Jack K Yuba City , CA December 22, 2014 Appliance: Whirlpool Electric Oven RBS245PDB9 Whirlpool Oven Rbs245pdb9: Broiler element wasn't working. How to replace Oven Broil Element. When I started to remove the old element I discovered it was simply disconnected on one side and the wire had fell behind the wall of the oven. I removed the wall oven and discovered the blade connector had broken so I replaced the blade connector and since I already had the new broiler element I connected it together and replaced the oven. Turned the breaker back on and the new broiler element works great. Thanks for the VERY PROMPT shipping and delivery of the new element. Do-It-Yourself Rating: Repair Time Estimate: 1-2 hours
