Parts for Kitchenaid KOST100ESS02: Control Panel Parts

The Control Board is an OEM part for Whirlpool microwave and wall oven combinations. It is responsible for managing and coordinating the various functions of the appliance, including temperature regulation, cooking modes, and timing.

Over time, exposure to high heat and regular usage can lead to malfunctions. Physical damage or power surges can also cause the control board to fail.

Symptoms of a bad Control Board include:

• Unresponsive touchpad or display
• Inconsistent temperature control
• Error codes displayed
• The appliance not turning on or off properly

This OEM part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models.

The Thermal Fuse is an OEM part for Whirlpool electric wall ovens and ranges. It acts as a safety cutoff switch if excessive internal temperatures are reached.

Causes of a bad thermal fuse can involve repeated heating and cooling cycles degrading internal wiring contacts and insulation over many years. Physical damage during cleaning may also crack casing components.

Symptoms of a bad thermal fuse include:

• Inability to heat or maintain set temperatures
• Circuit breakers that trip unexpectedly  
• Visible burn marks near internal wiring
• Electronic displays or clocks that no longer function

Replacing with a Whirlpool OEM thermal fuse safeguards cooking elements from overheating while preserving appliance dependability. Compatible brands include KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, and select Kenmore wall oven models.

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:

• 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

• 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
