RC547*01 Hotpoint Range - Instructions

Took off oven door, removed screws, disconnected wires took out damaged part. Reversed the order. Job complete!

Turned off breaker for oven, removed baking (lower) element, searched website to match up size, shape, and connector-type of replacement part. Placed order and received two days later. Mounted new part in 10 minutes, turned on breaker, and immediately baked fries for children. No problem. Much cheaper and easier than replacing entire built-in oven.

Turned the power off. Loosened two screws to take the element out. Loosened two more srews to disconnect the element itself from the power. This job was easy squeezy. Within 15 minutes flat I was back on the couch watching old Seinfeld reruns. Two thumbs up for the peeps at Part Select.

Shut off breaker to oven. Removed two screws holding the element. Removed two wires attached. Cut back old wires and crimped on two new eyelet terminals. Screwed wires onto element and reattached. Turned breaker on and tested. Works great. Any girl can do it.

removed two screws with nutdriver, removed two screws attatched to element. reversed procedure. this took less than 15 minutes. "remember to turn turn off power" Jeff

This was a second hand stove we have had for about 3-yrs. I noticed immediatley that the drip bowls and rings were not OEM parts & the bottom of the burners had actually been bent to fit the rings. I was very glad to find this website with a detailed diagram of the stove and parts. I intend to replace all the burners, drip bowl & rings, and then start replacing other parts as needed.

replace old one with new one thank you.

Replaced 30 year old stovetop cooking element with no problems. Stovetop works great now.

Attached the screws and was done. Unbelievable! Ordered the part at 10 am and was delivered at 11 am next day. Great shipping!

Undid two screws to pull the element out, and another two to unhook it from the wires. Reverse procedure with the new element and baked some muffins. The hardest part about this repair was getting the part. I typo'd my shipping address and had to knock on a neighbor's door!

Turned off the breaker to the range. Turned on range to ensure no electricity was currently flowing to the range. Turned the range off and unscrewed the tilt lock hinge. Pulled the burner out to expose the wires. Popped the snap locks off the cover box and unscrewed the wires connected to the posts. Followed recommend directions to expose approx. 1/2" of new wire (this is what I used the knife for since I did not have a wire stripper available). Slightly cut thumb in the process (no blood, though). Removed old burner. Put new burner in place, re-attached wires to the posts and screwed in to place. Placed cover box back in place and secured using new snap locks. Attached tilt lock hinge using new screw that was provided. Turned breaker back on and turned on range. new burner worked great. Took about 20 minutes total. Wife was extremely impressed, mostly that I didn't electrocute myself. She now wants me to replace other three burners. No good deed goes unpunished.

removed the old element, inserted the new one.

First, I turned off the power at the breaker box. Then, I removed the 2 screws attaching the bake element to the back wall of the oven. Next, I pulled the element out a few inches and removed the screws holding the element to the wires at the rear of the oven. Finally, I reattached the new element to the wires with the screws and then reattached the element plate to the rear wall of the oven. I turned the power back on at the breaker box, and tried the new element. It worked! Also, shipping was real fast, like 2 days from the time I placed the order to receiving the element.

The repair was easy once he read the directions. The part arrived about 4 days earlier than expected. Great company.

It would have been easy, but the screws that came with the replacement burner were too long for the ceramic insulator to fit over. Had to grind down the screws fro 3/8" long to 1/4" long. After that, piece of cake.
