Can you please supply your model number?

The model number can be found on the frame of the range where the drawer closes.

To change the burner you will have to remove the top.

Open the oven door and remove the screw along the edge of the top.

Label and disconnect the wires.

Lift the top off and lay it on a protected surface.

Remove the brace and install the new element.

Reassemble.

Here is a link to your range model RF378LXKB.
