RC658*T2 General Electric Range - Instructions

First of all I did this repair because the wire to the burner shorted out. I did the wire portion first - only then did I know I needed the switch kit. (The burner was operating while my old swithch was OFF). The first (wire replacement) repair took about 10 minutes - I followed the guidance on this web-site. The second repair (The switch) took about 20 minutes. The switch ws not the same as the original. Just be careful to mark each wire as you remove them from the old switch's posts. The posts on the switch are marked and you need to place them on the like-marked corresponding posts on the new switch. All is well, my burner is operational.

Open oven door about 3 inches - then holding on the door on either side - pull up and door slides off - put it aside - this is to make it easy for you to work inside oven compartment - at rear of oven where the element goes into the back wall - there are two nuts to remove - I did not have a nut drive so used a pliers (GE could have put slots in the nuts so one would just need a screwdriver) - pull element forward - there are wires attached to the 2 ends of the element - remove with screw driver - element is off - get new part from PartSelect -(and must say pleased with their service) - and reverse above procedure.

1. The infinite switch had several knobs which would fit the switch shaft. Read the directions included with the switch in order to have the shaft fit the proper knob. You can break the shaft with two pairs of pliers. 2. Move the stove away from the wall and unplug it. 3. Remove the 1/4 screws from the back side of the stove and remove the back panel, exposing the switch. 4. Remove the wires one at a time and put them on the new switch. The terminals are L1, L2, P, H1 & H2. The Pilot (p) has a smaller terminal so you don't get it mixed up. Generally L1 is black, L1 is red, P is yellow, H1 and H2 can be blue, brown, yellow, orange or one of these colors striped on a white wire. 5. Remove the old switch from the stove and be sure to save the two mounting screws. 6. Position the new switch so that the side of the switch marked "top" is on top. 7. Install the screws on the new switch and put the knob on it. 8. Carefully test the burner. 9. Unplug the stove and put the back cover on.

My sons helped with that. They had to use a pliers to remove the old screws (did not have to notches). After that they they removed the element. Then the wires had to be disconnected (after we unplug the oven from the main power source. Then the wires were connected to the new heating unit. We only got one screw in so far will work on getting the second one in when they return tomorrow. I did turn on the oven and it works!!!

Thank you to the nice young man that helped me on the phone.

First I removed the 2 screws holding the element in place then pulled the element out a few inches.
I removed the 2 screws that connected the wires to the element and removed old element from oven. The new element was placed in the oven and connected by reversing the steps just described. New element works perfectly!

First I turned the power off to the oven at the breaker box. Then I removed the nuts holding the element to the rear wall of the oven and pulled it out a couple of inches. I saw that only 2 nuts held the element to the wires. I found the part on your site very easily and placed my order. The part was at my door 2 days later! I removed the old element, replaced the new element and turned the breakers back on. Repair complete!

First I removed the two screws that hold the element in place. I then pulled the element out about 3 inches and disconnected the two wires...removed the baking element and put the new element back in the same way I took the old one out. It was great directions that was posted and easy to do. Best of all I saved the price of a service call. Thank you

First I turned off the power to the stove,removed oven racks,removed the two screws that held the element in place,pulled unit out a couple inches ,removed the two screws that held the wires in place ,removed element.
Placed new unit where old one went and placed wires in proper order and put together and placed back . turned power back on and WALAA......nothing......apparently that wasnt the problem....Husband baught me a new stove,after 35 years why not.

The new element arrived in just 2 days with normal postage. I followed the simple instructions and was cooking 15 minutes later. It couldn't have been easier. Thanks.

The bake element is very easy to replace. Turn off the circuit breaker to the stove. Two screws (1/4" socket needed, not screwdriver) come out to release the plate, then two more screws of the same size to unfasten the element to the stove wiring. Reverse the process to put the new one back in. I let my fourteen year old son do the whole thing. By the way, the photo of the element on the web site did not look like the element in my stove. I called customer support and was assured that it was the proper part. When it arrived, it did exactly match my element. The photo on the web site was incorrect. (Part number PS249466)

Removed the bracket holding the element, slid out the element, disconnected it from the leads, replaced it with your part and reassembed. Oven now works like new.

It only took 15 minutes and a nut driver to replace.The part was $22,well worth keeping my oven going for a few more yaers

I noticed two screws held the heating element in place. I removed the screws. Pulled the heating element out a few inches. Removed the two additional screws which held the two wires on.

To install the new element, I used the two new screws that came with the element to attach the wires to the element. Insert the element into position and attached the element to the rear wall with the two screws which were first removed.

turned off the electric at the breaker box.
removed the door, and racks. unscrewed two bolts, pulled out and unscrewed the leads. reattached the leads, and pushed in and reattached the element.
put the racks and door back on. turned on the electric and then tested the oven. easy!!

My daughter and I turned off the breaker to the range and removed the old element and replaced it with the new one. My husband came home and took over after we had done almost everything ourselves!!
