Help with a 15 year old GE range

11 years ago

We have a GE Monogram dual-fuel range, the oven of which quit. The GE technician said the "hot wire relay" was shot and was no longer available, so the entire $4000 range is unusable. In addition, its width is 29-1/2 inches, and I cannot find another range which will fit into the old space.

    The important part is how wide the cabinet/counter opening is. Can you measure that? One of us can probably help find a solution but we need to know how wide the actual space it in the cabinetry!

    Have you searched the internet for that model number? May be aftermarket parts.

    You have a standard cutout, any 30" range will fit fine.

    I have a granite countertop which has a 29-3/4 inch opening.

    Look on eBay for the part. I also needed a part for my GE Profile Range earlier this year and was furious when I called GE and they told me they no longer make the part. Of course they do this so people are forced to buy new ranges. But I was able to purchase the part on eBay and install it myself.

    A recent posting here by waelbring helped me identify my range as a DCS-manufactured GE Monogram. The picture looks just like mine. The model number is ZDP304NPSS, and the failed part is called the oven Hotwire Relay, WB21X5362. The GE repairman says that it is discontinued and unavailable. My wife tried to find this part over the internet and, except for one questionable response from Ebay ($600 for the part), she found nothing. Could it be that there is an equivalent DCS part? A friend of mine was remodeling his kitchen and gave me an old GE range, which works, but it is not of the same quality of mine. Now that I have a working substitute, I'll pull out the monogram and see if I can find the part and, perhaps, fix it.

    If you have a 29.5" cut out many 30" ranges will work. I'd not waste time or $$ trying to repair a 15 year old unit.

    Fixed!

    I didn't want to tear into this range until I had a backup. A friend who was remodeling his kitchen gave me an old electric range, which I installed in my basement. I then pulled out the Monogram and found the hot wire relay. After much trepidation, I pulled it out and checked that the hot wire part was working but the contacts were pitted. After a little burnishing, I reinstalled it and it now works great!

    I realize this post is a year old but in the event anyone sees this - I have the same exact issue w the same stove/part. Any chance anyone knows where to find the part? I'm scouring the internet and have found nothing but an ebay post for $725 - no way! Any help?
