RK767G*J1 Hotpoint Wall Oven - Instructions

The element had to be replaced. I called for assistance in finding the right heating element for this old stove. customer service was very helpful since I didn't have the whole model number of the stove. It was at my door the very next day and went in very easy.

(1) Disconnected all electrical power to the unit; (2) Re-moved two screws holding the element to the wall of the oven; (3) Carefully pulled the element forward, exposing two screws attaching the element to the power source; dis-connected those screws which totally released element from the oven. (4) Attached the new element to the power source via supplied screws, replacing the unit into it's original position; (5) Attached the new element to the wall of the oven; (6) Re-connected electrical power to the unit.

Make sure the oven is off , remove 2 mounting screws , remove 2 screws wire to element , repeat previous steps installing new element

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.

By using a sscrewdriver with a socket,the job was easy

I turned off power to the oven and used a nut driver to unfasten the heating element from the back of the oven. I pulled it a little bit out, then used a screwdriver to disconnect the wires from the terminals. I used the new screws provided with the new element to connect it to the wires, then screwed it back to the back of the oven. I turned the power back on and tested it. It was easy. No need to replace the oven yet.

removed and screwed new one in

I thought it would be a simple matter of removing the inside glass (4 screws) and replacing the gasket, but it turns out that on this model I had to start on the outside, remove the drawer, then remove the front door cover, then undo a screw which held the inside two-tier glass in place, THEN I could remove the four screws and the interior panel which holds the gasket in place. THIS IS A TWO PERSON JOB unless you choose to use masking tape to hold the exterior door cover in place while removing/replacing the many screws which hold it on. WHILE REPLACING THE INTERIOR COVER WHICH HOLDS THE GASKET IN PLACE, YOU MUST PERIODICALLY STRETCH IT HERE AND THERE TO GET THE "SNAKE" TO EXTEND THE ENTIRE WAY AND TO SEAL TIGHTLY.

Ordered part. Part arrived within 3 days. Went to my nextdoor neighbor and sniveled about "being afraid of electricity." He came over, unscrewed 2 screws, pulled out old element, replaced with new element, gave me a look that said, "must be nice pretending to be a helpless old lady and getting your way all the time." Smiled and went back home. Sure love my neighbor(s)!

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.

Quarter inch socket was all that was required. The plate that covers the slot where the element threads through from the rear was smaller than what was on the original element, and it took a few attempts before it was secured properly to cover the opening, but other than that, it was a snap. I estimate that I saved well over $200.

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!

You must turn off the power to the oven since it's directly wired into the electric. One person holds the flashlight while the other removes two nuts, then two screws. Tight space to work in with head in oven. Tricky getting the screws back in and them making sure the unit is centered in the space when tightening the screws. Turn power back on when done. Works like a charm.
