I don't mean to sound like a downer or dramatic, but it's genuinely sad seeing someone who puts so much effort into concise, helpful information have such few subscribers. Still, it's not vacuous engagement and your videos absolutely have a marked effect on people's quality of life and knowledge. Thank you.

[@Know-How-Now]

You are welcome. My focus is not on me or for my ego, but on solving the viewer's problem. I am having fun making the videos and do enjoy helping people. I've read that some of the very popular channels game the system and pay for views & comments. All of the views and comments on the channel are genuine. I've only ever had to delete a hand full due to offensive language, trolling or spam.

YOU. ARE. BRILLIANT! We just moved into a new apartment and the 3 smaller burners refused to lay flat, even when using a heavy pot or pan. After several exhausting, and expensive, trips to the hardware store for different drip pans I tried your hack of wrapping tin foil around one of the legs and PRESTO! suddenly it no longer wobbled! THANK YOU!!!!! As this was driving me nuts every time I used the stove you have saved my sanity!🥳

[@shannon2506]

Thank. You. So. Much!! I just bought a new stove & both large burners were super wobbly & uneven. I could get it in flat, but then they wouldn’t heat up…the only way they worked was if they wobbled 🤦🏻‍♀️. I was just about to call for warranty service, but thought I’d check KZbin just to see if someone had a solution & I came across your video. This worked great….thanks for saving me the embarrassment!!

Thanks for this going to look up how much a replacement burner costs.

[@Know-How-Now]

Find the model number on the stove, look up the part number and check eBay. I recommend OEM parts. Be careful, there are a lot of sellers that imply it's an OEM part, but it's not.

[@Master_Blackthorne]

Thanks for the advice! I have the problem for years.

this looks very similar to my stove. But I can't figure out what year it was made.. Also, the oven knob still lights up when it turns to warm, which I believe is off?

All four of the coils on my electric stove or warped like you demonstrated, when you place them upside down they rock back and forth. Is the only solution buying new ones?

[@Know-How-Now]

Not that I know of. If it's a good quality older stove, it is worth replacing them. The new appliance don't last long. It's best to get OEM parts. Look up the part number for them, then shop around. I sometimes find OEM parts on eBay at a reasonable price.

Hey there my burner is to hot and does not go down in temperature. Do you have a video to fix that problem, thank you.

It's probably the infinite switch, that's the switch behind the control knob. They often stick. I don't have a video that shows how to replace it.

[@amberhandley7842]

I have this stove, I need to clean the area under the burners but the top part doesn't just lift up like other stoves I've had. Can you help please?

[@Know-How-Now]

The only way I know is to remove the burners, trim rings and pans, then try to clean underneath. I have a video that shows how to remove the burners. kzbin.info/www/bejne/mKixdJ-vmbt9bKs

[@Elena-mk6bf]

In the case of my stove, the stove top got warped. Would your trick help my unleveled burners case?

[@Know-How-Now]

Without seeing the situation, I might give you bad advice. You could give it a try.

[@username6333]

I have the same exact stove, where did you find the replacement coils?

[@Know-How-Now]

Open the oven door, get the model number off of the plate. Go to one of the online appliance parts stores. Get the part number for the new coil. Buy genuine GE Calrod coils. A lot of the parts stores will try to sell you an after market part.. they are very tricky. Make sure it is a genuine ge part. I usually look up the part number on eBay. and buy it there. They should show you a picture of the item in a blue/white plastic bag. I think I paid around $40-55 shipping included. I sort of think there is something weird about looking up the model of the stove. Maybe you omit the "J"? If you can't get the part numbers, get back to me with the model number off of the stove. If it's the same as mine, I check my notes. I'm pretty sure I have the part number for both size coils. Subscribe, like watch some videos on the channel... no one else will bother to help you as I just did.

[@Madxlyn]

What if mine is super wobbly? Like the left and right legs don’t touch the sides. I also don’t have a silver ring around each burner, is that the problem?

[@Know-How-Now]

Maybe the rings are missing? Somewhere on the stove there is a tag with the model number. Don't forget to open the oven and look around there. After you have the model number, go to one of the online appliance parts sellers. Search for the burners and look at the parts diagram to confirm that the stove did have rings around the burners.

[@mimilong3817]

You never have uneven bottoms on cast iron pans plus they are heavy and weight the burner down.

If you have a cooker with coil elements,throw it away and get a sealed unit that has flat sealed plates. No more having to adjust,file,bang and swear! Just level the cooker and everything is done. Voilà

[@Know-How-Now]

The range in the video has been in service since 1989. I have several friends who bought new ranges and guess what? One never worked right from the factory. Another broke after a few uses. They had to wait weeks for a part. The repair guy told her, buy a hotplate until we get the part. If you want to swear buy a new stove.

Again ,how do you level the back feet in an enclosed space?No one has a clue!!!

[@Know-How-Now]

Unless you can take the bottom drawer out and reach the feet, then you'll have to slide it out, guess at the adjustment, put it back in place, check. Repeat until it's level. I keep super sliders on the feet of my stove. It makes it easy to slide back & forth and doesn't damage the floor.
