This is a genuine replacement mounting screw used to secure appliance panels and components. It restores proper fastening to reduce vibration and prevent parts from loosening during normal operation. What it does:

• Secures panels, brackets, or trim to the appliance frame
• Prevents rattling or vibration caused by loose fasteners
• Keeps wiring and small components held in place
• Helps maintain proper alignment of removable parts

• Disconnect power to the appliance before servicing
• Use the correct screwdriver or bit to avoid stripping the head

This control panel is the exterior console housing that holds the oven's user controls and display, restoring a clean, functional front surface for the appliance. It replaces cracked, faded, or damaged panels to improve appearance and usability. What it does:

• Provides the mounting surface and openings for the appliance's control buttons, keypad, and display
• Restores a secure, finished front console when the original panel is dented, cracked, or cosmetically worn
• Helps prevent dust and moisture from reaching internal electronic controls when intact
• Can resolve issues where the control area is damaged but the internal electronics are still functional

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting any repair to avoid shock or injury
• Typical installation requires removing mounting screws and carefully separating the old panel from the console assembly
• Handle edges and any glass/trim pieces carefully to avoid cuts or damage
• If internal components are damaged or malfunctioning, they may need separate replacement

This mounting bracket secures internal components to the appliance cabinet to prevent movement and vibration during operation. It provides a stable anchor point to keep panels and modules aligned for reliable performance. What it does:

• Anchors panels, consoles or internal modules to the cabinet to stop shifting and rattling
• Helps maintain proper alignment of parts for smooth door/panel operation
• Reduces noise caused by loose or vibrating components
• Supports safe, stable installation of attached parts

• Verify cabinet location and orientation before fastening to ensure correct fit
• Use the same screw holes and fasteners removed during disassembly unless replacement hardware is specified
• Tighten fasteners securely but avoid over-torquing to prevent damage
• Disconnect power and follow all safety precautions before servicing the appliance

This door switch senses whether the door is open or closed and communicates that status to the appliance's controls. It helps prevent operation with the door ajar and can control an interior light, promoting safe, proper cycle operation. What it does:

• Detects door position and opens/closes the circuit or signals the control accordingly
• Allows the unit to start/run only when the door is fully shut
• Switches the interior light on/off depending on model
• Common symptoms of a failed switch: cycle won't start, "door open/ajar" message, interior light stuck on or off, unit stops when the door is jostled

• 1 door switch

• Disconnect power to the appliance before servicing
• Access the switch from behind the front panel or inner door panel, depending on model
• Note wire positions and transfer them one at a time to the new switch
• Ensure the actuator engages properly with the door and test operation before reassembly

This genuine heating element restores consistent, controlled heat so your appliance can reach and maintain the proper temperature. Replacing a failed element can resolve no-heat or weak-heat issues and bring performance back to normal.

• Converts electrical energy into heat when powered by the control
• Helps the unit achieve and hold the set temperature during operation
• Typical failure symptoms: no heat, slow or uneven heating, cycles that take longer than normal, visible damage to the element
• May trigger heat-related error codes when failing

• Disconnect power at the breaker or unplug the appliance before servicing; allow all components to cool completely
• Note wire locations and terminal orientation before removal; transfer any mounting hardware from the original if needed
• Avoid bending or striking the element; handle by the bracket/insulators
• After installation, run a test cycle to check for secure connections

This thermostat is the temperature-sensing switch that helps the appliance maintain its set temperature for reliable operation. It replaces a failed temperature control that causes improper heating or cooling performance. What it does:

• Senses temperature and opens or closes the circuit to control heating/cooling cycles
• Prevents overheating by interrupting power when temperatures exceed set thresholds
• Restores normal cycling when the control no longer conducts (common with failed thermostats)
• Common symptoms include the appliance not reaching or holding temperature, cycling too frequently, or running continuously

• One thermostat

• Disconnect power before servicing to avoid shock or injury
• Follow the appliance service manual for removal and proper wiring location
• Verify electrical continuity of the old and new thermostat with a multimeter before and after installation
