RB658*A3 Hotpoint Range - Instructions

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


Thanks!

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!

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...

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

.....then tested for voltage, had it. Ordered the element through partselect.com and it came in the mail THE NEXT DAY! No kidding! Installed it and the wife is back to her good cooking. All is well, thanks partselect.com. John R., Pompano Beach, Florida

Removed the two screws which held the element in place. Then I pulled the element out about 2-3 inches and disconnected the two wires. Of course I turned off the breaker which fed the range. This had been done earlier so that wife could throughly clean the oven while the element was out of the way, When the new element arrived, we put it into the oven, reconnected the wires to the lugs on the element, pushed it back into the hole, pushed the insulation which protruded back into the hole, and replaced the two screws which held the back plate in place. Turned the breaker back on and turned oven on to test the repair job. Everything worked AOK.

CAUTION: Make sure stove is unplugged as there is still current with it off! Removed 2 screws to pull old element out & 2 screws on electrical wires. Put new element in & screwed all screws, very easy repair. A big THANK-YOU to PartSelect for getting the part to us so fast!!

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.

Unplugged oven. Removed the two screws from inside the oven that secured element to the back. I then removed the protective cover for the plug from behind the oven-three screws. Disconnected the element from the electrical wires, removed and replaced the element. And reassembled the cover and all the screws in reverse order. Plugged it in. Presto, 5 mins and works great.

The old part was easily removed with a nut driver, and the new element went right in with a nut driver and screwdriver.

DISCONNECT POWER !!!! Removed 2 screws to get element loose from rear wall of oven and 2 srews to remove wires. Reverse for installation. The replacement part fit perfectly and works just fine.

I removed the old element after turning off the breaker to the oven. Remove the two screws that hold it to the back wall of the oven, slid it towards me exposing the wire connection. Removed the screws from the wires and removed the old element. Cleaned the oven and installed the new element by reversing the steps I just talked about. Quick and easy, oven has never worked better.

All other reviews decribed the repare process that I used with no problems. The only reason I took about twenty minutes instead of around 15 minutes was it took me a few minutes to get the correct socket to remove the two small lag screws of the old bake element to free it from the oven wall. I did not have to remove the oven door as it was not a problem in reaching the back of the oven. My range is 25 years old.
