RF366BXVN2 Whirlpool Range - Instructions

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

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!

On Saturday night before Thanksgiving my Wife indicated the oven was not heating up. A quick continuity check of the element indicated the unit was burnt out. I got on line and found PartSelect, found the proper element and ordered it. On Wednesday the element arrived and I removed the oven racks, removed two screws and pulled out the element to access the terminals. disconnected the wires, reconnected the wires to the new element and reinstalled the screws. Entire time was less than 5 minutes.

Thanksgiving dinner was saved at a reasonable price.

Unscrewed the two screws that held the old element to the back wall of the overn. Pulled out to reveal the two wires and connectors. Disconnected the two wires and removed old element being careful not to let the two wires recede back into the wall of the overn. Took the new element and connected the two wires. Then screwed the two screws through the holes in the element into the back wall. Easier than I thought it would be.

Very easy, thanks for the great support

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.
