RS744GP1 Hotpoint Range - Instructions

I watched the video twice on how to remove the old bake element and replace with the new one. I followed the directions exactly. In fact the first nut driver set I used has a defect in the 1/4" sock and the video was clear that WAS the correct size so I switched to a different socket set and was able to fit it correctly on the top of the bolts that were holding the bake element in place. I would not have had the confidence to try another socket, had I knot had the knowledge from your instructional video. It was VERY helpful. My oven is over 30 years old!! Really!! And the replacement still went smoothly!! Thank you for the educational/informative way you set up your product purchases/website. I would not have attempted to do this repair myself with out this online training. I highly recommend anyone wanting to replace this part watch the video you provide. It is all the info you will need to do the repair.

1. Put the breaker for the stove on the the OFF position. 2. Remove the two hex screws with robo grips, 3. Gently pulled the element outward. 4. Disconnected the broiler element. 5. Connected the new element. 6. Gently pushed the new element back in place. 7. Replaced the hex screws. 8. Put the breaker back to the ON position. DONE

pulled drawer out and installed drawer guide

Pulled out old with pliers. Twisted new clips in per instructions.

unplugged the broken elements and plugged in the new ones. Took about one minute. Tools used: hands and fingers.

Remove the oven door, took racks out, and removed screws, disconnected wires and removed element. Reverse order, replaced element and put door back on.

I was able to follow the instructions here on line, but not being a repairman, I did not know how to unattach the wires from the element & reattach them. It appeared to me that I needed to unbend the wire clip to remove the wires, but I couldn't see how to do that. A friend came over and showed me they just slip off and on - very easy. Had I known that, he would not have had to drive over to my house!

The repair was quite simple. After removing the oven racks and disconnecting power the old element came out with the removal of two bolts. My only issue was one of the power leads popped off and pulled back through the oven wall. Taking off the heat shield on the back of the oven let me push it right back through. Hookup and reassembly took less than five minutes.
