Parts for Magic Chef 31203PAA: 04 - Gas Controls Parts

This thermostat monitors temperature in the appliance's heating circuit and opens or closes the electrical contacts to control heat and protect against overheating. Replacing a failed thermostat restores consistent heating performance and reliable safety shutoff. What it does:

• Senses temperature and cycles the heating circuit on and off to maintain target heat
• Provides over-temperature protection by opening the circuit if conditions exceed safe limits
• Helps prevent nuisance shutdowns caused by erratic temperature readings
• Common failure symptoms include no heat, inaccurate temperatures, short-cycling, or shutdown during high heat

• 1 thermostat

• Disconnect power (and gas supply if applicable) before servicing; allow all components to cool completely
• Access the thermostat per your service manual; document wire locations and transfer one at a time
• Mount the thermostat securely so the sensing surface/bulb is correctly positioned; avoid kinking or pinching any leads
• After installation, verify proper operation and temperature performance

This sheet-metal pan-head screw secures appliance panels, brackets, and components to the cabinet or frame. Replacing a missing or damaged screw restores a tight fit and helps stop rattles, misalignment, and loosening.

• Fastens sheet-metal panels, covers, ducts, and brackets to the appliance chassis
• Helps keep components aligned and secure during operation
• Replace if the original is missing, rusted, stripped, or damaged
• Common symptoms: loose or vibrating panels, gaps or misaligned parts, hardware that won't tighten

• Disconnect power; shut off gas or water supply before servicing
• Support the panel or part being attached; hand-start threads to avoid cross-threading
• Use the correct driver bit; tighten snugly but do not overtighten into sheet metal
• If multiple matching screws secure a part, consider replacing them as a set for consistent hold

The Spark Module Kit is an OEM part for Whirlpool ranges. It is responsible for generating the spark needed to ignite the gas burners on the cooktop. The spark module sends electrical signals to the igniters, creating the spark that lights the gas for cooking. 

Over time, the spark module can fail due to electrical issues, exposure to moisture, or normal wear and tear. When the spark module becomes faulty, it can lead to various problems with igniting the burners.

Symptoms of a bad spark module include:

• Burners not lighting or taking a long time to light
• No clicking sound when turning the burner knob
• Burners only lighting intermittently
• Visible sparks or arcing from the module

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

NOTE: This part is only compatible with serial numbers starting with 21 and up on model 8351VV.

The Top Burner Spark Igniter is an OEM part for Whirlpool ranges. It is responsible for igniting the gas on the stove burners, allowing you to start cooking quickly and efficiently. The spark igniter produces a spark that lights the gas, providing the flame needed for cooking.

Causes of a bad igniter can include wear and tear over time, buildup of food debris or grease that interferes with the spark, or electrical issues that prevent the igniter from generating a spark.

Symptoms of a bad Top Burner Spark Igniter include:

• Burner not igniting
• Weak or no spark
• Clicking sound without ignition
• Delayed ignition of the burner

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

Size: 10-24 x 3/8 inch.

The Flat Style Oven Igniter Kit is an OEM part for Whirlpool ovens. It is designed to ignite the gas in the oven burner, facilitating the start of the heating process. This igniter is crucial for ensuring your oven heats up quickly and efficiently, providing the necessary flame for cooking and baking.

Symptoms of a bad Oven Igniter include:

• The oven failing to heat up or taking a long time to reach the desired temperature.
• A noticeable gas smell when the oven is turned on, indicating the gas is not igniting.
• The igniter glowing without producing a flame, which can point to a lack of adequate temperature to ignite the gas.

Causes of a bad oven igniter can include the wear and breakdown of the igniter element over time, a faulty electrical connection, or a disruption in the gas supply.

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

This wing nut is a hand-tightening fastener used to secure small appliance components for easy tool-free adjustment or removal. It offers a simple replacement when the original nut is lost, stripped, or broken. What it does:

• Secures panels, brackets, or components that require occasional removal or adjustment
• Allows tool-free tightening and loosening with built-in wings for finger grip
• Restores proper fit where a missing or damaged nut causes rattling, looseness, or instability
• Designed for repeated hand-operation without specialized tools

• Disconnect power to the appliance before performing any work to avoid shock or injury
• Thread by hand until snug; avoid overtightening to prevent stripping threads or cracking surrounding parts
• Inspect mating threads and replace if damaged to ensure secure fastening
• Use appropriate size and thread type—do not force a mismatched nut onto the stud

Replace a worn or clogged gas burner orifice with this orifice fitting assembly to restore clean, controlled flame. It meters gas to the burner for reliable ignition and accurate flame size.

• Meters gas flow from the valve/manifold to the burner
• Supports reliable ignition and a stable, properly sized flame
• Common symptoms of a clogged or damaged orifice: weak or uneven flame, yellow tips, delayed ignition, or burner not lighting
• Replace if the fitting/orifice is stripped, deformed, or otherwise damaged

• Shut off the gas supply and disconnect power before servicing; allow the appliance to cool
• Access the orifice per your model's service instructions; remove burner components as needed
• Use the correct wrench; avoid cross-threading and do not overtighten
• After reassembly, restore gas and check all joints for leaks with a bubble solution; perform fuel-type conversions only with the proper kit and instructions
