My broil element is about 16 inches long from the back to the front. How much of the element shown is behind the back of the oven?
For model number RB770PXBB0
Hello Bob, Thanks for your question. Only the wire ends should be behind the back, which are approximately one inch in length. I hope this helps.

Bake Element Burned Out
Replacement was relatively easy. Oven door was pulled off hinges after removing 2 mounting screws nearest the hinges. After shutting off power at the breaker, screws (2 each) holding elements were removed. Elements were pulled into oven ~ 4 inches exposing wiring and clips. The clips pulled free with just a little wiggling by hand and were easily pushed back on by hand. Then reverse to finish.

Both heating elements would not work.
After shutting off the power, I removed the door and oven racks. Then, by using a screwdriver, I removed each element one at a time and replaced with the new element. Each element pulled away from the back wall and was connected electrically by Sta-Kon connectors. All went well, and the unit was operational in about 30 minutes. I still have to remove the oven from the wall to replaced the two door springs.

Broiler wouldn't heat
First I removed the ovem door, then I removed the 4 screws, unplugged element and plugged in the new one, then replace the screws and door. It should have been a 10 min job but I'm old and a bit fat...slowed me down.

The heating elments were getting old kicking breaker
took out the old heating elments and cleaned the bottom & top of oven with out the elments in, which made it alot easier then put new ones in. They were very easy to do, just make sure you watch how you took old ones out and don't loose the screws cause you use them to put new ones in.

The upper broiler element had burnt and broken into.
I must compliment PartSelect on their quick responce and delivery of the item ordered. It arrived a day after I had ordered it. Trust me, the $40.00 I spent on the item was way cheaper than having a repair service fix it or having the entire oven replaced. I would highly recomend anyone to utilize PartSelect.

Broiler unit would not heat
The broiler unit had disintegrated at both connections. I removed the two screws in the top of the oven holder the unit, pulled out the unit, measured and ordered a replacement.

To replace the element, I pulled out the stove, removed the rear panel, located the connections for the broiler unit, remove parts of the old unit. I then attached the new unit to the top of the oven with the two screws, went around back and pushed in the two connections, replaced the back cover and replace the stove. It took about 30 minutes because I cleaned everything and sprayed bug spay (another plus for doing the repair myself).

Oven would not reach selected temperature
First, shut off the power at the breaker panel. Next, I simply unscrewed the screws holding in each element, disconnected the leads, reconnected the leads to the new elements, positioned each element & reinserted the screws. A suggestion: Before loosening the screws, a light shot of PB Blaster or similar might help.

Part arrived promptly and worked fine

This repair turned out more involved as when I pulled out old broiler element connecting wires remained behind oven wall so could not access. I had to call in appliance repairman as pulling oven out from wall is beyond my DIY skills. He had a special cart purchased from Whirlpool for that purpose! Broiler is now working fine again and great to be able to get a factory part for an oven built in 1989!

Easy 15 minute job

This was a broiler replacement. Knock the power off at the breaker. Make sure you keep the old rear wall brackets as you reuse them. After removing all four screws be gentle when pulling the element out. One of my connectors caught on the frame and came off. Easily retrieved with long nose pliers so all was well. Slide the old rear wall brackets onto the new element (keep them on the same side), connect the two leads, slide back in until the two roof brackets are aligned. Screw those in then slide and attache the rear wall brackets and you’re done.

Difficult repair, but the part was excellent

The difficult part was getting the screws out of the top of the 26 year old oven. We ended up cutting them out, rotating the brackets 180° and drilling new holes. Had to remove the oven from the wall cabinet (It's heavy!) to make sure the other connections at the back were good. I've changed the bottom element myself but the broiler element was a lot more complicated. I wish the design of the broiler element was like the bottom element--plug and play!

They sent the wrong part. I have an old oven. They didn't tell me the part was not available. Someone should have said you cant get that part
