I stumbled upon this site as I was trying to research my Suburban Wall Oven. We moved into a house not long ago and it had a built in electric oven. I can't find much about the Suburban brand.
A few months back the bottom heating element went bad (you can see in the photo where it caught fire). I'm trying to see if anyone knows where I can buy replacement parts, or know of a part that would be compatible (from my research, the oven was manufactured by Samuel Stamping and Enameling Co which I believe may have ben taken over by the Sears Roper line).
The oven is otherwise in great shape and looks great in the kitchen (it has a matching Suburban cooktop!). I don't want to replace it if I can fix it!

Take the element out carefully and take it to your local appliance parts store...there's likely something on their shelf that will work.

Suburban

I know Surburban now makes stoves and ovens for RVs. You may want to try an RV store if all else fails, I know many have great access to parts.

is this it?

This is a page from a 1998 Gemline parts catalog. Cross check the dimensions of your bake element and check with a parts supplier. It might be more common than you think!

We had a Suburban wall oven & matching gas cook top growing up.   The oven was very large and cooked well (except for broiling).  It was a fairly deluxe model; it had a built-in rotisserie for use in the broiler compartment.   My parents used that feature once!  

 

The cooktop was basic and worked, but suffered from issues with the pilot lights not working correctly (not lighting the burner).  We had to fan the air over the burners with our hand to get the gas to light!  We could never fix it. 

 

Both units lasted well into the 90's when my mom finally replaced them during a kitchen "update".  

 

They must have been a very small producer of appliances;  I did not know anyone else who had this brand of oven/cooktop and never saw another one in any house I visited.   

 

Hope you're able to find a replacement element.

I think they specialized in the very narrow (21") built-in oven market; then did a minimal line around that. They used Suburban in a neighborhood where I lived built in 1957 or so, where built-in oven/cooktop were an option. A neighbor still had hers into the late 70s, when she remodeled upgraded to a harvest gold Tappan Convectionaire. The next subdivision over (built about 5 years later) used Vernois as their built-in cooking supplier--they had weird dials, as I recall.

There was a post on here a while ago where someone had a coppertone Suburban electric cooktop with griddle. The elements on it were Monotube units, and I believe it had distinct dial settings rather than infinite.

The oven was a Frigidaire though.

I hope you can find a new element for your oven.
