RB1005XYW2 Whirlpool Wall Oven - Instructions

Unscrewed two small screws and took the old element out, and installed new element. It took less than ten minutes to repair. The new element works beautifully.

I first went to the breaker box and shut off the power to the oven.
Then I pulled the 2 screws from the back of the oven that held the element in and pulled off the clips and removed the old element.
My wife decided to give the old oven a good cleaning with a non-fuming cleanser while I went out to play golf.
When I came home she had applied the 2 clips to the new element and fastened it in with the 2 screws. (I love it when women use tools!)
The oven now looks and works like new!

Screwed in light bulb and glass protector

very easy

Turned off CB for the oven,Remove the oven from the cabinet , remove the back of the oven, replaced the light Assembly. turned on CB for the oven, tested the light. and truned off the CB and replace the back and reinstalled the oven in the cabinet.

I got my part in the mail and FIRSTLY, unplugged the entire stove from the wall. I unscrewed the old part from the front, took the panels off the back, and disconnected the element from the yellow and red wires.I removed the old part completely from the stove. I then put the new part in, reconnected the wires, screwed the part into the oven, then BEFORE putting the back paneling on, I tested it. The new element works like a dream. I then, put the paneling back on & was finished!

BE SURE WHEN YOU BUY TO CHECK WATTAGE OF YOUR OVEN TO YOUR ELEMENT. Voltage doesn't matter because most voltage is the same in any house you live in...

Piece of cake. Removed door and racks, screwdriver to remove element. Reversed operation and back in service in no time. Good as new. Thanks.

I pulled down the wire around the glass cover. . . Released on end of the wire from its holder being careful to not let the glass cover drop. Unscrewed the bulb and replaced with replacement. Easy, easy.

My daughter told me here oven had quit and ask my advice. I saw where the element was burnt. Took out 2 screws unkooked the wires. I was unable to get help at the local Appl repair store so I went to internet to parts select.com I put in model # and had the part within 3 days put it back in and worked fine.

Everything worked perfectly---thanks to the suggestion of your call center agent. She suggested that since the replacement door handles were no longer available, I should consider repainting them--it worked like a charm. Please tell her she was a life saver. We rent that house in Fl and my returning tenants had complained about the discoloring refer handles. Thank you

This is a built-in oven, so the biggest problem was figuring out how to remove it from the cabinet. The solution turned out to be removing the cooktop above it and unscrewing two screws that connected the oven to the inside of the cabinet. The other problem was removing BOTH metal backs from the oven. The first one was easy. The second one wasn't. The old socket was recessed behind the second back, making it virtually impossible to access the metal "wings" that hold it in place, so I ended up pulling out the socket assembly from inside the oven with pliers.

Unscrewed 4 screws holding element. Disengaged one wire, but 2nd one was separated while pulling through rear wall. Could not grasp the wire from the front. Then unscrewed 4 screws along sides of oven to pull casing away from wall cavity. Sat oven on a box while unscrewing 12 rear panel screws. Pulled wire through from back into oven. (Didn't need to do this because new element extended through the rear wall to access from back. Could have reattached wires to new element from the rear, but didn't realize this soon enough.)....two days later reinstalled new broiler element reattaching wires inside the oven and replacing 4 screws holding element in the oven. To replace the back panel I had to lay oven on its face so the holes on back of would fit with the rear panel. Put 12 screws back on. Then pushed oven back into wall cavity and put 4 screws holding oven in place. It is now working!

The oven light gasket had deteriorated with time and bulb changes. It is a self cleaning oven, which gets very hot during the cleaning cycle. The oven is old (27years) and off the "books" I selected a similar, but slightly smaller gasket (3" OD), and "fit" it to the 3.5" light fixture of the older oven. The gasket material was similar to the original, and I used a usable portion of the original,along with the new gasket to build a gasket for the light lense. Several years prior to this repair, I replaced the oven door springs. Whirlpool, who had taken over what was left of Chambers, had the springs. I did replace one heating element about 15 years ago. The Chamber's salesman told me that the Chambers was the "Cadillac" of all ovens, and it seems to keep running.

Received the part the day after ordering. Appreciated the quick service and repair took less than a minute.

Unplugged the range, took the bad element out, and inserted the new one. Plugged the range back in. It worked fine....
