This electronic control module generates and manages ignition spark for DSI-equipped gas ovens/ranges. Replacing a failed unit restores reliable burner lighting and can resolve issues such as no spark, repeated clicking, or the oven/broiler not igniting.

• Generates high-voltage pulses to ignite gas at the DSI electrodes
• Times and controls ignition cycles; energizes the gas valve only during commanded ignition
• Monitors flame presence through the sense circuit and may retry or lock out if ignition fails
• Common symptoms of failure: oven or broiler won't ignite/heat, no clicking/spark, intermittent ignition, or continuous clicking
• Intended for models that use direct-spark (DSI) ignition systems, not glow-bar/hot-surface igniters

• Disconnect power and shut off gas supply before servicing
• Handle the control as an electrostatic-sensitive device; avoid touching terminals
• Transfer wires one at a time and mount the module securely with a proper ground
• After reassembly, restore utilities and verify normal ignition operation

This heat shield protects oven or range components from direct heat, helping prevent damage to nearby panels and wiring. It's a direct-replacement exterior shield used when existing metal shields are warped, cracked, or missing. What it does:

• Diverts and dissipates heat away from control panels, insulation, or adjacent components
• Helps stop heat-related discoloration, warping, or premature wear of nearby parts
• Restores proper clearance and airflow around the oven cavity after shield damage
• Commonly replaced when you see scorched areas, melted trim, or gaps where a shield once sat

• One heat shield (exact shape and mounting holes as shown in OEM diagram)

• Disconnect electrical power (and gas, if applicable) before starting any repair
• Remove oven racks and any trim panels to access the shield; keep track of fasteners
• Compare the replacement to the removed part to confirm fit before fastening
• If mounting hardware is damaged or missing, procure correct OEM fasteners — only the shield is guaranteed to ship

This spark module supplies the high-voltage pulses that ignite the surface burners on a gas cooktop or range. Replacing a failing module helps restore consistent clicking and spark so burners light promptly and reliably.

• Supplies high-voltage to up to five surface igniters (5+0 configuration)
• Sends spark when a burner control is turned to Lite
• Failure symptoms can include no spark on all or multiple burners
• May also cause intermittent/weak spark or continuous clicking

• Disconnect power and shut off gas before servicing
• Note wire locations; move one connector at a time to matching terminals
• Mount securely in the original position and ensure proper grounding
• After replacement, if only one burner won't ignite, inspect that burner's switch and igniter

This factory screw secures appliance components to their mounting points. Replace missing, worn, or stripped hardware to restore a tight fit, proper alignment, and quieter operation across the affected assembly.

• Fastens panels, brackets, covers, or internal parts to the chassis or frame
• Helps maintain alignment and support, reducing rattle, vibration, or looseness
• Replaces missing or damaged screws that have backed out, broken, or stripped
• Restores secure mounting after service when original hardware is lost

• Disconnect power; shut off water or gas supplies before servicing
• Use the correct driver; start threads by hand to avoid cross-threading
• Match length and thread to the original location; do not substitute with longer hardware
• Tighten snugly; do not overtighten into plastic or thin metal
