RB525G*R2 Hotpoint Range - Instructions

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

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.

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!

Broiler element failed catastrophically (with light flashes) while in use (1986 GE self-clean oven/four burner stovetop). Part number embossed on element plate - very difficult to see - took digital photo while still in oven and magnified. Easy to search for part. Good price, prompt delivery. Removal of old and install new awkward because of access angle and my decreasing nimbleness, as well as oven control thermocouple and support bracket in way. But no technical difficulties. Hex head metal screws holding in element; Notched phillips metal screws holding bracing bracket (easier to put element in by removing one side of bracket). Screws difficult to remove as in much used oven 26 years, and thermocouple partially blocking socket ratchet wrench. Would have been easier with 1/4" short extension. Before detaching element, I used twist ties around the leads tied to a large plastic clip so as not to lose them into oven back. PartSelect part was made by GE, not secondary source. Perfect replacement for this old part - still available.

When the element melted, it continued to get hot even though the oven was off. We had to unplug the whole unit. I then thought it was something wrong in the oven. However, I took a chance and removed the old element by removing the 2 nuts and 2 screws and replaced it with the new element. It worked. When we plugged the oven in, the element did not get hot with the oven off and it is working as if it is brand new. Thanks to PartSelect for their quick service. I now do not need to buy a whole new oven.

Removed the door, stuck my head in the oven , removed the old one and installed the new one. Real easy and fast. Customer service was the best and the delivery was really fast. Will definitely use partselect again.

My son came over to do this for me. He took off the oven door and took out all the racks and turned off the electricity to the oven. Then he used a nut driver to take off the nuts to remove the old element. He bent the wires so they wouldn't fall behind the oven. He then installed the new element and put everything back together. And then he ate the dinner I cooked him for coming over and doing this.

Fit was perfect, slip right in prlace and works great thank u! R.e.Rice

I simply pulled the old surface burner out, and plugged the new one in. It took less than one minute! The amazing part of this repair, is actually that PartSelect sent the replacement surface element burner OVERNIGHT! I could not believe it, and was VERY impressed with their commitment to help their customers in time of crisis. It arrived just on time for my Thanksgiving not to become a nightmare. Thank you PartSeclect!

I took the oven door off, remove the first 2 screws with a rachet,then pulled very hard to get the element out from the back, and then removed the last 2 screws that connect the electric wires to the element. I then did every thing in reverse, put on the oven door, and test the element.
