RK962G4K3 Hotpoint Range - Instructions

Replaced damaged element exercising the care suggested in repair comments by previous customers. Old unit had screws connecting the broiler element to the stove's electrical supply wires, which were difficult to remove due to old age. Just took a little extra care to ensure that supply wires were not damaged during disconnect and after reconnecting the new element the broiler tested OK. It is once again broiling steak to perfection

Took out the old and put in the new! Easy and inexpensive repair (especially because my husband did it!)

The removal- replacement problem basically involves the shortness of the connector wires to the terminals. Because the burner is close to the top there is little room to use a screwdriver. The old unit used metal screws. The new came with open threaded holes in the terminals with two threaded screws. Used a small 1/4" ratchet which worked OK, but had to carefully bend the ends of the terminals to allow me to lower the element to an angle that would all room for ratchet action. (All design engineers should first have to work in maintenance before going to drawing board!)

On Thanksgiving Day, we were making a pecan pie. The lower oven started to smoke and flame. We quickly turned off the oven, removed the pie, and noticed that half of the lower burner element had turned into cinders. I copied down the part number and serial number of the oven, went to Google, and found the replacement part that I needed. Once the oven had cooled down, I turned off the circuit braker for the oven and tried to remove the burned out heating element. The good news was that I could remove it with my SAE socket set. I then ordered the part on line, knowing with confidence that I could do the replacement myself.
The part arrived one day after I got the email that the part had shipped. That is great service!
I waited till the next day to do the repair since I needed to have the right tools lined up and I needed to wear clothes that might get dirty when working deep inside the oven. A flashlight and a socket set with a 1/4 inch drive were the main tools I needed to do the electrical connections and the oven connection. I also used a blunt putty knife to clean out some of the goo in the oven.
After the repair, I turned the circuit breaker back on and placed a separate oven thermometer into the oven for the first test. The oven worked just fine at 250, 350, and 450 degree settings. Wife is now happy!

Turned off power. Unscrewed two screws and pulled old element out of oven. Disconnected the two wires. Cleaned oven thoroughly, held new bake element with soft rag so as to not get fingerprints all over it. Wired new element and screwed it back into oven.

Baking sweet potatoes as I write, they will be delicious with my black-eyed peas and ham, a New Year's tradition in my neck of the woods.

First turned off the power to the oven then removed two screws holding element in place. Pulled it out a couple inches disconnected the two wires. Then connected two wires to the new element pushed it back into two place and reinstalled screws that hold element in place. Really easy about 15-20 minutes to complete

Cut the power off to the oven. Removed both of the racks in the oven. Removed the 2 screws that hold each element in place. Pulled the bake element out as far as it would go and unscrewed the two wires. Then did the same for the broil element. It has a guard to keep it from dropping down and I had to remove that. The broil element is a little more difficult to remove but i had read that in the previous users writeups. Overall it was a great experience from a price, delivery and installation process.

Easy repair. The toughest part was disconnecting the wiring from the old element. Once that was disconnected it went very well.

Took out old element with screw driver and replaced new element with screw driver, very simple.
We were so happy with the customer service, had the new element the very next morning. Thank you.

I removed the two screws that keep the element in place.Then I pull the element a little bit and disconnected the two wires and removed the old element. Then I reconnected the two wires on the new element then put the element back on position and put back the two screws that keep the element in place. Done.

Unscrewed the two screws holding the element to the back oven wall, then I was able to pull the element out. I then unsrewed the two screws holding the two wires to the element. Installation was the reverse. Pretty simple job.

Unscrewed the broken element from the back of the inside of the oven, then unscrewed the connected wires from the element and did the reverse with the new element. Viola.

Before touching anything, however, I made sure the oven was in the off position and also went to the house circuit breaker box and flipped OFF the appropriate circuit breaker(s). There were two - one for the element and another for the rest of the controls.

When everything was in place, I turned the power back on and turned on the oven and was cooking again. We had Prime Rib for Easter.

The replacement was straightforward, six screws. Instructions were provided with the part along with the necessary screws to fit the new element terminals.
Open the breaker, verify power is off, remove the old burner. Install the new burner and mounting bracket. Restore power and test. In and out in less then thirty minutes.

I (a woman) unplugged the stove, took out the screws, and unhooked the baking element. I then replaced the old screws with the newer ones, and made sure everything was nice and tight. I was a little nervous at first but everything turned out okay. I plugged the stove back up & the baking element was a bright orange and it works better than ever. The whole process took about 15-20 minutes.

No instructions provided, but not needed. Removed two screws holding element in place. Removed two screws connecting element to power wires. Installed new element using reverse process.
