Parts for Kitchenaid KOCE500ESS20: Control Panel Parts

The Whirlpool screw is an OEM replacement part responsible for securing various components or parts on different types of Whirlpool appliances. The screw is designed to provide a secure and reliable fastening connection, ensuring that different parts of the appliance stay in place. It is commonly used in different locations within the appliance, such as the cabinet, panels, or other structural elements.

This part fixes the following symptoms:

• Loose or wobbly components within the appliance
• Panels or parts that are not securely attached
• Rattling or unusual noises due to loose parts
• Damaged or missing screw

The Whirlpool screw can also be used on Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore/Sears brand appliances.

This is a replacement 8-18 screw used to secure components in compatible Whirlpool appliances. It provides a reliable, corrosion-resistant fastener to restore proper fit and function for panels and internal parts. What it does:

• Secures panels, brackets, or small internal components where an 8-18 thread is specified
• Restores loose or missing fasteners that cause rattling, misalignment, or improper sealing
• Matches OEM thread size and head profile for a correct fit when listed for your model
• Prevents further wear or damage caused by using the wrong screw size

• One screw as shown

• Turn off and unplug the appliance before starting any repair
• Use the proper screwdriver or driver bit to avoid stripping the head
• Do not overtighten—tighten until snug and components seat without play
• Replace only where the OEM specifies an 8-18 screw to ensure proper fit

This foam seal fits between mating parts to create a tight barrier that helps prevent leaks and rattling. Replacing a worn or missing seal restores proper sealing and helps keep your appliance running quietly. What it does:

• Creates a compliant gasket between components to limit air or moisture passage
• Helps dampen vibration and reduce rattling/buzzing where parts meet
• Helps maintain proper airflow or fluid routing as designed
• Typical symptoms include leaks, condensation/frost near a joint, or new vibration noises

• One foam seal

• Disconnect power; turn off the water supply before service
• Note the original seal's routing/orientation before removal
• Clean and dry all mating surfaces; remove old foam and residue
• Install without stretching or over-compressing; ensure even contact with no gaps

U-type clip

This main wiring harness routes power and signals between controls, motors and other components to restore electrical connections and appliance function. It's a direct-fit harness designed for reliable circuit routing and secure plug-in connections. What it does:

• Connects control board, motor(s), switches and sensors so components communicate and receive power
• Replaces damaged, frayed or burned wires that can cause intermittent operation or complete failure
• Helps resolve symptoms like no power to components, intermittent cycles, or electrical arcing at connector points
• Maintains OEM-style connectors and color-coded wires for correct reconnection

• One complete main wire harness as shown

• Always disconnect power (unplug or shut off breaker) before accessing wiring
• Inspect connectors and mating components for damage; replace any burned or corroded parts
• Route harness per service diagram and secure with original clips/fasteners to avoid chafing

This mounting bracket is a replacement support bracket that secures appliance components and keeps assemblies aligned for reliable operation. It restores proper fit and helps prevent rattling or movement from loose fittings. What it does:

• Secures panels or assemblies to the appliance frame to maintain proper alignment
• Reduces vibration and rattling caused by loose or damaged supports
• Restores mounting points that prevent sagging or separation of connected parts
• Helps ensure stable operation after repairs involving removed or replaced hardware

• Follow the appliance service manual for exact location and fastener torque
• Disconnect power (and gas if applicable) before beginning any repair
• Use appropriate tools and replace any damaged screws or clips with OEM-equivalent fasteners

This fuse holder secures and connects a replaceable inline fuse to the appliance's electrical circuit, restoring overcurrent protection and helping prevent damage from short circuits or power surges. What it does:

• Holds and connects a replaceable fuse in the appliance's electrical circuit
• Completes the fuse's electrical connection so current flows through the protective element
• Replaces a cracked, burnt, or loose holder that causes intermittent power or blown fuses
• Helps restore proper overcurrent protection when the fuse itself is intact

• Disconnect power to the appliance before inspecting or replacing electrical parts.
• Inspect nearby wiring and connectors; replace any damaged components to ensure a secure connection.

This time-delay fuse protects the appliance's power circuit by opening when current exceeds a safe level while tolerating brief inrush current. Replacing a blown fuse can help restore power once the root cause is corrected. What it does:

• Protects the line and control circuits from shorts and overloads
• Time-delay design helps prevent nuisance opening during startup surges
• When open, the unit will be completely dead—no display, lights, or response
• Repeatedly opening usually indicates an unresolved electrical fault that needs diagnosis

• 1 time-delay fuse

• Disconnect power at the breaker before servicing; some appliances can retain dangerous high voltage
• Replace only with the same type and rating specified by the manufacturer
• Inspect the fuse holder and wiring for heat damage or loose connections before reassembly
• If the new fuse opens immediately, stop and diagnose the underlying cause; never bypass or upsize a fuse
