RB524*J1 Hotpoint Range - Instructions

My stove top is 35 yr old. & Lowes did not have drip pans that fit. these worked great & easier than cleaning the old ones. They just popped right in.

Unplugged stove. Pulled stove out. Took the two screw out of the back took the shield off. Loosened up the screws on the element in the back the opened oven door and unscrewed the two screws on the inside holding the element in then pulled the element out and put the new one in. Put the new element in put the two screws in then go to the back put he wires back with the screws tighten down then put the shield back on remember the screws to hold shield plug back in push stove back.

Simply removed old and inserted new. No tools necessary.

Repairman wanted $175.00 for the bake element plus installation to repair the in-laws oven. I went to PartSelect's website and for $35.00 delivered, and in under 15 minutes time, had her up and running for her holiday baking. I first unplugged the oven, removed the 2 screws holding the element in place, pulled it forward and unhooked the 2 wires attached in the rear. I put the new element in the oven, attached the 2 wires, set the element in place and replaced the 2 screws securing it to the oven.

Unscrew 4 easy nuts and 1 most difficult nut, gently pull both long and short wires, at this point assure the wife that you did turn off the power.You may wish to attach a cord to short wire as it wants to vanish into the rear bowels of the oven On instruction of the wife clean the oven. Reverse dismantling procedure. Switch oven on. Bask in wives praise.

Removed old parts with nut driver and installed new part. Don't forget to unplug before working on unit. Very easy repair can be done by anyone who can read and understand instructions

Even though my sons offered to do the repair, I opted to hire an appliance technician to do it and it took him at least 45 mins. with his experience and tools. apparently the inside wall wires were shorter and more difficult to access and grip and I'm glad I did. It should last another 20 years and I'll be dead!

This is twin oven range with controls at side of upper oven. Control panel was fastened with screws at top and bottom. Range has built-in hood at top which had to be disassembled to reach top screw. Once had access to top screw, eaisly removed control panel and replaced control. New control had identical connections as old control so only had to install it, break shaft to correct length, and use proper shaft adapter for knob. Remounted control panel and range worked perfectly. This would have been a very quick job except for having to deal with the built-in range hood.

(Turn off the Power) Pull stove out, remove the 2 screws that holds switch in place, remove one wire at a time and install on new switch. Slip switch in replace 2 screws. Snap off about 3/4 of the shaft cut down plastic insert for knob, install knob turn on power and it works.

Unplug oven, and remove the wiring cover on the back of the oven, unscreen the screws attaching the wires to the element leads and pull the element out. Put new element in and screw on the wires and reinstall the wiring cover. All done less than 15 minutes.

I chickened out and had a friend do it for me so it was real easy.

Repair was very easy. The instructions on Partselect.com with the item ordered described exactly what to do. I followed the instructions and it works great. Used socket wrench to remove the two screws holding the bake element bracket to the oven wall. Pulled the element out. Used a screwdriver to remove the wires from the old bake element. Use a screwdriver to put the new wires on the new bake element. Pushed the bake element back into place. Used a socket wrench to tighten the oven bracket to the oven wall. Done. Turned on the oven. Worked Great!!!.

Removed old element, checked continuity and element was bad, Fit new element and everything was good. No problem except my arms were not long enough!! Repairs took about 15 minutes.

Was looking at $1000 to replace range. Found the part for $30 with shipping. Just need to pull range out and have access to front and rear. AND UNPLUG FROM OUTLET (I also cut power at the box. That's just me) From rear, remove 2 screws holding on vertical cover and remove cover. Remove screws holding wires to element leads. From the front, open door 1/4 way then lift off of hinges. This makes reaching into the oven box easier. Remove two screws holding element to the back wall and remove. Insert new element. Go to back and use new screws that came with element to connect wires Make sure insulation is in place and replace cover. From the front re-connect element to back wall and make sure both feet are level on oven floor before tightening. Put oven door back on, plug in and test. Once tested push range back into place. Whole thing took 20 minutes.

the screw driver I used had several different nut driver sizes so that was the only tool I used. I took the 2 screws that held the element inplace and then there were 2 more that held the wires on to element.
