RS734GP3AD Hotpoint Range - Instructions

Removed old hinges and installed new hinges.
Hardest part was determining that worn hinges were the cause of problem, then ordering replacements. GE website hinge on exploded view did not look like hinges I removed.Thanks to Google I got on to PartSelect.com website where excellent pictures of hinges and one-inch grid confirmed they sold exactly what I wanted for my 13-year old range, the model number of which was not even on the GE website.

Alls well that ends well. General Electric changed the configuration of our Light bulb socket on our 1996 oven. It did not have a flange with two screws as the original. The new one, you will just connect it and twist it into place. It worked and we are very happy. Such wonderful people to deal with at this site. Our sincere thanks,
Richard and Shirley

Removed the old element: removed clips holding the element, unscrewed the 2 screws that hold element in place. On the back of the range, removed casing to get to the connection wires, disconnected the element then removed the element. Reversed procedure to replace. Thanks for the speedy ordering and delivery.

I removed the control panel by removing 7 screws and replaced the light indicator and lens.

pulled out the stove,,unhooked the power cord from outlet. I then pulled the control knob off and removed the the six screws from the back panel. I then removed the two screws the were under the knob and removed switch from panel..I unhooked the wires one at a time and rehooked them to the new switch,,pushed the switch back in the panel and installed the two screws. The knob was different from the shaft on the new switch so I took my dremel and contoured the shaft to fit my switch. I plugged the stove back into the outlet and it worked perfect..

Removed existing surface element and replaced with new element.

P.S.

Part Select service was excellent.

My great and talented hubby did it. He can fix anything. It was easy for him.

I love this website to purchase parts. Both times I have ordered something from you, it has been at a reasonable price and I received it really quickly.
Thanks!

Remove oven door from hinges, by pulling it straight up and off, (like you would do for closer access to clean inside). Remove the storage drawer. Lift up and away off the track, (like a file cabinet drawer). With the drawer out and away, you can see how the springs are easily detached from each hinge. Note the location of where the springs attach to the hinges, and bottom of stove. Remove each spring. Three screws on each side hold the hinges on. Unscrew, and set them aside. (The new hinges did not have new screws in package.) Place new hinge in place. Reinstall in reverse of disassembly. If any part of the door or face of the stove (where hinges mount) was bent slightly due to forcing door open, reform with light hammer taps and C-clamps. Enjoy for ANOTHER 10+ years, because it's a GE Profile Stove : )

It was very easy than i expect,
Just pullout the stove from the location to access rear side of stove,
unscrew 3 nuts with socket rench and disconnected wire. Opened front door of stove, unscrew 5 screwss , then pulled out broken element, replaced it with new one.
It is very very easy , Dont be affraid do it yourself.....

I first removed the unit by pulling gently from connection. Replaced the new one in that same manner - simply inserting into connection.

Very easy, I'll probably try it again soon.

Because of the superb pics and descriptions on the Part Select site, I was able (with NO range model number) to order the correct range element for beloved son's stove. He plugged it in in 3 seconds, works great !

Unplugged over and remove oven racks. Dry fit new clips to hold up broiler element; using piers to insure secure fit to the element. Removed screws that hold element and attached clothes pins to wires to keep from falling back into the oven. Removed element from wires. Secured new/replacement element to wires removed clothes pins. Position element to be screwed into back of oven. Screwed into oven attached clips to oven and element. Plugged stove back into outlet. Turned oven on to test. Worked job done.

Watched the video on the PartSelect site. Could not have been an easier repair and I saved the cost of a service call - probably saved at least $100 - $150 in service call and I can only guess what the labor cost would have been. Will use this business again for other appliance repairs on my older stove, washer, etc. By the way - the official Kenmore site said this part was no longer made and unavailable --- Thank you PartSelect for having the part and saving me the cost of buying a new stove!

Lifted the door off the hinges, unhooked the spring from each hinge, unscrewed 3 Phillips head screws from the face plate of each hinge and removed the hinge assemblies . Hinges went in the way they came out; easy shmeasy. Took less than 15 minutes and the door is like new.

Followed the video directions on your website - GREAT INFORMATION. Everything went very smoothly It took me longer to find my work light (after turning off the electric to the oven) out in the garage than it did to complete the repair!! SUPER PLEASED - WOULD NOT HESITATE TO RECOMMEND THIS COMPANY TO ANY DIY ADVENTURER!!
