RM278BXV2 Whirlpool Microwave Oven Combo - Instructions

I order the part on 7/29 and much to my surprise, it arrived the very next day. It took less than 15 minutes to remove the old element and installed the new one. It was a little difficult to unplug the old one and took quite a bit of pulling but it came out okay. Plugging in the new one and screwing on the cover plate was easy.

Well it was quite simple to replace all I used was a long Phillips screw driver,the job only took me 10 minutes to complete,thank you so much for the part you sent me it was the correct part.

My husband took the plastic cover off and took out old bulb and screwed in the new one. Then put the cover back on.

I took out 2 screws and installed new element! It took 5 mins.

removed two screws applied new part replaced two screws

removed old bake element (remove two screws, disconnect two wires. install new element connect wires, replace screws to hold in place. turn on oven to be sure it works.

It was so easy. I removed the baking racks. Then I unscrewed two Philips head screws that held the rack in place. Then I pulled the two connections apart from the wiring. Plugged the new element into the wiring. It was as simple as sliding it in and out, replaced the screws, and within minutes I was back to baking again.

unplugged oven unscrewed old element replaced with new one plugged in oven it only took 2 days to get new element saved time and gas

The repair was simple. Two screws and it popped in. The part arrived quicker then expected. Done in no time.

FIrst of all I would like to say I was amazed at the quick service we received. I ordered the part at 1:00 pm on a Tuesday and my husband called me at 4:30 on Wednesday that the part had been delivered!! I was amazed.

My husband actually installed the bake element and it only took him a few minutes, the hardest part according to him was actually seperating the prongs of the old piece from the conncetion. Being that our oven is 24 years old could have something to do with that. Everything works just fine.

I am very glad to have found your company on the Web and have told everyone I know about your service.

First I removed the two screws, then I pulled old element out, placed the new element in. Returned the screws in place. Very easy, cheaper to get online than anywhere else and was faster to get the part than anywhere else.

Made sure that "Breaker" for oven is in the off positon.

Opened oven door to the first "stay open" position...lifted door straight up...and off of the hinges....which removes the door....and allows easier access to oven.

Removed oven racks

Removed two philips head

Pulled burned out element toward the front of the oven.....exposing the two connector wires.

Used pliers to pull wire connectors from burner element connectors.

Reversed the order of this process....to install new element.

I got online, and "Googled" bake element and Whirlpool (model #), and selected PartSelect by chance. The website had a diagram of my oven with parts and it was easy to select the right part. I paid extra to have it shipped overnight and it arrived the next day. I removed two screws, disconnected the old element, and replaced it with the new element. It worked!! I think I saved a lot of money by doing the repair myself. (I am a 66 yearl old woman and will choose PartSelect by choice for future appliance repairs.)
