The Control Panel is an OEM part for Whirlpool ranges. As the interface between the user and appliance, the control panel is responsible for housing all of the electronic controls and display that allow for selection and monitoring of oven functions like temperature, bake time, locks, and timers.

Causes of a bad control panel can include cracked or worn buttons or displays that no longer register touch input properly. Splashing liquids or steam exposure over time can cause internal circuitry issues as well.

Symptoms of a bad control panel include:

• Unresponsive or malfunctioning buttons
• Fading or inaccurate displays
• Error codes indicating electrical faults
• Inability to properly turn elements or functions on/off

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

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 electronic control board is the appliance's main control module. It interprets inputs and directs power to key components, helping restore proper operation, cycle timing, and reliable response to the controls when the original board fails.

• Coordinates inputs from sensors and the user interface to run programmed operations
• Switches loads (via onboard relays/triacs) to power components as designed
• Manages timing, targets, and safety interlocks for consistent performance
• Common symptoms of a failed board: unit won't start or respond, dead/unlit display, cycles that won't advance, random beeping or error codes, intermittent operation

• Disconnect power (unplug or switch off breaker) before servicing
• Handle as an ESD-sensitive component; avoid touching traces and pins
• Photograph connections and move harnesses one at a time to matching terminals
• Some models require programming or calibration after install—follow the unit's tech sheet or service manual procedures

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

This mounting bracket secures appliance components and panels to keep assemblies aligned and stable, helping prevent rattles and loose parts. It's a simple replacement that restores proper fit and support where the original bracket has failed. What it does:

• Provides rigid support for internal components or exterior panels to maintain alignment
• Stops vibration and rattling caused by a broken or bent bracket
• Restores secure attachment points for screws and fasteners
• Helps prevent additional wear from loose parts moving during operation

• Always unplug the appliance or disconnect power before starting any repair
• Remove necessary access panels to reach the damaged bracket; keep track of fasteners
• Reuse original screws if undamaged; replace stripped or corroded fasteners
• If alignment issues persist after installation, recheck fit and mounting points for damage

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.
