All Instructions for the RB787GS2BB

Our old bake element arced when the insulation failed, and caught fire.

The replacement element came within a couple of days of our order. From the time I saw it by the front door till the repair was complete was about 10 minutes. Half the time was taken in walking to my tool box. In just a few minutes we had tested the new element and were ready to make dinner. Great value for the price.

the old oven element burned in two.

After removing the screws holding the element in I disconnected the wires and attached alligator clips to the wires to keep them from pulling back inside the holes. I would have had to pull the stove out and removed some covers if they disappeared through the holes. After getting the part number off of the old element, I ordered a new element from Partselect.com and received the new one in less the a week. Reinstalling the new element took about 5 minutes.

Oven would not heat up

Took out the hexagon screws, used pliers to pull the connecting ends apart, slid in the new element in to the connecting slots, reattached to screws, turned on the oven to see if it would heat up and it did. It was really easy. I had waited for a week to get the part from my local Sears parts house. You sent it out and I had it in 3 days. They still don't have the part. Thanks so much.

For some time our oven had been working eratically, temperature spikes and drops during baking process. I thought the thermostat was the problem. The last time baking, element sparked and overheated in one spot so we removed the element. It was warped and cracked. We replaced it with the new ele

I removed the two screws with a nut driver, pulled the element out far enough to expose the connection point and disconnected the electrical clips. Upon receipt of the new element I did those things in reverse order and it worked great.

Oven bake element burned out (literally!)

Removed oven door & shelves. Removed the 2 mounting screws & compared parts to verify I ordered the right one, then plugged it right in! Managed to drop & lose one of the screws while re-installing them. Got a stainless sheet metal screw from the hardware store that fits, but will probably order an exact replacement because the size & thread are slightly different. All in all, other than losing the screw, it was a quick, easy task.

Burned out element

Turned off circuit breaker, removed the two screws, pulled out the wires, unhooked the connections and hooked up the new element. Put the two screws back in, turned on the power and it worked! So, so easy! I wouldn't have attempted it had it not been for the other stories associated with the part I purchased.
