RB734*J6 Hotpoint Range - Instructions

unplugged oven. removed oven racks.Disconnected old unit. Installed new unit. Very very simple

The bake element in my 17 year old GE free standing electric range became defective. This element has 2 terminals -- black (240V) and white (neutral). While removing the element from the range, a 2nd black wire was pulled out of the back of the oven. This wire had a bare terminal connection and apparently had been loose behind the oven shell for all these 17 years. Inspection of this wire showed it carried 115V. I wrapped this wire with electrical tape and reinserted it into the insulation behind the oven shell.

With great ease. Only thing I would have appreciated was knowing the size ofvthevrequired socket wrench. Otherwise it was easy and fun as the instructions were crystal clear.

popped the new one on!

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.

The bake element is very easy to replace. Turn off the circuit breaker to the stove. Two screws (1/4" socket needed, not screwdriver) come out to release the plate, then two more screws of the same size to unfasten the element to the stove wiring. Reverse the process to put the new one back in. I let my fourteen year old son do the whole thing. By the way, the photo of the element on the web site did not look like the element in my stove. I called customer support and was assured that it was the proper part. When it arrived, it did exactly match my element. The photo on the web site was incorrect. (Part number PS249466)

My husband removed the screws holding the element, disconnected the wires from the old element. He then reattached the wires to the new element, putting it back into place, tightened the screws, and we were cooking again. The shipping service was GREAT! I ordered the part on-line and it arrived next day! Thanks!

I removed the original element with socket set (two hex nuts). I removed the element and face plate, reversing the steps when installing the new element. It was simple.

Replaced old bake element with new one. 4 small screws/nuts. From order to fix was 3 days. My wife was impressed.

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.

Unplugged unit.
Removed two screws with nut driver.
Bake element easily disconnected.
Ordered part Tuesday night.
Received e-mail that part was shipped Wednesday.
Part arrived Thursday.
I installed part in minutes. Stove working again.
Anyone could do it.

I ordered the part on Sunday afternoon and it was delivered by noon on Tuesday. I couldn't be more pleased. The service was amazing and the price including shipping was very fair.
I need wheels for the rack in my dishwasher and I plan to order from partselect.com.
With the service I received, I'd recommend Parts Select to my family and friends.

I was able to slide the stove out from the wall, so it was easier to remove the back cover and disconnect the wiring in back rather than trying to reach into the oven. Then all I had to do was put in the new coil, reconnect the wires and slide the stove back into place.
