This control panel is the main user console that houses the oven/range controls and display, restoring full command of cooking functions and settings. It replaces a damaged or unresponsive front console assembly. What it does:

• Provides the user interface for selecting oven and cooktop functions, timers, and settings
• Houses the display and keypad/buttons for entering commands
• Restores control when buttons are stuck, unresponsive, or the display is blank/dim
• Interfaces with the range/oven control board to transmit user inputs

• One control panel (console) assembly

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting any repair to avoid shock or damage
• Handle the panel and any glass/display areas carefully to avoid scratching or cracking
• Typical installation requires removal of the oven/range front trim and a few screws; refer to the service manual for model-specific steps

This factory screw secures panels, brackets, or trim within your appliance. Replacing a missing or stripped fastener restores a tight fit, reduces vibration and rattles, and helps keep components aligned for reliable, long-term performance.

• Fastens panels, brackets, or trim to the appliance cabinet/frame
• Replaces damaged, rusted, or missing hardware
• Helps eliminate vibration noises, gaps, and loose-fitting parts
• Supports proper alignment of adjoining components

• Disconnect power; turn off gas/water supplies where applicable.
• Match to the original screw from your model's parts diagram before installation.
• Start threads by hand to avoid cross-threading; use the correct driver bit for the head.
• Tighten snugly—do not overtighten to prevent stripping threads or cracking plastic bosses.

This electronic control board replaces a failed oven/range console control to restore display, timer and cycle control. It secures the unit's user interface and coordinates oven functions for reliable cooking performance. What it does:

• Receives inputs from the touchpad/knobs and controls oven heating cycles and timers
• Powers and drives the LED/display so clock and settings appear correctly
• Manages bake/broil and oven temperature signals sent to relays or control modules
• Common symptom fix: blank or unresponsive display, failure to start, or erratic cycle behavior

• Disconnect power at the breaker or unplug the appliance before service to avoid shock
• Handle the board by edges; avoid touching components and use anti-static precautions
• Reassemble panels and test functions after restoring power; for detailed steps

A shoulder screw that secures appliance components and provides a precise pivot or spacer point. Replaces a missing or worn screw to restore alignment, reduce rattling, and keep panels and assemblies securely in place. What it does:

• Provides a fixed-diameter shoulder for pivots, spacers, or mounting points in assemblies.
• Holds panels and moving components at the correct distance to prevent binding or friction.
• A missing or worn shoulder screw can cause misalignment, rattling, or loose parts during operation.
• Used where a smooth-bearing surface and controlled clearance are required between parts.

• Disconnect power to the appliance (unplug or shut off breaker) before servicing.
• Handle small fasteners carefully to avoid dropping into assemblies; magnetic pickup tools can help.
• Start threads by hand to avoid cross-threading; tighten snugly but avoid overtightening.
