Parts for Maytag CDE850: 19 - Solid Element Cartridge (Cae13) 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 sheet-metal pan-head screw secures appliance panels, brackets, and components to the cabinet or frame. Replacing a missing or damaged screw restores a tight fit and helps stop rattles, misalignment, and loosening.

• Fastens sheet-metal panels, covers, ducts, and brackets to the appliance chassis
• Helps keep components aligned and secure during operation
• Replace if the original is missing, rusted, stripped, or damaged
• Common symptoms: loose or vibrating panels, gaps or misaligned parts, hardware that won't tighten

• Disconnect power; shut off gas or water supply before servicing
• Support the panel or part being attached; hand-start threads to avoid cross-threading
• Use the correct driver bit; tighten snugly but do not overtighten into sheet metal
• If multiple matching screws secure a part, consider replacing them as a set for consistent hold

This is a replacement 6-32 x 3/8" screw used to secure panels and components on compatible Whirlpool appliances. It restores proper fastening for loose or missing fasteners so parts stay aligned and stable. What it does:

• Secures trim, panels, brackets or small components to the appliance frame
• Stops rattling or movement caused by a missing or stripped screw
• Helps maintain proper alignment of control panels and access panels
• Provides the correct thread engagement for safe, stable fastening

• One replacement screw (6-32 x 3/8")

• Disconnect power before accessing internal components
• Use the correct screwdriver or nut driver to avoid stripping the head
• Thread carefully and do not overtighten to prevent damage to threads or components
• Keep removed hardware organized and compare sizes before installation

This contact spade is a push-on electrical terminal used to connect an appliance wire lead to a component's blade. Replacing a worn or heat-damaged connector restores a secure fit and consistent power flow.

• Creates a reliable electrical connection between a wire lead and a flat spade terminal on a component
• Helps prevent arcing, heat build-up, and intermittent power caused by loose or burned terminals
• Common symptoms include: component won't power or heat, intermittent operation, visible discoloration or melting at the connector
• Direct replacement for a damaged or fatigued push-on terminal

• Disconnect power to the appliance before servicing
• Match the size/orientation to the original terminal and replace any discolored or heat-damaged wiring/insulation
• Use an appropriate crimp tool to attach the terminal to the wire lead; ensure a firm crimp
• Push fully onto the mating blade for a tight, secure connection

This terminal block provides an insulated, secure junction for incoming power or harness leads inside the appliance. Replacing a cracked, loose, or heat-damaged block restores a safe, reliable connection and helps prevent arcing or intermittent power.

• Creates a fixed, insulated junction between external supply wires and internal appliance wiring
• Maintains tight screw-lug connections to minimize resistance and heat buildup
• Helps ensure steady power delivery to controls, motors, and heaters
• Common indicators of failure: melted/discolored block, burning odor, visible arcing, loose or stripped terminals, intermittent or no power

• Disconnect power at the breaker and verify zero voltage before servicing
• Photograph/label wire positions; transfer one lead at a time to the new block
• Tighten terminal screws firmly; do not overtighten into the insulator
• Inspect wire ends/ring terminals and strain relief; replace any heat-damaged components per the service information

This plastic terminal block insulator protects the dryer's power terminal area by covering exposed connections and helping prevent accidental shorts or arcing. Replaces a cracked or melted insulator to restore basic electrical protection at the terminal block. What it does:

• Covers and insulates the terminal block to reduce risk of electrical shorts and arcing
• Keeps wiring routed and separated at the power connection point
• Helps prevent damage from heat or contact that can lead to melting or sparking
• Commonly replaced when the original insulator is cracked, burned, or deformed

• Always disconnect power (unplug or shut off house circuit) before servicing electrical components.
• Inspect terminal block and wiring for heat damage; replace damaged wires or terminals as needed.
• Ensure terminals are cool and dry before reinstalling the insulator; seat it fully over the block for proper protection.

Size: 8-32 x 1/4 inch.

This hex-head sheet metal screw secures appliance panels, brackets, and trim for a tight, rattle-free fit. Replace missing or stripped fasteners to keep covers and components firmly in place and restore proper alignment.

• Fastens sheet-metal parts, brackets, and trim using a hex drive
• Replaces worn, rusted, missing, or stripped screws
• Helps reduce vibration and rattling from loose panels
• Common signs you need this fastener: head or threads stripped, screw won't tighten, panel or handle coming loose

• Unplug the appliance before service; turn off water supply if working near water lines
• Use the correct nut driver or socket to avoid rounding the head
• Replace one fastener at a time to maintain alignment; do not overtighten
• Match screw type/length to the original location as specified by the manufacturer
