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 replacement screw secures appliance panels and components so they stay tight and aligned during use. Replacing a missing or damaged screw restores a solid fit and helps eliminate rattles, loose trim, or shifting parts.

• Fastens brackets, panels, trim, or components to the appliance chassis
• Helps correct loose or missing hardware after vibration or service
• Replaces stripped, rusted, or broken screws
• Can reduce rattling noises or misaligned parts caused by missing fasteners

• Disconnect power; for gas appliances, also shut off the gas supply
• Support the part being fastened; start threads by hand to avoid cross-threading
• Use the correct driver size; tighten snugly without overtightening
• Replace hardware with the exact part number to ensure proper fit

This membrane switch touch pad is the user interface that sends button presses to the appliance control board, restoring reliable control for selections and cycles. It replaces a worn or unresponsive flat touchpad assembly. What it does:

• Registers user button presses and relays signals to the control board for selections and cycle starts
• Restores responsiveness when buttons are unresponsive, intermittent, or don't register commands
• Replaces a cracked, worn, or faded touch surface that makes controls hard to use
• Works with the appliance's existing control electronics—does not include electronics beyond the membrane

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting any repair to avoid shock or damage
• Handle the membrane gently; avoid bending or creasing the contacts and ribbon cable
• Align the pad carefully with the control panel and secure per the appliance's service instructions
• After installation, restore power and test all buttons and cycle functions; if problems persist, check the control board and connections.

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
