RB731*04 Hotpoint Range - Instructions

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)

Unpluged Stove, Unscrewed the wires attached to the Element in the back of stove after I removed the cover. Removed the two screws that held the Element at the back of the oven compartment. Then replaced the Element with the new one and put back the screws, the wires and the cover in the same sequence iI took it apart. Plugged it back in works like new!

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.

I noticed two screws held the heating element in place. I removed the screws. Pulled the heating element out a few inches. Removed the two additional screws which held the two wires on.

To install the new element, I used the two new screws that came with the element to attach the wires to the element. Insert the element into position and attached the element to the rear wall with the two screws which were first removed.

turned off the electric at the breaker box.
removed the door, and racks. unscrewed two bolts, pulled out and unscrewed the leads. reattached the leads, and pushed in and reattached the element.
put the racks and door back on. turned on the electric and then tested the oven. easy!!

It only took 15 minutes and a nut driver to replace.The part was $22,well worth keeping my oven going for a few more yaers

Unscrewed the plate and unplugged the old element and plugged the new one in, screwed the plate back on. Done.

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,

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.

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.

Firstly a big thanks to Parts Select.com I order the part on a Monday and it was delivered on the Wednesday of the same week!

Firstly I pulled the stove out of the space between the counter tops. Next I unplugged the stove. I opened the oven door unscrewed the two screws holding the element onto the back of the oven. Next I unscrewed the two screws that fastened the wires onto the two ends of the element. The element was then able to be removed from the oven. I then fitted the new element by repeating the same procedures to take the element out. The whole process took me less than 15 minutes.

fairly easy. Only four screws. The only problem was reaching the back of the oven without hurting my back and being careful not to over tighten the wires to the new burner ends. I wish all repair were as easy.
