This red indicator light lens covers the control-panel light opening. It restores a clean, finished look and keeps the status light easy to see while helping protect the opening from debris and accidental contact.

• Covers and diffuses the indicator light for clear visibility
• Fills the control panel opening for a finished, factory appearance
• Helps shield the opening from dust, splashes, and contact
• Common fixes: cracked, missing, loose, or discolored indicator lens

• Disconnect power by unplugging the appliance or switching off the breaker before servicing
• Access the control panel/backguard per your model's instructions
• Release the old lens (tabs/retainer) and press the new lens into the opening until fully seated
• Restore power and verify the indicator light is visible through the lens

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 infinite surface element switch controls the heat output of a cooktop/range element. Replacing a worn switch restores smooth, reliable temperature adjustment for the designated Flex element, preventing issues like stuck-on-high heat, no heat, or erratic cycling.

• Regulates power to the surface element by cycling on and off at the selected setting
• Dedicated control for the unit's Flex element circuit
• Common failure symptoms: element won't heat, only heats on high, won't shut off, or heats inconsistently

• Disconnect power at the breaker before servicing to avoid electrical shock
• Pull the control knob straight off; access the switch from the control panel and note its orientation
• Label and transfer wires one at a time to matching terminals on the new switch
• Reassemble, restore power, and test all heat settings for proper operation

The Large Element Switch is an OEM part for Whirlpool ranges. It regulates the heat output of the large heating element on the cooktop, allowing users to adjust the cooking temperature as needed.

Causes of a bad switch can include wear and tear from regular use, electrical issues, or damage from high heat exposure over time.

Symptoms of a bad large element switch include:

• The large element not heating or staying on continuously
• Inconsistent or incorrect heat levels
• The switch not responding or feeling loose
• The element turning off unexpectedly during use

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

This factory screw secures appliance components to their mounting points. Replace missing, worn, or stripped hardware to restore a tight fit, proper alignment, and quieter operation across the affected assembly.

• Fastens panels, brackets, covers, or internal parts to the chassis or frame
• Helps maintain alignment and support, reducing rattle, vibration, or looseness
• Replaces missing or damaged screws that have backed out, broken, or stripped
• Restores secure mounting after service when original hardware is lost

• Disconnect power; shut off water or gas supplies before servicing
• Use the correct driver; start threads by hand to avoid cross-threading
• Match length and thread to the original location; do not substitute with longer hardware
• Tighten snugly; do not overtighten into plastic or thin metal

This rotary oven selector switch controls oven functions and temperature selection so the range operates reliably and you can choose the correct cooking mode. Designed to replace a worn or non-working selector control. What it does:

• Selects oven mode (bake, broil, etc.) and communicates the chosen setting to the control system
• Restores responsive control when the selector is stiff, intermittent, or fails to click into positions
• Helps eliminate incorrect oven operation or inability to change cooking modes
• Works as the user-facing control for oven function selection on compatible ranges

• Disconnect power to the appliance before attempting service to avoid shock or injury
• Access typically requires removing the control panel or console; handle glass and trim pieces carefully
• Verify alignment and detents before reassembling to ensure proper function

Color: White

This rocker switch is a direct-replacement control button that restores reliable on/off input for the appliance. It replaces a worn or broken front-panel switch so controls respond correctly during normal use. What it does:

• Replaces a failed rocker/control switch used to send on/off or selection signals to the appliance's control circuitry
• Restores consistent electrical contact when the original switch is cracked, stuck, or intermittently working
• Commonly used when push/panel buttons no longer activate functions or display response is erratic
• Simple, single-function mechanical switch — no programming or calibration required

• Disconnect power to the appliance before attempting any service to avoid shock or injury
• Access may require removal of the control panel; keep screws and fasteners organized for reassembly
• Verify switch orientation and wiring before final reassembly; match connectors to original terminals

This indicator light installs in the control panel and illuminates when its corresponding function is active. Replace a failed lamp to restore clear status indication, so you can see at a glance when the appliance is operating.

• Lights to indicate a selected function is on (e.g., surface units or oven circuits—varies by model)
• Provides visual confirmation of appliance status during use
• Common symptoms: light will not turn on, stays on constantly, flickers, or the lens is damaged
• Restores proper visual feedback when controls are engaged

• Disconnect power at the breaker before servicing; allow the appliance to cool
• Access the console/control panel and remove the rear cover as needed
• Note wire positions; transfer leads to the new light and secure it in the panel opening
• Reassemble and restore power to test operation
