The bottom heating element in my oven has gone out. It is a custom crafted by Hotpoint made probably either in '64 or '65. Do you think this part would be what I need? It is the bottom heating element in the oven.
Thank you!
For model number 407RF45
Hi Jill, thank you for asking. If the bottom element in your oven has gone out, it indicates that it is damaged and needs to be replaced. The compatible bottom bake element for your model is part number PS249449. If you require assistance to place an order, please contact customer service. We hope that helps!
Repair was simple (just lift off the old and put on the new). What was pleasantly surprising was how quickly I received the parts (amazing)!
Lastly, I've been looking for the correct parts/sizes in stores for years (yes, I should have tried this sooner). I was delighted to finally find a place that actually had the correct parts.
1. Removed the back panel. 2. Disconnected the wires from the old switch while connecting wires to the new switch one at a time. 3. Installed the new switch and broke off the excess metal on the post which fits into the burner knob on front of the range. 4. Replaced the burner knob and replaced the back panel.
First I turned the circuit breaker switch off for the stove unit. I then removed the two screws that hold the element in place at the back of the oven. I then pulled the element out about 3 inches and disconnected the two wires. I attached the new element, bolting the wires into place and then screwed the element back into place on the back wall of the oven. I flipped the breaker switch back on, and turned on the oven. I was done in roughly 15 minutes. The most difficult part was having to shine a flash light into the oven to replace the part, and negotiating the hard cold kitchen floor.
