This main electronic control board manages the appliance's user controls and core functions so the unit responds correctly to user input and cycle selections. Replacing a faulty board restores reliable control and normal operation. What it does

• Receives input from the control panel and sends signals to compressors, fans, valves, and other subsystems
• Regulates cycle timing and mode selection to ensure intended operation
• Helps maintain expected temperature and performance by coordinating system components
• Common symptoms of a failing board: unresponsive or erratic controls, blank or flashing display, units that won't start or complete cycles

• One electronic control board

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting any repair to avoid shock or damage
• Observe electrostatic discharge (ESD) precautions when handling the board; avoid touching circuit traces or components
• Some installations require removing the console or access panel.

This graphite control knob replaces a worn, cracked, or missing stove/oven/range control knob to restore safe, reliable control of burners or oven functions. Easy to install and matches OEM fit and appearance. What it does:

• Replaces a damaged or missing control knob so you can accurately set burner/oven temperatures or functions
• Fits standard stove/oven control shafts (push-on style) for a secure, tactile grip
• Helps eliminate loose, hard-to-turn, or non-indexing knobs that affect control
• Restores original appearance when the factory knob is faded, chipped, or broken

• One graphite control knob

• Typically installs by pulling off the old knob and pushing the replacement onto the control shaft; no special tools required
• Verify knob alignment and function before use; do not force onto the shaft if it does not seat easily
• Disconnect power or ensure controls are off and burners/oven are cool before replacing to avoid injury

This replacement switch restores reliable on/off control for a specific function in your appliance, helping the selected feature respond consistently. A worn or failed switch can cause the feature to be unresponsive, intermittent, or stuck on.

• Opens and closes an electrical circuit to start/stop a function
• Common symptoms include no response, intermittent operation, or a feature that won't turn off
• Can be checked with a multimeter for continuity when actuated

• Disconnect power at the breaker or unplug the appliance before servicing
• Access the control area to reach the switch; note/photograph wire positions
• Move wires to the new switch one at a time and secure connections
• Reassemble panels, restore power, and test operation

This replacement switch restores reliable on/off control of a specific function in your cooking appliance. When the original switch wears out, components may fail to power on, stay on, or work only intermittently. What it does:

• Opens and closes an electrical circuit to control a targeted component
• Used in select models to switch features such as a light, fan, or heating element
• Symptoms of a failed switch include no response, intermittent operation, or a component that won't turn off
• Visible heat damage, arcing, or loose terminals at the switch may also indicate failure

• 1 switch

• Disconnect power at the breaker or unplug the appliance before servicing; verify no voltage is present
• Note wire locations or take a photo; transfer wires to the new switch one at a time
• Reuse existing mounting hardware or brackets as applicable
• Restore power and test the controlled function before final reassembly

NOTE: Must order (2) new mounting screws, part# 5303288565 (5303323134) when ordering this switch due to a change.

This truss-head machine screw secures a switch to its mounting bracket or panel. Replacing a worn or missing screw restores a solid, aligned switch fit for reliable operation.

• Fastens the switch body to a bracket or chassis panel
• Helps keep the switch aligned for consistent actuation
• Replaces stripped, corroded, or missing mounting hardware
• Common symptoms: loose or wobbly switch, misalignment, rattling or vibration around the switch area

• Disconnect power to the appliance before servicing
• Start threads by hand to avoid cross-threading; tighten snugly without overtightening
• Verify thread size and length match the original hardware
• If multiple screws secure the switch, replace them in a consistent pattern to maintain alignment

This wiring harness assembly routes power and signals between the appliance's controls and components, restoring reliable electrical connections for proper operation. It replaces damaged or worn wiring to help eliminate intermittent faults. What it does:

• Carries electrical power and control signals between the control board, motors, heaters, valves, and sensors
• Replaces frayed, burned, or broken wiring that can cause intermittent operation or component failure
• Restores secure connector connections to reduce arcing and poor contact symptoms
• Helps return the appliance to normal electrical routing when original harness is damaged

• Disconnect all power (unplug appliance or switch off breaker) before starting work
• Handle connectors carefully; match connector shapes and routing to OEM locations during install
• Avoid splicing or taping unless a serviceable repair is explicitly specified by OEM documentation
• If harness shows heat damage or melted connectors, replace the full assembly rather than attempting partial repairs

This repair parts list is a printed parts diagram and list used to identify and order replacement components. It helps owners match part names and reference numbers to the appliance during troubleshooting or repair. What it does:

• Shows exploded diagrams and part names to locate the correct replacement components
• Lists OEM part numbers and part descriptions for accurate ordering
• Helps identify commonly failing parts and where they fit on the appliance
• Speeds up diagnosis by providing a visual reference for assemblies and components

• This is a reference document; no mechanical installation required
• Keep the sheet near the appliance or with service records for easy access
