The speed heat burners are unique and amazing. They worked by using an exceptionally high voltage (220v) at first to get them red hot FAST.. like amazingly fast and then a thermostat would reduce the voltage to 120v. They work so much better than modern burners.

There are kits to repair enamel.. I wouldn’t even attempt it with this fine appliance.

However, there are companies that specialize in such work. Usually they will repair vintage enamel bathtubs but I’m sure they repair appliances as well. Best of luck!

With speed heat burners. I love those… too bad they cracked easily due to the fluctuation In voltage but Jesus jumping Christ they worked great.
