This light transformer (20VA) steps down incoming voltage for the appliance's light circuit. Replace a failing transformer to restore dependable illumination so you can monitor cooking progress and see clearly when cleaning.

• Steps down line voltage to the lower voltage used by the light circuit
• Supports consistent, reliable interior lighting
• A failed transformer can leave the light inoperative even with a good bulb
• Intermittent operation or flickering can indicate a weakening transformer

• Disconnect power at the breaker or unplug the unit before servicing
• Access and mounting location vary by model; note wiring and orientation before removal
• Move wires one at a time to the matching terminals/leads on the new transformer
• Secure the transformer and route wiring away from hot or moving parts; test light operation before reassembly

This ground screw secures the appliance grounding conductor to the chassis for a reliable electrical ground connection, helping maintain safety and proper operation. It's a direct-fit fastener used where a dedicated ground screw is required. What it does

• Fastens the grounding conductor to the appliance frame to maintain a secure earth/ground connection.
• Helps prevent electrical shock and reduces risk of stray voltage on the chassis.
• Addresses symptoms like intermittent or absent grounding and loose or corroded ground connections.
• Used wherever the original equipment grounding screw has been lost, damaged, or corroded.

• Disconnect power at the breaker and unplug the appliance before starting any work.
• Only attach to designated grounding points on the chassis; ensure the mating surface is clean and free of paint or corrosion.
• Use the correct driver and moderate hand torque—do not overtighten to avoid stripping threads.

This high-limit thermostat is a temperature safety switch that helps prevent overheating by opening the circuit when temperatures exceed safe limits. It restores normal operation once the temperature cools, protecting the appliance and reducing fire risk. What it does:

• Monitors internal temperature and opens the circuit if heat gets too high
• Prevents overheating that can cause damage or burn odors
• Commonly replaces a failed or intermittently tripping thermal safety switch
• Works as part of the appliance's temperature-safety system, not a primary temperature control

• Disconnect power to the appliance before attempting replacement
• Observe proper wiring orientation and secure terminal connections
• Replace only with the exact part specified for your appliance

This is a Whirlpool cooktop control board. It manages and monitors burner temperatures. The control board can short out due to power surge or exposure to excessive heat. If the user interface is blank or not responding to input, the control board has likely shorted out.Before installing this part, be sure to cut power to the appliance and allow it to cool completely. The glass cooking surface must be removed to access the control board, and so it may be easier to complete this repair by removing the cooktop from the counter. Beneath the glass cooking surface, the control board is held in place by mounting studs, which can be removed with needle nose pliers. Disconnect any wire harnesses connected to it and remove any screws mounting it in place before installing the new part.This is a genuine OEM part compatible with cooktops manufactured by Jenn-Air, but may also work with other Whirlpool brands, including Maytag, KitchenAid, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and others. This product contains no additional parts or hardware.

This surface heating element replaces a failed top burner to restore stovetop heating for cooking. It installs into the cooktop and provides the heating surface that transfers heat to cookware. What it does:

• Heats cookware when the stove element control is on
• Restores a burner that does not heat or only heats intermittently
• Replaces elements that show visible damage, breaks, or do not glow when powered
• Helps correct uneven heating or inconsistent temperature at one burner

• Includes one surface heating element

• Disconnect power to the range at the breaker before beginning repair
• Allow the cooktop and element to cool completely before handling
• Handle terminals carefully and reconnect using the original wiring and hardware
• After installation, test the burner on low and high settings to ensure proper operation

This surface heating element replaces a failed top burner coil to restore even cooking and proper heat at the stove surface. It fits into a standard cooktop receptacle and reconnects to the range's power terminals. What it does:

• Heats cookware when the burner is energized so pots and pans can cook or boil
• Replaces coils that no longer reach set temperatures or take too long to heat
• Restores a burner that clicks, sparks, or shows visible damage at the coil
• Helps eliminate uneven heating or intermittent on/off operation tied to a bad element

• Disconnect power at the breaker or unplug the range before servicing
• Allow the old element to cool completely before removing or handling
• Slide the element out of the receptacle and disconnect terminals; align and reconnect the replacement
• If terminals or the receptacle are damaged or corroded, replace those parts before use

This dual radiant surface element restores even, responsive heat to a smooth-top range or cooktop. It replaces a failed burner so the inner and outer rings heat correctly for dependable everyday cooking.

• Provides heat to a dual-size cooking zone beneath the glass surface
• Works with the surface control to use the inner ring alone or both inner and outer rings
• Common symptoms: burner won't heat, only one ring heats, slow or uneven heating, visible scorching or damage on the element
• Helps restore consistent temperature control and full dual-ring operation

• Disconnect power at the breaker before servicing; elements carry high current
• Lift or remove the cooktop to access the element
• Note wire locations and transfer any mounting brackets/clips from the old element
• Center the element under the burner outline and secure all connections before restoring power
