REC305CD0 Kelvinator Range - Instructions

The problem was that there was heat in the oven but only a little. This threw me off at first but my wife tells me that the broiler element is used as the oven heats up. So bottom line is, the main element was burned out and once I replaced it, everything worked fine.

Very easy repair. First and very important step...shut off power to the oven! Then removed two small screws holding element to back of oven, gently pulled it and the wires connected to it toward me, disconnected the wires, connected the new element and reversed the process. However what I really appreciated about this was how easy it was to find the part on PartSelect.com. It was difficult to read the model number stamped on the plate at the front of the oven, and I got 1 letter and 1 digit wrong. But when I did the search, instead of just telling me "not found," it offered a list of model numbers that were close to what I'd entered, and the first one was correct. Very helpful! The online store is very well set up and easy to navigate.

I had a friend come..He unpluged the old one and put the new one in when it arrived. All is well. Thank you for having the part that was needed. Now the over works super..

I unhooked element from wall on inside. Only two screws to undo. I then took back of stove off and unhook speaker like connectors. It was very simple.

Had to drill 2 new holes 1/4 lower in oven so new coil would bolt up evenly besides that it went easily.

(e.g. First I removed the two screws that hold the element in place. I then pulled the element out about 3 inches and disconnected the two wires...) I did have a problem with the wire connectors. they were a little over heated and loose, so I used pliers to ajust the connection.

***Make sure power is off the stove*** then remove oven racks.
Used 1/4 inch socket to remove 2 screws holding in the heating element, then pulled the element out a couple of inches to get at the wiring. Used pliers to unplug 2 spade clips.
Reversed procedure to install new element.

Removed sheet metal plate from back of oven. Disconnected two lead from existing bake element. Removed existing bake element, replaced with new one. Connected wires, replaced sheet metal.

The trick with this old oven is to access the wires from the back.

I figured that it could not be a hard repair, that these things "die" in the ordinary lifetime of an oven, so that they would not make it too hard to get to. I pulled out the oven and disconnected it; opened three screws on the back, took off the back plate, and you could easily see the two connectors to the element. They came off with a gentle tug with pliers. Then you open the oven, and remove one screw on each side where the element is connected to the back wall of the oven. A magnetic hex socket end for the screwdriver makes it easier. Remove the old element gently through the glass wool insullation, and insert the new one with the element "legs" down. Verify the placement of the element connections in the back, and then replace the screw that hold the tab on the base of each element side to the back wall of the oven. Then, carefully reconnect the connector sleeve onto each end of the element in the back of the oven snuggly. Close the back panel with the three (the forth on the top was not tight and didn't need openening or closing)screws to the sides and bottom of the panel. Replace oven and reconnect to power, and test the element. It all took less than half an hour.

Just removed nuts. Pulled out the element from the unit. Disconnected each end. Reconnected new element. Pushed piece back into insulated unit. Attached nuts. Done.

Read the reviews and followed the same procedure. Very east..took about 10-15 minutes.
Product shipped same day/next day it was delivered and it was installed less than 30 hours after it was ordered.
Exceptional service.

First, I removed the two screws that hold the element in place. I pulled out the element about 2 inches, and then I wasn't sure what to do, so I called my son and he finished the project in about 5 minutes or less. He pulled off the wires and then put the new element in place, slipped the wires on the new element, then pushed it back into the holes and screwed the screws back in. Worked great.

i removed the stove eye and the old drip pan. then i placed the new drip pan in and replaced the eye. the new drip pans fit way better than the ones that i took off of it.

Removed 2 rear screws. Pulled out element. Popped out 2 wire clips. Replaced old element with the new one and attached wire clips. A caveman could do it.

First I removed the two screws that hold the element in place. I then pulled the element out about 3 inches and disconnected the two wires with a pair of pliers do to the tight fit. Removed the old element and set the new one in place. Connected the two wires to the new element and squeezed the connectors tight. Push the element and wires back into the original position and used the new screws to secure the unit to the stove back. Took all of 5-6 minutes. Tested the oven with an oven thermometer at 250, 300, 350, 400 and 500 degrees and and all read within 5 degrees of the settings. Very easy, very simple, very quick.

Thank you for the quick responce and fast delivery of the parts.
