Parts for Amana ARC700E / P1142652N E: 01 - Backguard Assy Parts

This machine screw is used across appliances to secure brackets, covers, and internal components. Replacing a missing or stripped fastener helps keep parts aligned and tight, reducing vibration and preventing loose or shifting assemblies.

• Provides machine-thread fastening for panels, brackets, and internal parts
• Helps eliminate rattling, vibration, and loose fits
• Restores proper attachment when the original screw is stripped, missing, or corroded
• Used wherever an 8-32 screw is specified in the service manual or parts list

• Disconnect power to the appliance; turn off gas/water if applicable
• Match the screw to the original location to confirm size and thread
• Start threads by hand to avoid cross-threading; use the correct driver
• Tighten snugly—do not overtighten to prevent stripping or cracking

This surface burner infinite switch sits behind the knob and regulates power to the cooktop/range element. Replacing a failed switch restores accurate heat settings so the burner can turn on, modulate properly, and shut off as expected.

• Regulates on/off cycling of the surface element to achieve the selected heat level
• Sends power to the burner based on knob position
• Common failure symptoms: burner won't heat, only runs on high, won't shut off, or heats erratically
• Knob turns but the burner does not respond

• Disconnect power at the breaker before servicing; surface elements operate at high voltage
• Pull off the knob and remove the control panel/backguard as needed to access the switch
• Transfer wires one at a time from the old switch to the matching terminals on the new switch
• Align the shaft to fit your knob, reassemble the panel, restore power, and test operation
