RF366BXVN1 Whirlpool Range - Instructions

Funny, I suppose. We decided to buy a new stove given the old age of the old one. Problem is, on delivery day it wasn't delivered and we discovered that there wasn't even one in the warehouse. At that point we got ticked and decided to look into the problem. The website led us right to the problem. We ordered, the part arrived the next day and the replacement was simple. Just unscrew the holder inside the over, unplug the old element and plug in the new. I needed needle nose pliers because one of the wires slipped behind the insulation. We also bought a thermometer and found that the calabration was right on the money. Happy campers... we saved $400.

Found breaker box and shut off power to stove, Check to make sure you turned the right breaker off before you attempt to put you hands in it, also make sure all the switches on the stove are in the off position . Open Oven Door, I used a Phillip screw driver to remove the two screws holding the Bake element in place . pull out to reach wire connections and gently pull connectors from element. Remove the old Bake element and Install the New one,by reversing process in removing the old one. after you have it back in place turn breaker back on at breaker box turn oven control to Bake setting, turn Oven Temperature control to around 200 degrees and Element should began to glow bright orange, job complete, it's that easy!~

Turned off electric to oven by shutting circuit breaker.Opened oven door, took out baking racks,loosened bolts from rear of oven holding element and plate . Disengaged element with plate from wires at rear of oven. Attached new element to clips on wires, rescrewed element plate back to rear wall. replaced racks and turned on circuit breaker. DONE!
Thanks for the quick service ordered one day, next day delivery, never missed a meal or dessert.

I got online, and "Googled" bake element and Whirlpool (model #), and selected PartSelect by chance. The website had a diagram of my oven with parts and it was easy to select the right part. I paid extra to have it shipped overnight and it arrived the next day. I removed two screws, disconnected the old element, and replaced it with the new element. It worked!! I think I saved a lot of money by doing the repair myself. (I am a 66 yearl old woman and will choose PartSelect by choice for future appliance repairs.)

unscrew and then unplug old element, then pug in and screw new element. Done

turned power off Unscrewed 2 screws pulled old element out slightly . disconected wires . connected wires to new element tightened 2 screws turned power back on baked a pie. took longer to type this

Backed out two screws, disconnected two wires from faulty element, connected wires to new element, screwed back into place. (New element was ordered by phone and received the next day.)

Turn off the oven's breaker. Remove oven grates. Unscrew two screws holding in the bake element. Slowly pull the bake element out a few inches. Using pliers, CAREFULLY unattach the connectors from the ends of the bake element. DO NOT FORCE OR CRUSH THE CONNECTORS. Using your hands only, attach the connectors to the ends of the new bake element. Re-insert the element into the back of the oven. Re-insert the screws to attach the new element to the back of the oven. Turn the breaker back on. Turn the oven on bake to test the element. Go have a beer to congratulate yourself on saving $75 or more. Should take about 10 minutes if you're proceeding slowly & carefully. It'll take 2 minutes if you're reckless and get lucky, but it'll take 2+ hours if you're reckless and all goes wrong, causing you screw up the connectors and need to go buy some plus crimpers, etc.

Used screwdriver to unfasten the old element from the oven frame. Then unplugged the two wire plugs from the back of the old element. Reversed the process to install the new. Couldn't have been any simpler.

First I made sure it was in fact the lower bake element that was broken. I turned the oven on & noted the element did not glow red. I also used a laser thermometer to verify the element was at "room temperature" for the room it was in (the oven - about 200 degrees, given what the upper bake element was contributing.)
And close visual inspection showed that a section of te bake element had melted thru where something had recently spilled onto it.
Swapping it out was easy - turn off the electrical breaker controlling the oven, unscrew the bake element, disconnect the electrical contacts to it (which required pliers, since they had been on a Looong time, and a little care to not use the pliers too hard & thus break the wires or contacts), then reverse the process to install the new element.

It works great now.

My husband undid the screws of the element. I went to Home Depot and they said I had to order in online. I could not find the part of the Home Depot website, so I googled the part and your business was easy to locate and order the part. It arrived in two days and I, the wife, was able to rescrew the element into place and, voila, the oven was functional again.

Well it was quite simple to replace all I used was a long Phillips screw driver,the job only took me 10 minutes to complete,thank you so much for the part you sent me it was the correct part.

Pulled old one out, installed new one with a twist of the screw driver. Easy!!!

I removed the two screws for the bake element, diconnected the two wires attached to the bake element. I then reattached the wires to the new bake element, secured it with the two screws and I was done. It took five minutes and the oven works like new.

Unscrewed two screws, pulled the element out of the socket, pushed in replacement element, screwed in the two screws--done!
