Frigidaire Caprice Oven won't work

Hi, I am trying to fix a very old Frigidaire Caprice Oven (by General Motors believe it or not). It 'popped' and now does nothing. Only the light and main element (part number 821259) worked previously, but now neither work (I changed the light bulb). I checked the fuses in the outside electrical box, all good. A new element is $128 with no return. How can I check it is really the element before buying a new one? There are no signs of damage, holes etc on the element. Or is there a hidden fuse or something in the oven?

I have a Frigidaire Caprice double oven, 45 years old, the inner glass panel on the top oven door has shattered. I am not having any luck with finding replacement glass, any ideas?

take a profile of the glass shape (cut out the shape from cardboard) and go to a glass supply shop ( glass windows , doors , shower screens etc)
they should be able to cut and then temper the glass to make it heat proof for the door
if they cannot temper it they should be able to tell you where you can get it done

Hi,
If your electric2_bing.gif oven is not heating then you probably have a bad heating element in your oven. This is not that hard to fix yourself...

I have 1950's Frigidaire electic oven by General Motors and the top heating element is broken. Where might I find a replacement?

Partselect.com had the oven element for my '60s Frigidaire GM stove. They have a good "narrow your search" feature that was helpful as the model number is no longer recognized.
Give them a try. Pull your bad element and measure it to get a match.
