Parts for Modern Maid FDU1862B/P1131908: Electrical Components (Fdu1862ww / P1131909) (Fdu1862b / P1131908) Parts

This lower bake element supplies the primary heat for Bake cycles, restoring consistent oven temperatures and even results. Replace a burned-out or damaged element to resolve no-heat on Bake, extended preheat times, and undercooked food.

• Heats the oven cavity from the bottom during Bake cycles for proper cooking
• Restores heat when the original element is burned out or broken
• Common symptoms: no heat on Bake, very long preheat, uneven or undercooked results
• Visible damage such as blistering, cracks, or breaks indicates replacement

• Disconnect power at the breaker before servicing
• Remove oven racks, take out the element's mounting screws, and gently pull the element forward
• Transfer the two wires one at a time; do not allow wires to slip behind the oven liner
• Reinstall the element and screws, restore power, and test Bake

This temperature sensor monitors internal temperature and relays it to the control so heating or cooling can be regulated. Replacing a faulty sensor helps restore accurate temperature control, consistent cycling, and dependable performance. What it does

• Measures compartment or cavity temperature and sends a signal to the control
• Helps the unit reach and maintain the set temperature
• Common failure symptoms: temperature too hot/cold vs. setting, long/short cycling, failure to reach setpoint, or related error codes
• Tests out-of-range for resistance/ohms when defective

• 1 temperature sensor

• Disconnect power before servicing; shut off gas
• Access the sensor; note wire routing and connector orientation
• Do not pull on wires; transfer any clips, grommets, or brackets from the old sensor
• Restore power and run any model-specific diagnostics or calibration if required

This terminal block is the insulated connection point where the appliance's incoming power ties into the internal wiring. Replacing a heat-damaged or loose block restores a safe, reliable electrical path and helps prevent arcing and intermittent power loss.

• Connects the supply conductors to the unit's internal wiring
• Provides insulated posts to securely fasten and distribute power
• Helps maintain tight, low-resistance connections
• Common failure signs: melted/discolored plastic, burned or loose terminals, arcing, scorching, or intermittent/no power after confirming the cord and breaker

• Disconnect power at the breaker or unplug the appliance; verify no voltage before servicing
• Photograph or label wire positions to ensure correct reassembly
• Inspect and replace any heat-damaged wire ends or lugs; use appropriate terminals
• Tighten connections securely and ensure wires are fully seated and strain-relieved as originally installed

This part has been discontinued and is no longer available.

This is a genuine replacement mounting screw used to secure appliance panels and components. It restores proper fastening to reduce vibration and prevent parts from loosening during normal operation. What it does:

• Secures panels, brackets, or trim to the appliance frame
• Prevents rattling or vibration caused by loose fasteners
• Keeps wiring and small components held in place
• Helps maintain proper alignment of removable parts

• Disconnect power to the appliance before servicing
• Use the correct screwdriver or bit to avoid stripping the head
• Start threads by hand, then tighten until snug; do not overtighten
• Keep removed fasteners organized to ensure correct reassembly

This dryer power cord connects your electric dryer to a compatible 3-wire outlet, restoring a secure power supply. Replace a worn or damaged cord to help prevent intermittent power loss and ensure reliable, safe operation.

• Supplies electrical power from a 3-prong receptacle to the dryer
• Replaces cords with cracked insulation, burn marks, or loose/wobbly plug blades
• Can help with symptoms like the dryer not starting or losing power when the cord is moved
• Supports a solid, heat-resistant connection when installed correctly with proper strain relief

• Disconnect power and turn off the circuit breaker before servicing
• Match the cord to your receptacle; use a 3-wire cord only where permitted by local codes
• Attach leads to the terminal block per the appliance's wiring diagram; tighten terminals securely
• Use an approved strain relief to secure the cord at the cabinet entry and prevent wire stress

The Screw is an OEM part for Whirlpool appliances. This specific screw is used in various locations within Whirlpool appliances, securing components and ensuring the stability and proper alignment of parts. It is designed to fit precisely and maintain a firm hold, contributing to the overall functionality and safety of the appliance.

Over time, screws can become worn or stripped due to regular use, corrosion, or over-tightening. 

Causes of a bad screw include wear and tear, exposure to moisture leading to rust, and over-tightening which can strip the threads.

Symptoms of a bad screw include:

• Loose or wobbly components
• Misalignment of parts
• Noise due to vibrating or loose parts
• Difficulty in securing or removing the screw

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

This machine screw is used across appliances to secure brackets, covers, and internal components. Replacing a missing or stripped fastener helps keep parts aligned and tight, reducing vibration and preventing loose or shifting assemblies.

• Provides machine-thread fastening for panels, brackets, and internal parts
• Helps eliminate rattling, vibration, and loose fits
• Restores proper attachment when the original screw is stripped, missing, or corroded
• Used wherever an 8-32 screw is specified in the service manual or parts list

• Disconnect power to the appliance; turn off gas/water if applicable
• Match the screw to the original location to confirm size and thread
• Start threads by hand to avoid cross-threading; use the correct driver
• Tighten snugly—do not overtighten to prevent stripping or cracking

The Terminal Block is an OEM part for Whirlpool ranges. It serves as a crucial connection point for the range’s electrical wiring, ensuring a safe and reliable transfer of power to the appliance.

Over time, terminal blocks can deteriorate due to factors such as heat exposure, electrical surges, or wear and tear. When the terminal block becomes damaged or corroded, it can lead to poor electrical connections or potential safety hazards.

Symptoms of a bad terminal block include:

• Burnt or scorched connections
• Intermittent power loss to the range
• Difficulty in the range heating up properly
• Visible damage or corrosion on the terminal block

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