RK966G310 Hotpoint Range - Instructions

Ordered the part on a Friday afternoon and was shocked to receive the box on Saturday AM! Turned off the power to the unit, unscrewed the screws holding in the old element, and hooked up the new one. We didn't have a socket wrench so we subbed a pliers. So easy & cheap! Seems like everything's breaking around this house & this is the ONLY thing that was easy & cost less than $20! Happy with Parts Select!

Getting the part out was easy. Turned the power off (of course) first. The outside nuts were corroded, so had to use a pair of pliers to get them off. The inside connectors were easier to get off. I had a little trouble getting the connectors on the wires. The metal part on the heating element kept wanting to bend. I finally had someone hold that in place while I made the connections. The outside screws were easy to put on. The oven now works great. I think the element was failing over a period of time, and we just didn't notice. I can't remember the last time I actually saw the element get RED hot. Works great. Thanks for your quick service and reasonable prices. Will definitely use you again, when I need parts like this. (You are now Bookmarked on my computer).

unscrewed the broken one and replaced it with the new heating element. Worked perfectly! 20+ year old oven.

Unscrewed old element and screwed in the new one.

Removed two small bolt screws that held the bottom burner in place. Unscrew the two small screws that attach the oven wiring to the bottom burner. Put the bottom burner back in place and screw the two small bolt screws back in and its done.

Turned off electricity at fuse box. Unscrewed old element and removed. Put in new element, screwed it in. Turned on electricity. Voila.

Removed 4 screws and removed the old element and replaced in the reverse order.

Turn off power to oven. Make sure with tester that the power is indeed off. Disconnected the two fasteners holding the old unit face plate to rear of oven. Pull the unit outward to expose the leads. Disconnected the leads. Reform new element to remove minor bends so it will sit flat on the floor of the oven. With plies holding the leads straight connect new unit to oven leads. Push new unit back into mounting hole. Reconnect new unit face plate to back of oven. Check that unit is level. Turn the power back on. Test the unit. All works just fine.

A friend gave me your website. I looked up the model (is over 30 years old & obsolete!), but you listed a similar model. Part fit perfect, works great, heats to set temp quickly. Your do-it-yourself page was a big help...thanks! Replacement went quick and easy after I saw what needed to be done.

The bottom heating element burned out. Ordered the right part and my husband fixed the heating element. This saved a lot of money.Thanks, RM from South Carolina

so easy it doesn't need an explanation. Just remember to throw the breaker switch before beginning!

1) Turned off breaker and verified that the oven would not turn on. 2)Removed racks from the oven. 3) used nut driver to remove two mounting screws 4) used screwdriver to disconnect bake element from the wires. 5) used supplied screws to attach wires to new bake element. 6) pushed bake element into place and used nut driver to secure it in place with screws. 7) replaced racks 8) turned on breaker 9) tested by turning on oven with oven thermometer in place.

Flipped breaker to cut power to the oven.Loosened existing element using nutdriver to remove two screws in rear plate that attaches element to the rear wall of the oven.Pulled old element gently outward exposing two screws that attach element to existing wires.Removed those two screws with nutdriver to remove old element.Reversed the process. Turned power back on and turned on oven. Element worked perfectly.

I was able to find the part here and replaced it the same day. You could use smaller boxes and packing, but thanks you for the part and help.

Ordered the part and replaced the old one. Whole process took about 15 minutes.
