• Restores lighting when the bulb is good but the light won't turn on
• Helps correct loose, flickering, or intermittent interior light
• Common signs include a cracked/scorched socket or arcing at the bulb base

• Disconnect power before servicing; allow the appliance to cool completely
• Access may be from inside the cavity or from the rear panel, depending on model
• Transfer wires one at a time to the new receptacle to maintain correct connections
• Install only the bulb type and wattage specified by the appliance manufacturer

This clip secures appliance panels or small components to maintain alignment and reduce vibration, restoring the original fit where a worn or broken fastener allows movement or rattling. Simple, direct-fit replacement when the original clip fails. What it does:

• Holds trim, panels, or small components in position to prevent rattling and shifting.
• Replaces broken or missing fasteners that allow loose or misaligned parts.
• Helps keep wiring harnesses or insulation routed and secured in assemblies.
• Small, inexpensive part commonly used wherever a retaining clip is specified.

• Always disconnect power (unplug or shut off circuit) before servicing the appliance.
• Remove panels or trim per the manufacturer service sheet to access the clip; note the clip orientation before removal.
• Use appropriate tools (needle-nose pliers, trim tool) and avoid over-bending the clip or adjacent parts.
• Replace them with the correct OEM-specified clips for reliable fit.

This contact assembly restores a reliable electrical connection within an appliance's control circuit. Replacing worn or pitted contacts helps eliminate intermittent operation and arcing so the controlled component can turn on and off consistently. What it does

• Provides the conductive interface that completes the circuit when the control is engaged
• Helps deliver stable power to the connected load
• Typical failure signs: intermittent operation, no operation of the controlled component, visible heat damage/pitting on contacts, arcing or buzzing at the contact point

• 1 contact assembly

• Disconnect power to the appliance before servicing and verify no voltage is present
• Access the control area; photograph or label wire positions and terminal orientation
• Move wires one at a time to the new assembly; ensure tight, clean connections
• Inspect nearby wiring for heat damage and replace any burnt terminals; test operation before reassembly

This wire harness, also called a contact wire assembly, restores reliable factory connections between the appliance's controls and components. Replacing a damaged harness helps resolve intermittent or failed operation caused by burnt, brittle, or loose wiring and terminals.

• Provides the electrical pathway between controls, switches, and related components
• Can help address intermittent operation or a component that won't run/respond
• Replaces wiring with burned, melted, cut, or corroded insulation/terminals
• Restores proper routing and insulation to reduce shorts, arcing, or overheating

• Disconnect power at the breaker before servicing; also shut off gas supply
• Access the harness by removing necessary panels/knobs; label or photograph connections for reference
• Route the new harness in the original clips/grommets, away from sharp edges and hot or moving parts
• Push connectors on fully until secure; reassemble and test operation
