RB788*T1 Hotpoint Range - Instructions

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.

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.

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.

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.

Removed 2 screws that hold the element in place. I then pulled the element out 3-4 inches and noticed 3 wires attached. (had expected 2). Disconeccted the 3 wires and renoved old element.. Reversed process with new element, and reattached wires as I found them. Inserted element and inserted holding screws for new element. Ran through self-cleaning cycle. Works great. A written warning about the wires in the box would have been comforting.

Repair was super easy - read the other stories posted. They give more than adequate instruction.

Amazingly helpful website. Found the part, instructions to install, and able to order in less than 20 minutes!

I first turn off the 220 power braker to the electric stove. Making sure the stove and element is very cool.

I then removed the two screws that hold the lower baking element in place. Pull gently on the element not to break the wires from the wall of the stove (about 3 to 4 inches).

I than unscrewed the right and left wire attached to the element with the nut driver. (This old element was attached with small nut screws. The new one has screws that use a screw driver). Keeping the wires apart, I removed the old element and replace it with the new element part.

In replacing the new element, facing the stove I connected the black wires to the left side (my left hand) and the white wire to the right side (my right hand) with the new screws using a screw driver. REMEMBER TO REPLACE THE WIRES BACK THE WAY THEY CAME OFF WHEN THE STOVE WAS WORKING PROPERTLY. Attach the element back to the stove and turn the breaker on. Easy to do job.

removed 2 screws that hold the element in place, then pulled element out took 2 more screws out and reversed proc. I couldn't have had a better rep to help me find the right part. Thank you

I had a friend of mine who came to my home equipped with screwdrivers and flashlight. After turning off the electricity at the fuse box he removed the oven door (for easier access),removed the screws,pulled out the existing element far enough to disconnect the wires, placed the new one into place, connected the wires, screwed the new one into place
turned the power back on, turned on the oven and after about 15 seconds, the element began to turn from a dark gray to a light color beginning to turn orange.

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)

Removed old element by unbolting two nuts, replaced with new element and two new nuts that were included. Very easy and worked fine.Wish all repair jobs were this easy!Great service with ordering and prompt delivery, too.

Took out the two screws that held the old element. Disconnected (unscrewed) the two power cords. Screwed in new power cords and put two screws in new element. Works like a charm. Took longer to get the new element out of the box than to replace it! Thank you!!!

Wasn't sure what to do had a friend come over and it was fixed in less than 15 min. The shipment was really fast and although I only had a partial model number because of age of the unit your search engine found it. Thanks all, my wife is very happy. Your the best!

Shut electric off to range[circuit breaker], removed door and baking racks, removed two screws holding element to back of the oven compartment, pulled the element out to expose the wires, removed screws fastening the wires to the element. Discarded the damaged element and installed the new one in the reverse order. Turned on power and tested. Everything worked fine.
