RC5480W3 Hotpoint Range - Instructions

First I turned off the breaker to the oven,
then 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. I placed the new element in the oven, reconnected the wiring and replaced the two screws in the mounting bracket. I reset the breaker and turned the oven on to about 450 degrees for 30 minutes to burn off the new smell of the element. This job was very easy and I saved about $100 from paying a service to do it.

Your "virtual repairman" was fantastic. I would have purchased the wrong part without trhe diagnostic service. It said that 53% of the time the infinite switch was the problem. In my case it was 100%. Why I put up with this problem for 6 years I will never know.

Repair job was easy but longer than the 15 minutes that it said it would take.

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.

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. Then I replaced it with the new element that took only two days to arrive and that was without paying extra express shipping fees. It couldn't have been easier. I didn't even wait for my husband to come home and install it. I had an oven-baked meal ready when he got home. I was very satisfied.

First we unplugged stove, if wired into circuit shut off in breaker box. Undo four screws on back cover and detach wires from element. Remove oven door by pulling open and sliding it up off hinges. Undo two screws holding element to back wall of oven. Slide in new element and replace screws in back wall. Replace door. Slide wire leads on new element in back, at this point we plugged range in and tested element to see if heating. It worked so we replaced cover, slide range in and leveled it with wedges. Time for pizza.

The repair is simple. Unplug or turn off power to stove. Remove the 2 visible screw where the element connects to the back of the oven. Pull the element with back plate out. The back plate is part of the element. Remove 2 screws that connect wire. Mark which color connects to which lead. Re-assemble in reverse order. Takes about 15 minutes,

Removed old element from back of oven with closed wrench and removed wires from element with screwdriver. Took me longer to find screwdriver than to install part. Finding part and ordering it was a snap. Got part in day and half. Great service and price. This is the place for parts and instructions. Will definitly use it again. My wife thinks I'm a genious. Thanks PARTSELECT.

My son used a screw driver and needle nose pliers to remove the old element. He then slide the new element on, put the screws in and he was done.

This was a simple repair. Be sure to turn breaker to stove off before you start. Then remove two small screws holding element to back of stove, pull out element and disconnect two wires and remove. Reverse the steps for installation.Very simple

It would have gone with ease but the screws holding the element to the conductors were not original. Once those were removed, we were able to use the screws included and were done in 5 minutes.

Totally pleased! I ordered the part Monday evening, and it was delivered Wednesday morning. Awesome! Was able to change the part in about 15 minutes. Thanksgiving was a success! Part Select saved my Thanksgiving! Highly recommend :) Thank you!

Followed directions left by a previous user on PartSelect: 1. open oven door and lifted it off hinges; 2. Unscrewed mounting element mounting plate from rear of oven (may need nutdriver, allen wrench or screwdriver) 3. Unscrewed electrical leads from element; replaced with new element and reversed the steps.

Removed bolts from fixing plate, pulled out existing element, unscrewed wire connectors and installed new element in reverse order of removal. This is an old stove from the 60's or 70's so I was glad to get a replacement part and fit it myself so easily.

I first looked at a video PartSelect had done on replacing the bake element in a stove. I disconnected the stove's power plug from the wall, removed the baking shelves, and removed screws holding the cover plate for the old bake element with a nutdriver. I removed the two screws holding the power wires to the bake element and replaced the bake element with the new element purchased from PartSelect. The cover plate was repositioned by using the nutdrive to tighten the cover plate screws. After reinstalling the bake shelves and plugging the oven back in, the repair was finished.

I have some electrical experience. It was simple to remove and install. You just have to pay attention to wiring upon removal and installation.
