RDE6300C2 Whirlpool Range - Instructions

We read comments by other DIYers and then looked at the video on YouTube. Our range is old and the screw holding the clamp for the block was too tight to remove so we removed the block from the old clamp and left clamp intact. Turned the circuit breaker off. Cut the existing wires and wired the new block to them. Put the block back into the old clamp, put new surface burner in and good as new. My boyfriend and I did it together but I could have done it myself - it was that simple. Thanks PartSelect for quick delivery and excellent DIY info.

Unscrewed screw holding bracket. Used side cutters to cut wires. Replaced the bracket, put the shrink wrap on wires, twisted wires together and held with wire caps. Shrunk the wrap with lighter. I'm a 67 year old female.. No problems.

The bake element died after 20+ years. Turn off the power at the breaker panel. A Phillips head screw holds a plate over each side of the bake element. After unscrewing the plate, you will notice an electric lead attached to a female clip slips onto the end of each side of the element. BE CAREFUL not to lose the clip(s) in the insulation after taking off the male end of the old element! I used a clothes pin to keep the clip from slipping away. If the clip slips away you'll have to fish it out of the back of the oven and that means pulling the oven out of the wall. Sound like fun? I thought not. Take the opportunity to clean your oven also. That was the hardest part. Clip the end of the new element to each of the clips, right and left side, replace the plate and screw in the Phillips head screw. Turn back on the power in the breaker panel. Voila! Done!

Had to screw off old terminal block & screw on new one

I noticed that one of the burner blocks was completely burned and the others were corroded. I ordered blocks for all four burners. Installation was easy except for one block. The screw holding the bracket to the range top was completely corroded in place. I used a correct size easy-out, which is a left hand tap and drill, to remove the screw. That took about five minutes, including tracking the easy-out down in one of my many toolboxes. The entire replacement of four blocks took about one and a half hours. Stove top cooks like new on all burners! The part kit had all the right parts and they fit like a glove!

After turning off circuit breaker to the stove, I removed all surface units , removed the 4 screws holding the top and lifted up. The plug in was burned out (the wire was burned). Look at the old plug-in so as to be able to match the new one and insert the pre- crimped end of wires into the block and the block into the metal holder that matches your old one. (The kit comes with 2 different metal holders)After this, cut out the old wires and wire nut the new wires with the stove wires. Put shrink wrap protector on the wire nuts and heat to shrink it tight.attach the block to the stove top and wa la its done. Very easy.
