Looking for a GE Thermostat plastic frame

[whiteymet]

Hi All:

I am looking for five or six plastic frames from a GE electric heat thermostat. Photos of what I need can be found here:

I have also attached two photos

Thanks in advance for any help you can give.

Looks like you could use a "blank" switchplate and cut a hole in it with a dremel saw.

From the picture it looks like a single device Decora wall plate. If not, all you would have to do is trim one a bit to make the opening the correct size.

Just about like this one...

Hi Guys;

Thanks for the suggestions, but the wall plates do not work. The frame I am trying to replace is 5/8" thick, or deep. It has to be that deep to hide the what is behind the faceplate and dial of the thermostat.

Any other ideas???

Thanks,

Fred

That thermostat is very old ( possibly 30 years??) and surely is not still made. There were probably not enough of them made that anyone is making aftermarket parts. The only place which might have one is a very large, old, electric supply and salvage dealer.

You will probably just want to replace the entire thermostat, at a cost lower than just that cover would cost you.
