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

• 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 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.

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.
