Sorry for the OT noise, but here it is:
http://www.searspartsdirect.com/partsdirect/part-model/Kenmore-Parts/Range-Parts/Model-9119563591/0582/0124500/00067386/00004?blt=06&prst=&shdMod=

And yes, it had one of the early flat top elements that took forever to 
boil water. The microwave would not start until you latched the oven 
door closed. The best oven I have ever used, and I love to cook. If I 
could have had a gas top and electric microbake it would have been 
perfect. Ric
