• Disconnect power (unplug appliance or shut off circuit breaker) before inspecting or replacing any wiring.
• Compare the new assembly to the removed part for identical connector types, terminal orientation, and wire routing before installation.
• Use proper tools to release and seat terminals; avoid pulling on wire insulation.
• If terminals or surrounding components show burn damage, diagnose the underlying fault before installing the replacement wiring.

The Spark Module Kit is an OEM part for Whirlpool ranges. It is responsible for generating the spark needed to ignite the gas burners on the cooktop. The spark module sends electrical signals to the igniters, creating the spark that lights the gas for cooking. 

Over time, the spark module can fail due to electrical issues, exposure to moisture, or normal wear and tear. When the spark module becomes faulty, it can lead to various problems with igniting the burners.

Symptoms of a bad spark module include:

• Burners not lighting or taking a long time to light
• No clicking sound when turning the burner knob
• Burners only lighting intermittently
• Visible sparks or arcing from the module

This OEM part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models.

NOTE: This part is only compatible with serial numbers starting with 21 and up on model 8351VV.

The Whirlpool screw is an OEM replacement part responsible for securing various components or parts on different types of Whirlpool appliances. The screw is designed to provide a secure and reliable fastening connection, ensuring that different parts of the appliance stay in place. It is commonly used in different locations within the appliance, such as the cabinet, panels, or other structural elements.

This part fixes the following symptoms:

• Loose or wobbly components within the appliance
• Panels or parts that are not securely attached
• Rattling or unusual noises due to loose parts
• Damaged or missing screw

The Whirlpool screw can also be used on Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore/Sears brand appliances.

This orifice holder secures the burner orifice to the gas burner assembly, ensuring stable gas flow for reliable ignition and consistent flame performance. Use it to restore proper burner operation on compatible gas ranges and cooktops. What it does:

• Holds the burner orifice in the correct position so gas is metered properly to the burner
• Helps restore consistent flame height and shape when a worn or damaged holder causes poor combustion
• Common symptom linkage: burner won't light, weak or uneven flame, or inconsistent heating
• Works with the matching orifice size (12K) to maintain designed burner output

• TURN OFF gas supply and electrical power before beginning any service
• Remove burner parts and replace holder, then reinstall orifice and burner cap in correct order
• After reassembly, check for gas leaks at connections with a soapy-water test; do not use an open flame

This surface burner orifice holder channels gas from the valve to the burner and positions the orifice correctly for the 9.2K burner. Replacing a damaged holder restores proper gas flow, ignition, and consistent flame performance.

• Routes gas from the surface valve to the burner and houses the orifice
• Provides correct orifice alignment/seal for the designated 9.2K burner
• Helps ensure stable flame height and reliable ignition
• Typical failure symptoms: weak or uneven flame, delayed ignition, or gas odor near that burner

• Disconnect power and shut off gas; allow appliance to cool before servicing
• Remove burner cap and head to access, then support fittings with two wrenches when loosening/tightening to avoid stressing the manifold
• Transfer any reusable parts from the original assembly only as directed by your model's service information
• After installation, restore gas and check all connections for leaks with an approved leak-detection solution; verify flame and ignition

This snap-in bushing provides a low-profile bearing surface to support rotating shafts and reduce wear and noise in appliance assemblies. It restores smooth operation where the original bushing is worn or damaged. What it does:

• Provides a replaceable bearing/sleeve for rotating shafts and posts
• Reduces friction and wear on housing and moving parts
• Helps eliminate rubbing, grinding, or rattling noises during operation
• Maintains correct shaft alignment for smooth rotation

• One snap-in bushing

• Disconnect power before servicing and follow all safety instructions
• Access may require removing panels or covers; inspect surrounding parts for wear
• Press or snap the bushing squarely into the housing until fully seated; avoid deforming it
• Replace any damaged retainers or seals and test operation after reassembly
