Parts for Tappan TEF303BWG: 03 - Backguard Parts

This temperature-activated limit thermostat is a safety switch for the range/wall oven that reacts to excessive heat to protect internal wiring and controls. Replacing a failed thermostat can restore reliable heating and reduce nuisance shutdowns during baking or self-clean.

• Monitors oven/cabinet temperature and switches its circuit at a calibrated threshold to protect components
• Failure symptoms can include: no bake or broil heat, oven shutting off mid-cycle, or loss of heat after a self-clean cycle
• On some models, a failed thermostat may also affect the cooling fan (not running or running unexpectedly)
• Can be checked with a continuity test per your model's tech sheet

• Disconnect power at the breaker and let the appliance cool completely before service
• Location varies by model; commonly mounted to the rear of the oven cavity, upper plenum, or behind the back panel
• Photograph wiring and transfer leads one at a time; reuse original mounting hardware/orientation
• Never bypass a safety thermostat; replace only with the specified part number

250V.

The Indicator Light Lens is an OEM part for Frigidaire ranges. This component covers and protects the indicator light, which signals when a burner or the oven is on, providing a visual cue for users to ensure safe operation.

Over time, the indicator light lens can become damaged or discolored due to heat exposure, regular cleaning, or accidental impacts. Causes of a bad indicator light lens include cracking, warping, or clouding that obscures the light.

Symptoms of a bad indicator light lens include:

• The indicator light not being clearly visible
• Cracks or breaks in the lens
• Discoloration or cloudiness that diminishes the brightness of the light
• The lens becoming loose or falling off

This OEM replacement is also compatible with Electrolux, Gibson, Kelvinator, and Kenmore models.

This is the variable control switch for an electric range's cooktop burner. It regulates power to the surface element so you can select steady, repeatable heat levels and restore reliable on/off control. What it does:

• Regulates voltage to a surface element based on knob position (low through high)
• Typical failure symptoms: burner won't heat, only heats on high, won't shut off, or heats inconsistently
• Can address issues when the control shaft is damaged or the switch shows signs of overheating at the terminals

• 1 switch

• Disconnect power before servicing
• Access the control panel/console to reach the switch
• Note wire locations and transfer them to the new switch one at a time
• Secure the switch in the panel, reinstall knob, and test burner operation before reassembly

This is a burner control switch for a stove. This part controls the temperature of the heating element on a stove cooktop or range. When the user turns the knob to increase the heat that is produced on the burner, it activates the burner control switch.A new burner control switch may be needed if the user is unable to control the heat on the stove. The burner may get hot and then it may not turn off. The burner may only work when it's on high heat. Alternately, the burner may not heat at all. Never perform care and maintenance on an appliance that is powered on.This is a genuine Frigidaire part and is sourced directly from the manufacturer. It is sold individually. This specific burner control switch is compatible with stove cooktops and ranges that are manufactured by Frigidaire, Kenmore, Crosley, and Westinghouse.

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

The Screw is an OEM part for Frigidaire ranges and ovens. This part is designed to securely fasten various parts of the appliance, ensuring stability and durability. 

Over time, screws can become loose due to the expansion and contraction of materials with temperature changes. Regular use and the occasional necessary removal for repairs or cleaning can also wear down the threads, making them less effective.  

Symptoms of a bad Screw (Chrome) include:

• Loose or wobbly components that should be securely fastened.
• Difficulty in securing parts due to stripped or damaged screw threads.
• Visible corrosion or deterioration of the screw.

This OEM Frigidaire part can also be used on Electrolux, Frigidaire, Gibson, Kelvinator, Westinghouse, and Sears/Kenmore.

Size: 8-18 x 0.5 inch. Color: Chrome.
