General Electric Cooktop Guard, Shield, Barrier Parts

This is a replacement protective shield designed to guard internal appliance components from heat, debris and contact damage. It helps maintain safe operation and prevents nearby parts from overheating or becoming contaminated. What it does:

• Protects sensitive components from heat and debris
• Helps maintain correct airflow and component clearance to support reliable operation
• A damaged or missing shield can lead to overheating, component damage, unusual odors or intermittent function
• Restores proper protection after corrosion, warping or physical damage

• Turn off power and, if applicable, gas supply before beginning work
• Handle carefully to avoid sharp edges; use appropriate gloves
• Confirm correct orientation and secure mounting to factory attachment points; do not force into place

This plastic barrier is a refrigerator air baffle that helps direct airflow and protect internal components for compatible GE units. Replacing a damaged barrier restores proper air direction and helps maintain even cooling. What it does

• Directs and channels cold air inside the compartment to help maintain consistent temperatures.
• Protects internal components from contact with food and debris.
• Prevents air leaks caused by cracked, warped, or missing barriers.
• Common symptom: uneven cooling or cold spots when the barrier is broken or out of position.

• One plastic barrier as shown.

• Disconnect power to the appliance before beginning work to avoid shock or injury.
• Remove shelves or trim as needed to access the barrier; handle plastic clips gently to avoid breakage.
• Align the barrier with mounting tabs and snap or secure into place without forcing.
• If clips are damaged, replace them to ensure a secure fit and proper airflow.

This heat shield protects the oven cavity by deflecting and absorbing excessive heat from the oven burner area to help prevent nearby components from overheating. It's a simple replacement for damaged or corroded shields. What it does

• Shields internal oven walls, wiring and insulation from direct burner heat
• Helps prevent premature failure of nearby parts caused by excessive heat
• Commonly replaced when the original is warped, rusted, dented or shows burn marks
• Can reduce hot spots that contribute to uneven cooking when left damaged

• One heat shield

• Disconnect electrical power (and shut off gas if applicable) before servicing
• Wear gloves to protect hands from sharp edges; handle carefully to avoid bending
• Do not force or modify
• If you see additional damage (wiring, insulation, or fasteners), address those issues before reassembly
