RC548*T1 Hotpoint Range - Instructions

Four screws and two wires.

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 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.

Simply removed the old part and istalled the new one with 2 nuts and 2 screws. It helps to know what the problem is. That comes with life experience.

Went on line to find the part number and ordered the part. It came in the mail two days later and I installed in about five minutes.

Very easy to replace. Oven works like new again. If you have even the most basic visual and mechanical ability, you will be fine to do this on your own. Total repair time for me was less than 5 minutes. The part was an exact fit!

Took the old one out, measured it, ordered the appropriate size, intalled the new one.

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.
