RC8400XAB1 Whirlpool Cooktop - Instructions

pulled out old burner and pushed in new burner.
No tools needed.

I ordered the 2 burners that were not working. When I got the burners, I discovered that one of the burners was still working and the wiring under that on had burned out. So I ordered the little box kit and repaired it. I only needed to strip wires and twist together and replace the small box. Now all are working and I am cooking with all four burners again. All for about $50.

After finding the correct Y-frame, inches and watts in a surface burner, it was easy to just slide in the slots. Tested, and it was perfect. Now it makes all of the other burners look bad. Thanks. Your site was the only one, that I was sure I had the correct part.

Simply removed new burner from box and plugged it in! Very pleased with 3 day speedy delivery. Confident my 32 year old cooktop will continue to give many more years of service with any parts needed from PartSelect.

Since it was a plug-in burner, only needed to pull it out and put the other one in.

Another thing I would like to say is that I was very well pleased with the service from partselect.com. I was unable to find the burners in my area.
Was very helpful in selecting the part and was very efficient in sending it.

Pug it in! That's it!

Unplugged the old one and plugged in the new, which you sent promptly. No tools. Easiest fix ever.

My husband broke the cilp in our rental unit when I had the burners out to clean them. It was a piece of cake to install! I just attached the clip with the screw and nut provided. This website was great because it was so easy to find the part. Whirlpool's website had no images of this part and terribly inadequate descriptions. I guess they'd rather I buy a new range... I'll be back if I need appliance parts in the future!

Took the old burner out and inserted the new one. The burner was received two days after ordering. I was very satisfied with the service.

Searched the internet for the replacement part, placed the order and then disconnected the old one and inserted the new burner prongs into the socket. Worked perfectly!!!

New electric stove was out of my price range. I ordered one electric burner and 3 drip bowls. looked at part select instructions and repaired 2 that didn't work. Now next month I'll order one more part to fire up the last burner. Also following their clear instructions and I'll have a full working electric stove for a little over 100.00 dollars, as opposed to a new one at over 900.00.Thank you for your help.

I had determined that the the burner itself was no longer capable of connecting because when I removed another burner and inserted it, it worked just fine. Also, the defective burner had not worked when inserted into another outlet. I was delighted to be able to purchase a replacement so quickly and easily on my own, without having to call a repair person or seek a retail outlet.

I had to use a small hammer and nail set (you could use a nail) to hammer out the stub of the broken rivet which had held on the old clip; this was the hardest part of the job. Attaching the new clip was easy, in part because my screwdriver is magnetized so would hang onto the itsy-bitsy screw. I'd put up with broken/missing clips for years--a decade?--and burners that slipped around; this was such an easy job, the parts and shipping was so inexpensive, and I'm so glad to have stable burners again that I wish I had done it years ago.

We read comments by other DIYers and then looked at the video on YouTube. Our range is old and the screw holding the clamp for the block was too tight to remove so we removed the block from the old clamp and left clamp intact. Turned the circuit breaker off. Cut the existing wires and wired the new block to them. Put the block back into the old clamp, put new surface burner in and good as new. My boyfriend and I did it together but I could have done it myself - it was that simple. Thanks PartSelect for quick delivery and excellent DIY info.

plugged it in to the spot where missing element was.
