Your first step should be to call the manufacturer. See the contact information here: https://www.contacthelp.com/General%20Electric/customer-service. If you can't get the part from the company you may be able to obtain the part number. Then try the following:
- Try an online parts source like http://www.ereplacementparts.com/ or https://www.partstore.com/
- Contact local parts dealers or heating supply dealers, who might be able to supply or maybe fix the part
- Enter your part number in a search engine like Google or Yahoo
- Try http://www.searchtempest.com/, which displays global listings from eBay, Craigslist, and other sources
- Take the part you have to an appliance technician, who might possibly be able to fix or replace the part
- Contact refurbishing companies
Hope this is useful. Please don't forget to click the Accept This Answer button if you do accept it. My aim is to provide reliable helpful answers, not just a lot of them. See https://www.helpowl.com/profile/Odin.
