RK38*K5 Hotpoint Range - Instructions

Element was easy to remove two screws and unplug it. New element didn't have the same prongs and brace was different. Added ends to plug with screws supplied drilled new holes in oven back for brace. Works fine for a repair by a 65 year old woman.

First off the part was easy to find on Partselect...

Second point... ordering was easy and shippment was fast thanks to Partselect...

Replacezment was fairly easy useing a Nut driver and a pair of pliers...took about 40 minutes.

Thank you Partselect...

Simple replacement. Price for replacement was excellent. Cheaper than any replacement I priced locally and arrived the day after I ordered.


Thanks!

Unscrewed the two screws that held it in place; disconnected the old; connected the new; replaced the screws. DONE.

Remove the 2 screws, pull out the backing element. remove the 2 screws and replace the element....pay attention to what wire go where.

Actually you are right, I removed the two screw pulled the element out , disconnected the two wires holding the old element and put the new one on. I spent more time finding out whether or not it would be safe to work on it, being on my own for the first time and always had someone do it for me. I was told as long as the oven was not on it was safe and so I went to work. I was also very impressed at the short time it took to get the part. Three days!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Shut off power, Removed and disconnected element, connected and mounted new element!

I made sure the power was off. I removed two screws from the mounting plate, then I pulled the heating element forward two inches. Where the wires were attached by two screws, I removed those screws also; the heating element was freed up. I then removed it and replaced the 28 year old heating element with a brand new one.

This job was easy. I removed two screws to release the element from the back of the oven, two more screws to release the electrical connection, connected the new element with the new screws provided and reattaced the heating element to the back of the over. It took two tries to get the element so that is sat level at the bottom of the oven. Ten minutes later, I was making dinner!

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!

Unplugged oven, removed 2 screws that hold the element in place. Pulled element to expose wires. Disconnected wires & removed old element. Reversed removal for installation, plugged in and worked great.

First, I turned off the circuit breaker. Then I removed the two screws on the hinged plate that attaches the element to the back wall of the oven. Then pulled out the two wires attached to the element by screws. I detached the old element and reversed the sequence to install the new element. Very simple operation for the average homeowner.

Two screws to remove the element and two screws for the wire connectors and it was done.

1) turned off breaker to oven
2) removed oven racks
3) removed screws holding old element
4) pulled out element far enough to remove 2 wires attached to old element
5) noted colors, left white, right black
6) attached new element to wires
7) attached new element to oven
8) put back oven racks
9) turn breaker back on
10) test oven
done
EASY!!
