Gregory H Big Sky , MT December 30, 2018 Broiler element burnt out Ordered a new part. Watched a YouTube video. Fixed it in 15 minutes.

Robert W Leesburg , FL February 17, 2018 Appliance: Whirlpool Free Standing Electric Range RF368LXPS1 Both coils burn't out. Because of working with, door attached, we had to remove the back because the connector wire was to short on one side for top coil.

Bruce M Saco , ME January 31, 2025 Appliance: Whirlpool Electric Range RF262LXSB0 Broiler element failed a bit of metal on the oven floor turned out to be a piece of the element Removed the old element and replaced it with the new. The leads, on one side in particular, were quite short, and quite difficult to unplug from the old element and plug into the new one. Reaching into the back of the oven was one challenge, and the plugs were very tight. Because the leads were short I removed the back cover, per the video, and removed the zip tie around the wire bundle to create some slack. (I added a new one when the job was done). If I had it to do it again I would have installed the element without the wires, and plugged it in from the back, where the plugs were easily accessible. I used pliers to crimp the plug at the end of the wire a little, as it had loosened when removing the old, resulting in a looser fit than I liked when plugging in the new. Anyone who can use basic tools could do the repair, but I suggest mentioning the alternative of plugging in from the back. The new element arrived in very good time and in good condition.
