RB546*01 General Electric Range - Instructions

I located and removed 2 sets of hex-head screws under the front lip of the cooktop, then lifted the entire cooktop to access the burner controls. Removed the wires and taped them, and took out the old control after removing 2 phillips head screws. Installed replacement part easily. Only tricky part is that the various shaft adapters don't quite work with my knob. I'll fix it completely with a bit of epoxy and the adapters they sent.

it was hard to figure out the instructions from A switch to B switch to my switch. The first switch was no good the second one was good. prayer book didn't hurt.thank

This is twin oven range with controls at side of upper oven. Control panel was fastened with screws at top and bottom. Range has built-in hood at top which had to be disassembled to reach top screw. Once had access to top screw, eaisly removed control panel and replaced control. New control had identical connections as old control so only had to install it, break shaft to correct length, and use proper shaft adapter for knob. Remounted control panel and range worked perfectly. This would have been a very quick job except for having to deal with the built-in range hood.

Good directions

The original controls were different for the small burners and the large burners. The replacement part fits all. Before removing wires, pay attention to writing on new and old control and replace 1 at a time. The hardest part was being sure to cut the knob stem to the correct length. Control works well.

I unscrewed the screw that held the element in place and then took the hex head nuts holding the 3 wires off the old element. When taking the wires off, I had the new element next the old and put each on the same connection one at a time to make sure I replaced the wires in the same location they were on the old element. After connecting the 3 wires, I reattached the element to the range.

The repair went well and once again my stove that was installed back in 1968 is working perfectly. We will be buying another 6" burner and 2-8" so we have them when they begin to burn out. We looked everywhere for a replacement and was told they do not make them anymore, but we found it here. Thank you!

My husband was able to easily remove and replace the switch and know with-in 15 minutes.

The old eye was lifted up, hinge screw removed, and three screws removed from the eye that connected lines to it. Did just opposite for installation. Very easy. The hardest problem was finding an eye with three screw-type connections.

TURN POWER TO OVEN OFF AT POWER PANEL 1- Remove element: 2 screws ... cut wire at element because of burned area. 2- Crimp two new wire lug connectors onto wire and attach to new element with supplied screws. 3- Attach element to back of oven: 2 screws ... TURN POWER ON AGAIN AND TEST OVEN

(Turn off the Power) Pull stove out, remove the 2 screws that holds switch in place, remove one wire at a time and install on new switch. Slip switch in replace 2 screws. Snap off about 3/4 of the shaft cut down plastic insert for knob, install knob turn on power and it works.

The old burner was disconnected by unscrewing the wire connectors. The new burner was installed by reconnecting the same wire connectors although the white and red connectors had to be swapped to make the inner element go on when #2 or med switch is chosen.

I read parts select instructions and i was done in less than 30 minutes. Since 1988, this is the 1st. part that I had to replace. I now have parts select on my favorites list.

slid the range away from wall. disconnect power. removed back,compared switches and marked wires.installed new switch and wires.the adapter for the control knob was a problem it left the knob out futher than original i had to modify the plastic adapter and got it close enought! the most time spent was cleaning up the floor before putting the range back.

1.Shut off power to stove. 2. Lift up non-working burner. 3. Unscrew retaining screw that allows burner to tilt. 4. Lift burner out. 5. remove clips from ceramic holder. 6. Unscrew 3 screws holding element, write down which color is attached to which element, or label wires. 7. unpack new element, directions say to cut off and tip the leads with solder, but I re-used the old circle connectors. 8. Screw the wires back on the new element (using nutdriver) 9. place element in new ceramic holder provided, and clamp shut. 10. place element in stove top opening and screw in retaining screw (honestly I could not get this to work correctly, so I just left the element sitting in the hole). 11. Turn power back on. This could take as few as 5-10 minutes, but I allowed 1/2 hour for turning power on and off or moving the stove to unplug it.
