove top up and flipping it over, even though I handled it very carefully. These nichrome wires get very brittle as they age, kind of like me and my bones. And I can't shove my bones back together. The doc does that, at great expense.

Were can I get the element small, medium and big element

Thanks a lot

If you have roaches and it urinates on the element then when you switch it on it will burnout😂😂

Let's see if works for me. But great vid 😊😊😊

carcinogenic dust :)

I notice the round insulation material around the edges of these burners tends to crack. Yours are cracked like mine. Is that bad? I didn't notice you repairing those round circles on the edges, just the coils. . . Otherwise, mine work fine. I'm just worried about those hairline cracks in the gray edge material. I noticed it when I had to replace the cooktop.

Great father,son bonding

Nice clear. Also very small screen. Why? Dark too ?

So I did this repair . With newer model oven. I crimped it together and reassembled it all. I turned on the double burner and the middle burner came on! I was so excited but before I could take a photo it shorted out within a couple seconds! 😆🥲

Well, hell to the yeah! GE doesn't believe in making replacement parts (at least the ones I've needed for my high end expensive refrigerator and range, after 10 years. Some are available but not the ones I need including the heating element on my range. I figured it had to be repairable and I found this! Bravo, sir! I was about to reverse engineer a 3 way valve for my refrigerator. All they did was change the wiring configuration for the newer models but they won't disclose that info. Luckily, I found the last one in the country on Ebay.

Put some duct tape on it .......................... NOT ...................... Doing what this guy says in the video is extremely dangerous and can easily cause a fire. DO NOT DO THIS

My element looked normal. I ran around the filament with a ohmmeter and half way around I lost continuity. I had to push the element abit to see the break. Quick wire pinch and all fixed.

That's good enough for me thanks.

I thought about trying this and wondered if it would work,...

Danger

Excellent

I can dig it

Awesome temporary fix. I have Whirlpool 30inch cooktop one of the element has burned wire. The part is no long available from Whirlpool no way to find it. I am going to follow your video to fix my. I wonder if I can get used one to cut metal wire to clamp it on my element instead of extending.

I loved the video, I only think you should show a drawing on how you folded the elements. I'm ready to try it. Thank you

بلغتي العربية ابدعت جدا شكرا لك

Wonder how a bit of nitrile wire would hold out.

Jeff....it's 2022. 6 Years later and I have one question....How long DID it last?

Thank you...It works like you said temporaly but still going 😁

find a broken one, and remove a a size of string you need instead of stretching the good one.

My filament is so burned its incredible it's not failing again! Thanks for the fix!

Thank you

Does anyone know the name of the the insulation replacement around the coils the brittle part

Many thanks. It worked for me. Will wait to see how long it can hold.

Thanks great work

Very good video Jeff. Has anyone tried to spot weld the coil?

I'd say Well done there. If you get low voltage in your area that would cause the element to burn out - as the voltage drops the Amperage will then spike and that's why the element burns out

Thank you. Our burnt out the replacement parts was incorrect twice. Search TH-cam while I was in HomeDepot and found your video, went back and repaired it. Thanks...

I had a cricket short an element once

Nice work. Maybe wear latex gloves and mask to protect hands.

What makes 1 man proud, makes another man roll his eyes. Black doesn't hide a thing that's for sure. It ain't perfect but did you see it before he started. Besides the State Fair called and said "no more entries". Think you could do better? I'm a optimistic kind of guy. Having the patience or time to even attempt a dash fix, just isn't available for some. Kudos for making something, normally thrown away, live yet again. Question~ when a man, works with his hands- what tool is he using? Answer ~ his brain. His arms & hands are mearly extentions~ mFulmer

Haha... don"t die,,, unplug the power... You save my life with your amazing video, thank you!

Just tried this.....It worked....I found the element gets much hotter and heats up super fast so l ll use this as a temp fix...Just wondering how safe it is to use...

Awesome working with your son! Hope you made more

They make special fillers and textured paint specifically for dash repair.

Thx sooo much!

Very well,thank you ... I used a paper clip and gave it the circular shape and voila ... it worked again (it is temporary, until I buy the replacement) Greetings from Venezuela.
