RB262PXAB5 Whirlpool Range - Instructions

Flipped off breaker and removed oven door and pulled built in stove out so the back panel could be removed. Unplugged the sensor then removed the two screws securing the old sensor inside the oven and installed new sensor. Put stove back together and installed back into counter top, re-installed oven door, flipped on the breaker and oven works like new.

After trying to set the bake temp after the self cleaning, it would not heat up. I Googled the model number,selected your link because it mentioned my symptom,and said usually it is the temp sensor in the oven that gets damaged by the high self cleaning heat. Your site had a place to enter my model number. You provided a great exploded view of the parts, showing me my sensor,then you provided the part number of the kit i needed,and filled out the order form with payment method. Less than a week later I got my part with instructions. Your video showed me the two screws I remove from the front ,and I pulled the old part out and uplugged it's connector. Replacement was easy, and oven was fixed! Thank you for a great site! You held my hand through it all!

A web search led me to Parts Select. Two days later my bake element was installed and my oven was again in bake mode.I'm a 75 yr. old grandmother and installed it myself so that should tell one how easy it is.

Removed the oven from the wall. Removed back cover and unplugged sensor from the harness. Remove and replace sensor from inside the oven. Reconnect harness and reinstall back cover. Secure oven back into the wall.

replaced light socket but did not repair problem. must have burned the motherboard.


pleased with service from your company.

Removed screws on each end of element, pulled off spade connectors, did everything in reverse for new element.

The only notable fact was that the old element was hot, as in carrying AC current, despite the stove being off and it being broken, and I found out the usual way.

1. Unscrewed glass cover on bulb
2. Removed old bulb
3. Screwed in new bulb
4. Replaced glass cover
5. Mixed drink & baked cupcakes

The hardest part was taking out original light bulb because screws on shield where hard to unscrew after all this years . The old bulb vent out leaving neck in socket. It took narrow electrical pliers to get neck out .The generic appliance bulb did not fit and had aluminum neck ,not recommended for brass sockets in ovens.Putting new light bulb in was not the problem.

First off, because of weather delays, it took FedEx 8 days to deliver part, finally had to drive 3 miles out our road to meet driver.
The connectors were females on the new part as were the connectors in the range. Had to cut off oven connectors and replace with males. Fortunately, I had the connectors (not supplied) and knew how to attach them.

After removing two screws, I pulled the bake element free from the oven's female electrical connections---only to find the new element had female connectors, too. Nevertheless, I cut the male connectors off the old bake element and used them as a splice (of sorts). Then installing the new bake element was a piece of cake, which I can make now thanks to PartSelect.com.

I ordered the only part that looked like it would fit. 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. But the new replacement had the wrong ends to fit right. I was going to email you back to see if there were other options for me, when a friend came by and said he would just replace the oven connecting ends and then it would work. Luckily he had extra little ends at home, came over and replaced the ends, cutting the old ones off of the oven side. He wire stripped the wire, attached the new ends and crimped and then reattatched the whole heating element. Without his know-how, I would have had to have a repair man come and do the same thing for me, or go buy a new stove.....but it is simple when you know how!! It would have been helpful to me, to have the description of the ends of the new element I was buying..... whether it was male or female... but it is fixed now, thanks to my friend. A steak dinner was cheaper than a repair man!!!!

Took four screws out, pulled old one out and disconnected two wires and waited for new part to be delivered. installed part in one minute. I had the same thing happen 5 years ago and the repair person charged me $150. This time it cost me $40 .

I followed the instructions that were posted on the web site for the replacement of the element. I found everything exactly as described in the procedure. I disconnected the two screws that held the old element, removed the old element, inserted the new element and replaced the screws. I turned the oven control on and the element heated up. Everything has been working just fine.

First I remove th screw that held the element in place then I pulled the element out and disconnect the wires. Then I replace the new element, I connected the wires back then I put the screws to hold the element.

Removed two screws, unplugged the old unit, plugged in the new, screwed the new in. Job done. Would have been less than five minutes if I hadn't kept dropping the screws.
