Parts for Kitchenaid KDRS462VSS03: 02 - Burner Box, Gas Valves, And Switches Parts

This 1/2" female adapter is a threaded plumbing connector that lets a 1/2" male water line or fitting join the appliance inlet safely and securely. It provides a simple, durable connection to restore proper water flow. What it does:

• Adapts a 1/2" male threaded water supply to the appliance's inlet fitting
• Restores a secure, leak-free connection when the original fitting is damaged or missing
• Commonly used where a reliable, compact threaded coupling is needed
• Can help stop drips or leaks caused by worn or corroded connectors

• One 1/2" female adapter

• Turn off the water supply and unplug the appliance before installing
• Use plumber's tape on threads for a reliable seal unless the OEM instructions specify otherwise
• Hand-start threads to avoid cross-threading, then tighten with an appropriate wrench; avoid over-tightening
• Check connections for leaks after restoring water and operation

This heat deflector routes hot air inside the dryer cabinet to ensure proper airflow and heating performance. It helps maintain even drying and prevents hot spots that can reduce drying efficiency. What it does:

• Directs and channels heated air to the drum and exhaust pathways
• Helps maintain even drying and consistent heat distribution
• Can prevent localized overheating or restricted airflow when damaged
• Commonly replaced when dryer has uneven drying or internal airflow obstructions

• Disconnect power (unplug electric or shut off gas and unplug) before starting any repair
• Typically mounted with screws; basic hand tools (screwdriver/socket) are usually required
• Inspect surrounding seals and ducts for damage while replacing the deflector
• Handle carefully—edges may be sharp and panels can be fragile

This grill burner replaces the upper broil element in compatible gas ranges so the oven can brown and broil food evenly. Restores direct flame heating for proper broiling and searing performance. What it does:

• Provides the primary flame for the oven's broil/grill function
• Enables even browning and searing on the top rack
• Replaces damaged, warped, or non-lighting grill burners
• Helps correct weak or inconsistent broil heat and visible flame issues

• Turn off gas supply and power to the appliance before starting work
• Inspect and replace any damaged burner mounting hardware or gaskets as needed
• Handle with care to avoid bending the burner or damaging orifice fittings

This manifold assembly is the replacement gas distribution manifold for compatible 36" gas ranges. It routes gas to the range burners so the cooktop heats evenly and operates safely when installed correctly. What it does:

• Distributes gas from the range inlet to individual burner valves for proper burner operation
• Helps maintain consistent burner ignition and flame across the cooktop
• Can address symptoms like burners that fail to light or produce weak/uneven flames
• Works as a direct replacement for a damaged, cracked, or leaking manifold

• Turn off the gas supply and unplug the appliance before starting any work
• Inspect all fittings and gaskets; replace any damaged seals to prevent leaks
• Reconnect gas lines hand-tight, then tighten to manufacturer torque specs; test all connections with a leak-detection solution per OEM instructions
• If you smell gas, stop work immediately, ventilate the area.

This burner valve controls gas flow to a single surface burner, restoring proper ignition and flame control for your cooktop. It's the OEM-style valve used where a single valve failed or leaks. What it does:

• Regulates gas flow to one surface burner so the burner lights and maintains a steady flame.
• Replaces a worn, stuck, or leaking valve that can prevent a burner from igniting or holding a flame.
• Helps correct low or inconsistent flame height caused by valve malfunction.
• Works with standard gas cooktop valve assemblies compatible with the listed part number.

• Turn off the gas supply and unplug the appliance before beginning any repair.
• Use proper fittings and thread sealant where required; check manufacturer guidance for torque.
• After installation, test for leaks with a safe leak-detection method (soapy water or a gas sniffer).

This single simmer burner valve controls gas flow to a single low/simmer burner, restoring consistent low-heat operation and safe flame adjustment. Direct-fit replacement when the simmer burner won't light or holds only high flame. What it does:

• Regulates gas flow to the low/simmer burner for stable, low-heat cooking
• Replaces a worn or leaking valve that can cause an uneven or nonfunctional simmer flame
• Helps stop slow gas leaks at the control port when the valve is faulty
• Works with the range/stove valve assembly to restore normal burner control

• One burner valve (single simmer)

• Turn off gas supply and unplug the appliance before servicing
• Handle gas components carefully; inspect and replace any damaged seals or gaskets
• Installation may require disassembling the cooktop and/or valve manifold

This dual burner valve controls gas flow to two cooktop burners, restoring reliable ignition and heat control for gas ranges. It replaces a worn or leaking valve assembly to help stop burner failure and gas odors. What it does:

• Regulates gas flow to two burners so burners light and hold a steady flame
• Stops common symptoms like burners not lighting or weak/intermittent flames
• Helps prevent gas leaks when seals and valve seats are functioning correctly
• Used when clicking/ignition occurs but burners fail to sustain flame

• Shut off gas supply and power to the appliance before starting any repair.
• Inspect and replace any damaged gaskets or fittings; use proper thread sealant where required by the manufacturer.
• Tighten connections to specified torque and test all fittings for leaks with a soapy water solution or approved detector.

The Spark Module is an OEM prat for Whirlpool brand gas ranges. Within the gas control, it functions to generate high-voltage sparks igniting the standing pilot lights and burner flames. 

Causes of failure include normal wear of internal electronics from extensive temperature cycling. Contamination or damage over time also disrupts proper sparking.

Symptoms of a faulty module include: 

• Standing pilots failing to remain lit between use  
• Burners not igniting when the control knob is turned 
• Inconsistent burner output or shutdowns during cooktop usage

This Whirlpool replacement ensures temperature adjustments and cooking functions operate reliably. Compatible replacements are suitable for Whirlpool, Maytag, KitchenAid, and some Kenmore appliances as well. 
 

A shoulder screw that secures appliance components and provides a precise pivot or spacer point. Replaces a missing or worn screw to restore alignment, reduce rattling, and keep panels and assemblies securely in place. What it does:

• Provides a fixed-diameter shoulder for pivots, spacers, or mounting points in assemblies.
• Holds panels and moving components at the correct distance to prevent binding or friction.
• A missing or worn shoulder screw can cause misalignment, rattling, or loose parts during operation.
• Used where a smooth-bearing surface and controlled clearance are required between parts.

• Disconnect power to the appliance (unplug or shut off breaker) before servicing.
• Handle small fasteners carefully to avoid dropping into assemblies; magnetic pickup tools can help.
• Start threads by hand to avoid cross-threading; tighten snugly but avoid overtightening.
