The Spark Module is an OEM replacement part for Whirlpool gas ranges. It is responsible for generating the spark necessary to ignite the gas burners on your cooktop, ensuring reliable and consistent ignition every time. It controls the timing and distribution of the sparks, allowing for the proper ignition of each burner.

Symptoms of a faulty spark module include:

• No spark or ignition when turning on the burners
• Weak or intermittent sparks
• Difficulty in lighting the burners consistently

A bad spark module can occur due to electrical malfunctions, wear and tear over time, or exposure to moisture or grease. If you experience issues such as no spark at all, weak or intermittent sparks, or difficulty in igniting the burners, it may be time to replace the old or damaged spark module with this genuine OEM part.

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

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

The Control Board is an OEM component specifically designed for Whirlpool gas ranges. Located within the control panel, the control board features electronic components and circuitry that allow the operation of the range's various functions including oven, surface burner, and timer controls. 

The control board receives input signals from control knobs and buttons to coordinate precise timing and temperature regulation during cooking cycles. It communicates adjustments to gas valves, ignitors, fans, and other heating elements through a network of wires and connections.

Symptoms of a bad control board include:  

• Failure to ignite burners or heat the oven
• Unresponsive or inaccurate control dials 
• Constant blinking display or error codes
• Inability to set or keep temperature settings

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

The Cntrl-Elec (Control-Electric) is an OEM component specifically designed for Whirlpool gas ranges. It is the electric control board that regulates and monitors all burner and oven functions. 

Causes of a bad control board can include moisture damage, thermal stress over time, or component failure due to normal electrical load.

Symptoms of a bad control board include:

• Unresponsive or intermittent burners that will not ignite 
• Inability to properly regulate oven temperature
• Erratic or unpredictable oven and burner operation
• Constant error codes or failure indications

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

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
