The Stove Top Drip Pan is an OEM replacement part for Whirlpool gas and electric ranges. It is located underneath the stove burners and grates to catch and contain grease drippings and spills. Over time, grease and cooking residue buildup can cause drip pans to crack, warp or corrode.

Symptoms of a bad stove top drip pan include:

• Grease spillovers outside of the drip pan area
• Flames or heating elements obstructed by built-up debris
• Warping or cracking of the pan surface
• Difficulty removing or cleaning the drip pan

Causes can be normal wear from heat and long-term grease exposure. Accidental damage during cleaning is also possible. 

 This OEM part is also compatible with Maytag, Jenn-Air, Amana and some Kenmore models. 

The Drip Pan (LG) is an OEM replacement part for Whirlpool ranges and ovens. It is a durable metal tray designed to catch any spills, drips, or boil-overs that may occur during the cooking process, helping to keep the oven cavity clean and preventing potential messes or smoke from burnt-on spills.

Symptoms of needing to replace the drip pan include:

• Warping or discoloration from excessive heat exposure
• Cracks or breaks in the pan material
• Difficulty sliding the pan in and out of its designated position

Causes of a drip pan failure can include general wear and tear from repeated use and high temperatures, physical damage from impact or abrasion, or corrosion or deterioration due to exposure to acidic food spills or cleaning agents.

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

This infinite switch controls power to a cooktop surface element, allowing precise low-to-high heat settings. Replace it if a burner won't heat, stays on high, or won't shut off when the knob is turned to OFF. What it does:

• Regulates voltage to the surface element by cycling power to match the knob setting
• Restores proper temperature control for the designated burner position
• Can address symptoms such as no heat, only high heat, erratic heating, or a burner that won't shut off
• Needed if the control shaft is stripped, broken, or difficult to turn

• One infinite switch

• Disconnect power at the breaker or unplug the appliance before service
• Remove the knob and access the control panel to reach the switch
• Transfer wires to the new switch one at a time, matching terminal markings
• Test burner operation at low and high settings before reassembly

• Many ranges use different switches for small vs. large elements or specific burner locations. Order by your full model number and burner position. A failed surface element or receptacle can mimic switch issues—test those if symptoms persist.

The Range Screw is an OEM part for Whirlpool ranges. It is a small but essential component used to secure various parts and panels of the range. It is designed to fit securely into pre-drilled holes, holding components tightly in place.

There are a few factors that can lead to a bad Range Screw. Over time, screws may become loose or stripped due to frequent use or inadequate tightening. Accidental cross-threading or overtightening can also damage the screw or the surrounding components.

Symptoms of a bad screw may include loose or wobbly parts, rattling noises during operation, or difficulty in keeping components securely attached. This OEM Whirlpool part can also be used on Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore/Sears brand appliances.

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

This mounting bracket is a replacement support bracket that secures appliance components and keeps assemblies aligned for reliable operation. It restores proper fit and helps prevent rattling or movement from loose fittings. What it does:
