RB524*R3 Hotpoint Range - Instructions

My GE range is 20 years old, and still going strong. All I needed was to replace the 6" surface unit. After making slight adjustments, it was just a matter of placing the new unit. After finding this Co. on the internet, and checking others, I will certainly order from Part Select again!Dorothy Trakshel

replaced the part.

Just re-connected the electrical. Was the exact/correct replacement part. Repair successful. Thanks.

Turn off the circuit breaker that supplies electrical current to oven and remove oven door. Using socket wrench, remove back plate that holds the element in place. Then, gently pull out element from back wall until prongs and the two wires are visible. Remove screws holding prongs to the wires and discard the old element. Using the screws that came with the new part, secure the element in place and secure the back plate against the wall of the oven.

really easy, remove old and replace with new...easy, once you have ordered and received the correct part.

Replace the sucket for the heating element.

Followed the U-Tube video and did not have any problem. The video instructions were right on and complete from start to finish. Thanks for the information and instructions.

I just went to your web page and indicated I needed an 8' surface element and up popped a picture; I ordered it and plugged it in and it works perfectly. I didn't need a model number, or a part number. Three cheers for a simple solution and a 1st class web page!

We simply screwed the new element back in to the inside, back of the oven and it was fixed. Very simple. Also replaced my drip bowls on my burners - looks and acts like a new stove/oven again!

Shut off the power at the breakers, then remove the oven door from the hinges (for easier access to the back panel. Loosen the nuts holding the element plate to the back of the oven wall. Pull the faulty element away, carefully so as not to break the wires. Unscrew the electrical wires, noting their positions. Remove the faulty element from the work area. Place the new element into the oven area, attach the wires, push the element plate back in, and screw it back down. Turn the breaker back on. Bake cookies to test. Side note: delivery time from PartSelect was excellent. I went from shorted element to baked goods in just a few days.

I simply followed the instructions on the PartSelect website. Since the range is 20 years old, I replaced all four terminal blocks. I used needle nose pliers to carefully nurse the old terminals off the burner controls, and used fine sandpaper to burnish the male contacts on the burner controls. Since the failed terminal block wire had overheated, I burnished the burner contacts that slip into the terminal blocks to eliminate any resistance that could cause overheating. So far, all burners are working great!

It was simple to do. It actually took longer to read the instructions that I found on the website, than it did to change the element. I want to add, I ordered the wrong part the firs time, but the exchange was super easy and my refund was quick. I'm totally pleased.

Replaced element

We purchased a new, generic-brand, Bake Element, that was much cheaper thank the GE brand. We installed the new element and the oven now works great.

This was a truly simple repair. (Thank you engineers!) Moving the range away from the cabinets/wall and unplugging the 240V power to the range allows the repair to be safely completed. Two simple nuts held the heating element to the back oven wall, and two additional nuts connected the wires to the heating element. (The original equipment used nuts, so a nut driver was needed; whereas the replacement part came with screws so a standard screwdriver was used.) Once the connections were reconnected and attached to the back wall of the oven, the power was reconnected and the range was put back into its spot. I tested the heating element by setting the oven to 350 degrees and allowing it to completely preheat. Done!
