Parts for Electrolux EFME417SIW0: 04 - Controls / Top Panel Parts

This electronic control board replaces a failed or unresponsive main controller to restore user interface and automatic functions. It receives inputs from the console and sensors and tells the appliance when to run cycles and features. What it does:

• Processes commands from the control panel so buttons, knobs, and display respond correctly
• Controls timing, cycles and major functions for consistent operation
• Communicates with sensors and power components to start and stop motors/heaters
• Can stop proper operation when damaged — symptoms include no display, unresponsive controls, error codes, or erratic cycle behavior

• Disconnect power to the appliance before attempting any service to avoid electric shock
• Handle the board carefully; avoid touching circuitry and use anti-static precautions if available
• Reconnect all harnesses and mounts exactly as removed; confirm connectors are fully seated

This top panel in white restores the oven/stove's upper exterior, improving appearance and protecting internal components from spills and debris. It's a direct-replacement exterior shell piece designed to match original fit and finish. What it does:

• Replaces a cracked, warped, dented, or discolored upper cabinet panel
• Protects control housing and internal components from grease, spills, and dust
• Restores a flush, finished look to the appliance top and backguard area
• Helps maintain proper alignment for control and trim pieces

• Disconnect power to the appliance before beginning any work
• Typical removal requires removing screws and lifting the old panel straight out; keep mounting hardware
• Handle edges carefully to avoid cuts and protect the painted finish during installation

This damper is the refrigerator air-control flap that regulates airflow between compartments to help maintain consistent temperatures and proper cooling. It replaces a worn or stuck damper to restore normal airflow and temperature balance. What it does:

• Opens and closes to direct cold air where needed between freezer and fresh-food sections
• Helps maintain even temperatures and prevents one compartment from getting too warm
• Common symptom: uneven cooling or warm fresh-food section despite running compressor
• Common symptom: damper stuck or not moving, causing poor temperature control

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting any repair
• Remove interior panels to access the damper; use basic hand tools
• Handle the damper and any wiring harness carefully to avoid damage
• After installation, verify damper operation and allow time for temperatures to stabilize

The Harness is an OEM replacement part for Frigidaire clothes dryers. It consists of bundled wiring that connects control boards to other electrical components throughout the unit. 

Causes of failure include normal wear from vibration in motion, as well as damage due to cracks from over-bending during installs. Heat aging and moisture intrusion risks also increase with time.

Signs of a bad harness include:

• Dryer not powering on or not heating properly
• Intermittent reactions to control inputs  
• Frayed cables or conducting tape visible
• Electrical burning smells when operating

This OEM Frigidaire part is also compatible with Electrolux, Gibson, Kelvinator and some Kenmore models.

This factory 8-18 screw secures appliance panels, brackets, and components. Replace missing or stripped hardware to restore a tight, rattle-free assembly and dependable operation.

• Fastens components to frames, brackets, and covers
• Replaces missing, damaged, or rusted screws
• Helps reduce looseness, vibration, and rattling noises
• Restores proper alignment of panels and assemblies

• Disconnect power before servicing; shut off gas/water if applicable
• Start the screw by hand to avoid cross-threading; use the proper driver
• Tighten snugly—do not overtighten to prevent stripping metal or plastic
