• 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

• 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

Replacement electronic control board for the oven's main control. Restores display, clock and cycle control so bake, broil and self-clean functions respond correctly and controls accept user inputs. What it does:

• Manages oven functions and user interface so bake, broil, broiler, timer and self-clean cycles run as selected.
• Sends signals to heating elements and sensors to regulate temperature and cycle timing.
• Replaces a failed or erratic control that causes unresponsive buttons, incorrect display/clock behavior, or ovens that won't start cycles.
• Works with the oven's existing wiring and components to restore normal operation when the control is the confirmed fault.

• Disconnect power at the breaker before starting—this part is wired to live voltages.
• Note or photograph wiring connections before removal to ensure correct reassembly.
• Handle the board carefully to avoid static damage; mount and fasten in the original location.

This electronic control board coordinates the oven's heating modes and display. Replacing a failed board restores accurate temperature control and responsive controls so your wall oven or range operates reliably again.

• Regulates bake, broil, and convection outputs based on sensor feedback; failures can cause no heat, temperature swings, or cycles that won't start.
• Manages the display, clock, and keypad interface; faults may leave the controls unresponsive or the display blank or dim.
• Controls self-clean and door lock functions; issues here can prevent locking/unlocking or abort a clean cycle.
• Monitors inputs and relays and can trigger error codes when problems are detected.

• Disconnect power at the breaker before servicing.
• Use anti-static protection and handle the board by the edges.
• Access is typically behind the control panel; label/photograph wiring and move connectors one at a time to the new board.

The Whirlpool spark module is an OEM replacement part responsible for controlling the ignition and sparking of the gas burners in a Whirlpool range or cooktop. The spark module is typically located behind the control panel or near the burners, and it generates the electrical sparks needed to ignite the gas for cooking.

Causes of a bad module can include electrical surges, physical damage, or simply wear and tear over time.

This part fixes the following symptoms:

• Gas burners fail to ignite or have weak or inconsistent sparks
• Continuous sparking even after the burner is lit
• No spark at all when attempting to ignite the burners
• Unresponsive or non-functional burner control knobs
• Visible damage, such as burn marks or corrosion, on the spark module

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