In Kansas City - for $200. Owner says one burner doesn't work. I've emailed the owner to confirm the color as the ad didn't specify - it's definately YELLOW! I don't have room - hope somebody gets it! CLICK HERE TO GO TO oldskool's LINK on Kansascity Craigslist

So..... ....what's the story on replacing a bad sensi-temp burner? Where can someone get one, or can you use a standard burner to replace it? Even though I don't have room, it's so tempting and would look so nice. Of the older colors, yellow is my favorite. | ||

A bad Sensi-Temp burner can be repaired; new parts are still floating around eBay and John combo52 has some used ones.
The major items are the sensor, which you can see in the middle of the burner, and the responder, which is in the control panel. Neither is cheap. However, take it from a Sensi-Temp owner, the feature is well worth having. It is wonderful to have precise heat control selectable by temperature. This model was available in a self-cleaning version. It was not the TOL, even with the P*7, but it was a darn nice range. If I were you, and wanted a yellow GE range and Sensi-Temp, I'd let this one go by and wait for one with P*7 self-cleaning. The luxury of not having to clean an oven is worth it, in my view. The range you brought me from Wausau has transformed my cooking habits from nil back to normal cooking now that I don't have to worry about the chore of cleaning. A Sensi-Temp burner can be converted over to a regular one, but you have to ask John combo52 what's involved; I'm sketchy on the details. If you found a 1966 GE 40-incher like Dean's (robinsondm) in yellow, you would probably be deliriously happy with it. This is Dean's range and Dean's photo; it's a 1966 J 486. This was either the last or next-to-last year that yellow was available, but it was available:

Thanks @ Sandy - thanks - great input - will probably wait. I really like the 40" in yellow - just my preference. Other members' that I've observed seem so nice. When in Omaha last summer watching Kelly cook on Gregs Pink GE 40", really wet my appetite for one. In time. | ||

If you're enamored of Greg's Liberator range, and you can live without the self-clean, you might check with Roger (firedome). He was trying to sell his yellow '58 Liberator a while back, and I didn't see anywhere that he sold it, so who knows - it could still be available.
What's unique about Roger's Liberator is that the Automatic Calrod burner works; even Greg's has had it replaced with a standard burner, I understand. Automatic Calrod was the precursor to Sensi-Temp, but was hydraulically controlled instead of electronically controlled, if I have my facts straight. The range is/was in New York State, but sounds worth the effort. And there will be effort; this is a 300-pound range. Here's a photo, and a link to Roger's original description: CLICK HERE TO GO TO danemodsandy's LINK

Sensi-Temp?
This is on Ebay right now. It appears to be a Sensi-Temp sensor.

Responder FYI, there is a Sensi-Temp responder on eBay now. The part number (WB21X153) fits my 1966 GE 40-inch range. As Sandy said, it's not cheap -- $127.31 "on sale" -- but these parts are getting hard to find.
