RK38G3J3 Hotpoint Range - Instructions

The hardest part was working in the oven.

Turn off power
Open Oven Door, remove racks
Remove two mounting screws with nut driver.
Slide the element out to expose the wire connections.
Remove the screws and pull the element out.
Place the new element in oven.
Clamp on to each of the terminals with vice grips to keep from bending the element and install the screws.
Slide the element back into place and put the two mounting screws back in.

Put the racks back in and turn on the power and test. You may get a little smoke off the new coil.

Like I said the hardest part is leaning into the oven to attach the screws, do not sit on the oven door.

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.

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

My 17 year old son and I (his mom) replaced the oven element in less than 15 minutes!!! It was so easy. We first unplugged the stove since I didn't want to go and shut off the circuit breaker in the dark!! We then removed the two screws that hold the element in place and started to pulled out the element. It was actually corroding in my hands as I pulled it out. We disconnected the wires and then put in the new element by reconnecting the wires, pushing the connections back in and replacing the two screws that hold the element in. The oven heated right up!!! What a savings to do it yourself and not have a repairman charge us extra to do a 10 minute job!! Thank you Part Select for your fast service. I will definitely look here before I shop anywhere else. Thanks,

Four screws and two wires.

Could not believe how fast the part shipped. 2 days and it was here. All it took was using a nut driver to remove 4 screws and then put the new one in.

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.

every thing went just fine. A simple job at best.

What went better was the prompt service.

Thanks

Turned the wire protector to the side. Turned out the old bulb and replaced it with the new. Turned the wire protector back in place and I'm like new.

The new element arrived in just 2 days with normal postage. I followed the simple instructions and was cooking 15 minutes later. It couldn't have been easier. Thanks.

Removed the bracket holding the element, slid out the element, disconnected it from the leads, replaced it with your part and reassembed. Oven now works like new.

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!!

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, and reconnected the two wires back with the new screws. Reinstalled the element by reassemblyinig the two screws holding it in place.

Ordered the part online, received it in a coupledays and my son-in-law installed it in a flash. The cost was very reasonable also. The whole experience was a snap. Thanks so much!
