Parts for Whirlpool RCS2012RS07: 01 - Cooktop Parts

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 infinite switch controls the heat settings for a cooktop surface burner, letting you adjust burner output from low to high for everyday cooking. It replaces a faulty control to restore variable heat regulation. What it does:

• Regulates power to a surface burner so you can set low, simmer, or high heat
• Replaces a worn or failed infinite control that causes a burner to not heat
• Addresses symptoms like a burner that won't change heat levels, stays off, or is stuck on
• Works with standard surface elements that use an infinite-style control

• Disconnect power to the range before testing or replacing the switch
• Handle glass cooktops carefully; avoid scratching or damaging the surface

The Stove Top Drip Pan is an OEM replacement part for Whirlpool ranges. It is the shallow metal pan located below the stove burner elements that collect grease and food particles. The drip pan helps direct spills and drips away from the burner area to the bottom drawer for easy cleanup. 

Symptoms of a bad drip pan include:

• Grease or food spilling below the burners outside of the pan
• Burner elements showing signs of corrosion or damage from drips
• The drip pan no longer fitting properly or securely in place

Causes can be warping or damage of the drip pan over time due to exposure to heat. Dents and structural changes compromise its ability to direct drips properly.

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

This drip pan measures about 7-2/3 inches in diameter. Matching 8 inch drip bowl: WPW10196405. Same drip bowls in porcelain black: 6 inch W10290353RW and 8 inch WPW10290350. You may also consider buying a second set for when company comes over or for the holidays.
