This 4.0x16mm tapping screw secures trim and internal components on compatible appliances, providing a reliable fastener for repair or reassembly. Use the correct screw to maintain fit and function during service. What it does:

• Fastens appliance panels, brackets, and small components where a self-tapping thread is required
• Replaces stripped or missing screws that cause loose panels or rattling
• Helps restore proper alignment and secure electrical or mechanical parts
• Suitable where a 4.0 x 16mm size and tapping/sharp thread are specified

• One 4.0x16mm tapping screw (quantity: 1)

• Use the matching screw location and thread engagement; do not force a misaligned fastener
• Tighten until seated; avoid over-torquing which can strip threads or crack plastic
• Disconnect power and follow appliance safety procedures before servicing
• If screws repeatedly strip, inspect mating threads or use an approved repair insert

This heater assembly replaces the dryer's heating unit to restore normal drying performance and consistent drum temperatures. It's a direct-fit replacement designed to match the OEM heater layout and electrical connections. What it does:

• Reheats incoming air so the dryer can remove moisture from clothes.
• Works with the dryer's blower and thermostat to maintain operating temperature.
• Commonly used when the dryer produces little or no heat, or runs long cycles.
• Helps resolve intermittent heating caused by a failed heating element or broken heater housing.

• Disconnect power (unplug or shut off breaker) before starting any repair.
• Access requires removing the dryer cabinet or rear panel; follow OEM disassembly steps.
• Inspect related parts (thermal fuse, high-limit thermostat, wiring, connectors) for damage while replacing the heater.

The Glass Cooktop Assembly is an OEM part for LG ranges. This part provides a sleek and modern surface for cooking, combining elegance with functionality. The assembly features a smooth glass surface that facilitates easy cleaning and efficient heat distribution.

Symptoms of a bad Glass Cooktop Assembly include:

• Cracks or chips in the glass surface
• Burners not heating properly or evenly
• Unresponsive controls or indicators
• Stains or discoloration that cannot be removed

This OEM LG part is also compatible with some Kenmore models.

Restore consistent heat to your smooth-top range. This radiant surface element sits beneath the glass-ceramic cooktop and provides the controlled heat needed for boiling, simmering, and sautéing when the surface control sends power. What it does:

• Generates radiant heat beneath the glass cooking surface when energized
• Works with the surface control to reach and maintain the set temperature
• Helps address a burner that won't heat or only heats intermittently
• Replaces a failed or visibly damaged element to restore proper cooking performance

• One radiant surface heating element

• Disconnect power by unplugging the appliance or switching off the circuit breaker before servicing
• Lift and support the glass cooktop per your model's service procedure to access the elements
• Note wire locations; transfer any brackets or clips from the old element to the new one
• Handle carefully and avoid flexing the heating coil; ensure the element sits level before reassembly

This radiant surface element mounts beneath the glass cooktop to heat a surface burner. Replace it when a burner won't heat or heats intermittently to restore normal, consistent cooking performance.

• Generates radiant heat under the glass-ceramic top for a surface burner
• Cycles on and off to help maintain the set temperature
• Typical failure signs: no heat, intermittent heat, or visible damage to the element/terminals
• Used on electric ranges and glass cooktops

• Disconnect power at the breaker and allow the cooktop to cool fully before service
• Lift/hinge the glass top and support it to avoid stress or cracks
• Note wire positions; transfer any mounting clips/brackets from the old element to the new
• Ensure the element sits level under the glass and all connections are secure before reassembly

The PCB Assembly is an OEM component for LG ranges. It is the circuit board responsible for controlling critical range functions such as the oven, cooking elements, and display. 

Symptoms of a bad PCB assembly can include: 

• Range elements not working properly 
• Display malfunctions or failures 
• Improper functioning of oven features like bake, broil, and convection modes 

Causes of a bad circuit board tend to be normal wear and tear over time from heavy usage and heat exposure during cooking. Occasional power surges or fluctuations can also potentially cause circuit damage. 

This OEM LG part is also compatible with Sears/Kenmore.
