Parts for Amana FET142-2D / FET14202D: 01 - Page 1 Parts

This surface element supplies heat to an electric range or cooktop burner. When it fails, the burner may not heat or may heat inconsistently. Replacing the element restores steady, reliable cooking performance.

• Converts electrical energy into heat for the cooking zone
• Works with the surface control (infinite switch) to regulate temperature
• Common symptoms: burner won't heat, intermittent or uneven heating, visible breaks/blistering, burnt/melted terminals
• A failed element will not glow or reach set temperature when energized

• Disconnect power at the breaker before servicing and allow the cooktop to cool completely
• If your model uses a plug-in coil style: remove the drip pan, pull the element straight out of the receptacle, and inspect/replace a heat-damaged receptacle as needed
• If your model uses an under-glass radiant style: lift the cooktop, transfer any clips/limiters from the old element, and route wires exactly as original
• After reassembly, test the burner at a low setting to ensure proper operation

This part has been discontinued by the manufacturer and is no longer available.

The Top Burner Receptacle Kit is an OEM part for Whirlpool ranges and cooktops designed to provide a reliable electrical connection between the stove's top burners and the power source. This kit typically includes receptacles, wire terminals, and mounting hardware necessary for the installation, ensuring that each burner receives the proper electrical current to heat efficiently. 

Causes of a bad top burner receptacle can include corrosion due to spills or moisture, physical damage from heavy use, or natural wear and tear over time. 

Symptoms of a bad Top Burner Receptacle Kit include:

• A burner that doesn't heat up
• Intermittent heating or fluctuating temperatures
• Visible signs of damage or corrosion on the receptacle
• Sparks or short circuits when attempting to use a burner

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

For the complete terminal block kit order 12001676.

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

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
