Hi GB,
You have probably moved on from this topic, but I have been wanting to find the time to offer up an idea.
I have a Royal Chef oven/range that has had the same thing happen. However, I noticed that the coil pins that plug in didn't appear to be the proper width apart to make a good firm seat. Turns out that the bar of metal that holds the pins at the correct distance apart has broken away (possibly from pressure?), so I jammed a small paper clip in there to create enough pressure to keep the pins far enough apart. I have used other small pieces of metal, too, but they rock around in there. The paper clip seems to be the most stable fix. The paper clip comes nowhere near the pin ends, so there is no danger of the paper clip meeting with an electrical connection.
If your burner pins still maintain their integrity, ignore what I have written. Just thought I'd toss it out there as something to look at.

> Question: QUESTION: I have a Magic Chef oven/range. The numbers are blurry but it looks like model # 351. the two big burners are not working well. I have to push the elements in hard to make them work. Often that does not work so I twist them, take them out and put them back in and put them in at different angles. In other words, whatever works. This has happened to this range before and I have gotten either/ and new burners or new sockets for the burners. at least once before on this stove. The stove we had before this did the same thing with the big burners and usually the front one, which we use the most. I get tired of putting in new burners and sockets. Is there a better and easier and cheaper way to do this?

Whenever I take the burners out I put them in tight. However, sometimes the receptacles seem to be loose or not quite hold the burners in properly and if we move a pan on the burner then it seems to move the burner and then the receptacle. I can replace the receptacle and burner but is there a way to stablilize the receptacle and burner so this will not happen again?
