Parts for Kenmore 911.7198710 (9117198710, 911 7198710): Backguard Section Parts

Color: Black

This part is the lens for a small appliance light on select GE cooking products. It covers and diffuses the lamp, protecting the opening and restoring a clean, finished appearance so status illumination is easy to see.

• Covers and diffuses a panel/indicator light so it's visible without glare
• Helps shield the lamp cavity from grease, moisture, and debris
• Restores proper appearance if the original lens is cracked, missing, or discolored
• Common symptoms: missing or broken lens, cloudy/yellowed lens, exposed indicator lamp

• Disconnect power to the appliance before servicing
• Access the lens from the rear of the panel or mounting area; release retaining tabs or hardware
• Seat the new lens fully and align any tabs before securing
• Restore power and verify the indicator light shines through clearly

This indicator light installs in the control panel of compatible ranges/cooktops and illuminates to show when a heating element or function is active. Replacing a failed lamp restores clear, at-a-glance status feedback during use.

• Provides visual confirmation when a surface element or function is turned on
• Common failure symptoms include no light, intermittent flicker, or very dim illumination
• May also be referred to as a pilot light or panel indicator
• Visual indicator only; does not control heating performance

• Disconnect power at the breaker or unplug the appliance before servicing
• Allow the appliance to cool completely
• Access the console/backguard area; note wire positions and move them to the new light one at a time
• Seat and secure the light, restore power, and test operation before reassembly

This replacement screw secures appliance components so panels, brackets, and assemblies stay tight and aligned. Replace stripped or missing hardware to eliminate rattles and keep your unit assembled safely and correctly.

• Fastens panels, brackets, or components to the appliance frame
• Restores a secure fit when the original screw is lost, stripped, or corroded
• Helps prevent vibration noise and movement during operation
• Supports proper alignment of trim and assemblies

• Disconnect power; for gas units, also shut off the gas supply
• Use the correct driver to avoid stripping the head; do not overtighten
• Inspect and address damaged mating threads, clips, or brackets before reinstalling
• Refer to your model's parts diagram to confirm location and quantity
