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

• 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.
