RK383J2 Hotpoint Range - Instructions

unplugged oven. removed oven racks.Disconnected old unit. Installed new unit. Very very simple

I received the kit two days after I ordered it, opened it and installed the knobs in less than 3 minites. The knobs were exact matches for the broken ones. The stove top now looks great and I cannot understand why I waited so long to make this simple repair.

With great ease. Only thing I would have appreciated was knowing the size ofvthevrequired socket wrench. Otherwise it was easy and fun as the instructions were crystal clear.

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. Then I replaced it with the new element that took only two days to arrive and that was without paying extra express shipping fees. It couldn't have been easier. I didn't even wait for my husband to ... Read more come home and install it. I had an oven-baked meal ready when he got home. I was very satisfied.

every thing went just fine. A simple job at best.

What went better was the prompt service.

Thanks

Shut off power, Removed and disconnected element, connected and mounted new element!

Open oven door about 3 inches - then holding on the door on either side - pull up and door slides off - put it aside - this is to make it easy for you to work inside oven compartment - at rear of oven where the element goes into the back wall - there are two nuts to remove - I did not have a nut drive so used a pliers (GE could have put s ... Read more lots in the nuts so one would just need a screwdriver) - pull element forward - there are wires attached to the 2 ends of the element - remove with screw driver - element is off - get new part from PartSelect -(and must say pleased with their service) - and reverse above procedure.

First off the part was easy to find on Partselect...

Second point... ordering was easy and shippment was fast thanks to Partselect...

Replacezment was fairly easy useing a Nut driver and a pair of pliers...took about 40 minutes.

Thank you Partselect...

Turned off circuit. Unscrewed old element. Connected new element and screwed it in. Worked like a charm. It shipped very quickly. Could not be more satisfied; total repair: $30 and prevented me from buying a new oven; satisfaction: priceless.

Element was easy to remove two screws and unplug it. New element didn't have the same prongs and brace was different. Added ends to plug with screws supplied drilled new holes in oven back for brace. Works fine for a repair by a 65 year old woman.

My sons helped with that. They had to use a pliers to remove the old screws (did not have to notches). After that they they removed the element. Then the wires had to be disconnected (after we unplug the oven from the main power source. Then the wires were connected to the new heating unit. We only got one screw in so far will work o ... Read more n getting the second one in when they return tomorrow. I did turn on the oven and it works!!!

Thank you to the nice young man that helped me on the phone.

Removed the two screws which held the element in place. Then I pulled the element out about 2-3 inches and disconnected the two wires. Of course I turned off the breaker which fed the range. This had been done earlier so that wife could throughly clean the oven while the element was out of the way, When the new element arrived, we put it ... Read more into the oven, reconnected the wires to the lugs on the element, pushed it back into the hole, pushed the insulation which protruded back into the hole, and replaced the two screws which held the back plate in place. Turned the breaker back on and turned oven on to test the repair job. Everything worked AOK.

Simple replacement. Price for replacement was excellent. Cheaper than any replacement I priced locally and arrived the day after I ordered.


Thanks!

Two screws to remove the element and two screws for the wire connectors and it was done.

Unplugged oven, removed 2 screws that hold the element in place. Pulled element to expose wires. Disconnected wires & removed old element. Reversed removal for installation, plugged in and worked great.
