RK777G*J3 Hotpoint Wall Oven - Instructions

Repair is pretty easy, its the accessability that makes it difficult. This is a wall mount oven. Removing the door would provide pretty good access, but having to reach over the door into the very top back of the oven is a real pain (in the back and other places). As another customer said, there were many dropped screws and much cussing. The old element terminals were just holes in a metal tab that accepted tapered screws. The new element had terminals that were threaded to accept the screws provided. It took lots of twisting and turning of the element and the power wiring to get the terminal on the wire lined up with the terminal on the element in a position where I could hold them together and insert the screw and start the threads. Don't try this after you've had a beer or two. Whew!!! Many tries, sore back, but did it. Like I said, simple except for the reach. Bake element was much easier. Hope I don't have to do this one again. My GE oven is a winner (20 plus years old) and Parts Select has what you need at a reasonable price and ships quickly. Have used before and will use again, if needed.

Easy if you have the right tools. Turn off the electricity to the oven. Remove two screws to release the element; pull the prongs out carefully so you don't damage the insulation. Unscrew the wiring from the old element. Attach wiring to the new element and secure with the existing screws. Ease the prongs back through the insulation and screw (you can use the existing screws or the ones supplied with the replacement part) the wall mount back into place, taking care to make sure that the element brackets are resting evenly on the oven floor. Turn electricity on and turn on the oven to make sure the new element is working properly. Easy. This oven is 25 years old--hope to get a few more years out of it.
