Parts for Amana AE3213: 06 - Heater Box (Thru Sn S6271975xg) Parts

This 240-volt heater assembly restores the appliance's ability to generate and maintain heat during operation, helping cycles reach designed temperatures for proper performance and results. What it does:

• Converts electrical energy into heat for the appliance's heating circuit
• Helps the unit reach and hold target temperatures during heat-required portions of the cycle
• Replaces a damaged, shorted, or open heating element
• Symptoms can include no heat when expected, longer-than-normal cycles, tripped breakers, or heater-related error codes

• 1 heater assembly

• Disconnect power at the breaker before servicing; 240V circuits can be hazardous
• Document wire locations and move connectors one at a time to the new assembly
• Avoid bending or striking the element; ensure secure mounting and proper clearances
• After installation, check related safety devices (high-limit, thermostats, fuses) and verify the circuit has correct voltage and continuity

This 12-14 x 1/2 screw is a factory fastener used to secure appliance panels, brackets, and components. Replacing a missing or stripped screw restores a tight fit, reduces rattling, and keeps parts properly aligned for reliable operation.

• Secures panels, brackets, and internal components to their mounting points
• Replaces damaged, rusted, or missing hardware
• Helps stop vibration and rattling caused by loose fasteners
• Restores proper alignment and stability of covers or assemblies

• Disconnect power and, if applicable, shut off gas/water before servicing
• Match the original screw's location and length; replace one at a time
• Start threads by hand to prevent cross-threading; tighten snugly without over-torquing
• Reinstall any original washers, clips, or spacers used with the screw

This ground screw secures the appliance grounding conductor to the chassis for a reliable electrical ground connection, helping maintain safety and proper operation. It's a direct-fit fastener used where a dedicated ground screw is required. What it does

• Fastens the grounding conductor to the appliance frame to maintain a secure earth/ground connection.
• Helps prevent electrical shock and reduces risk of stray voltage on the chassis.
• Addresses symptoms like intermittent or absent grounding and loose or corroded ground connections.
• Used wherever the original equipment grounding screw has been lost, damaged, or corroded.

• Disconnect power at the breaker and unplug the appliance before starting any work.
• Only attach to designated grounding points on the chassis; ensure the mating surface is clean and free of paint or corrosion.
• Use the correct driver and moderate hand torque—do not overtighten to avoid stripping threads.
