The Snap Nut is an OEM part for Whirlpool ovens and ranges. It is used to secure various components within the appliance, providing a reliable and easy-to-install fastening solution. The snap nut ensures that parts such as panels and assemblies remain firmly in place during operation.

Causes of a bad snap nut can include wear and tear from regular use, over-tightening during installation, or damage due to impacts or vibrations.

Symptoms of a bad snap nut include:

• Loose or wobbly components within the oven or range
• Parts not staying securely attached
• Unusual noises from vibrating or rattling parts during operation
• Difficulty in assembling or disassembling parts

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

This oven door gasket restores a tight seal between the door and the oven front frame. A proper seal reduces heat loss, supports accurate temperatures, and helps food bake and roast more evenly.

• Creates a heat-resistant seal at the door-to-cavity opening to contain heat and airflow
• Helps maintain stable oven temperatures and normal preheat times
• Replace if the seal is torn, frayed, brittle, flattened, burned, or leaking
• Helps resolve heat escaping around the door, uneven baking, or longer cook times

• Disconnect power; for gas appliances, also shut off gas. Allow the oven to cool completely
• Remove the old gasket by releasing end retainers or pulling it from the channel; clean the groove
• Install the new gasket without stretching; seat it evenly around the perimeter with corners aligned
• Close the door and check for uniform contact all around; adjust as needed per your model instructions

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

• Restores even door alignment and fit when the top edge is warped or bent.
• Helps keep dirt and moisture out of the door edge where trim is broken.
• Matches the factory black finish for a cohesive look.

• Remove food and support the door before beginning to prevent tipping; follow the appliance manufacturer's service instructions.
