RC8200XKW1 Whirlpool Cooktop - Instructions

Repair? What repair? I just removed the old drip bowl and replaced it with the new one. Piece of cake.

lifted the cover, unscrewed the ceramic wire fastners, put the new part in, and voila, job done and working perfectly

the part arrived in two days. Just had to remove the old one and pop in the new one and it was that easy. I was amazed at how soon the part was delivered and happy to have a working burner again.

Removed old block , cut off wires , used new wire nuts, heat shrink , supplied with parts , job done lowered range top went fishing ...

I ordered the 2 burners that were not working. When I got the burners, I discovered that one of the burners was still working and the wiring under that on had burned out. So I ordered the little box kit and repaired it. I only needed to strip wires and twist together and replace the small box. Now all are working and I am cooking with all four burners again. All for about $50.

Since it was a plug-in burner, only needed to pull it out and put the other one in.

Another thing I would like to say is that I was very well pleased with the service from partselect.com. I was unable to find the burners in my area.
Was very helpful in selecting the part and was very efficient in sending it.

Removed the old broken burner and slid the burner prongs into place. Very EASY to replace!

The directions were very clear. I removed the heating element, detached the plug-in block by unscrewing the screw, then cut the wires about 3 inches from the block. I put the shrink-wrap collars around the wires leading to the new block, then attached the wires to the cut ends of the wires leading to the back of the stove, using the connectors provided in the kit. I couldn't get the collars to shrink as much as shown in the picture. I attached the new block to the stove top using the screw, plugged in the heating element, and it worked!
So the instructions were good, and the heating element is now working. The only problem was the heat shrink collars that go around the connectors: I couldn't get them to shrink much, but that doesn't seem to matter.

I raised the stove top, read the instructions to my son while he did the work, then I lowered the stove top, installed the burner, and it worked like magic.

Replace the connector and bracket, spliced the wires, put heat to the schrink wrap and I was done.

My stove is well over 15 years. When I bought my house over 7 years ago the stove was ancient and had only 2 knobs. Well, one of the two fell apart and I could not afford to replace the stove. Lo and behold there was a part number on the back of the knob and I did a goggle search and found an identical replacement. The kind they sell at the store, the adjustable ones, did not work. Anyway, I placed the order during the New Year holiday and I got my knobs in 2 days. Beautiful and shiny and best of all I can use all my burners for the first time ever.Thank you

One screw taken out, 2 wires switched, new part & screw put in. Burner like new!

take the old one out, but the new one in.

After finding the correct Y-frame, inches and watts in a surface burner, it was easy to just slide in the slots. Tested, and it was perfect. Now it makes all of the other burners look bad. Thanks. Your site was the only one, that I was sure I had the correct part.

Cut power. Removed four attaching screws and raised stove top. Cut two wires of existing burner plug. Used existing plug to select correct plug configuration from parts in kit. Attached new plug and wires to wiring harness using connectors and heat-shrink tubing supplied with kit. Used hair dryer to shrink tubing on connectors. Closed up stove. Restored power. Burner now functional.
