This broil element replaces the upper heating element in a conventional oven to restore broiling performance and even top-heat cooking. It fits into the oven cavity and connects to the existing element terminals for direct heating. What it does:

• Heats from the top of the oven to create intense, direct heat for broiling and finishing dishes
• Restores proper browning and crisping when the broil function fails
• Can resolve symptoms such as no broil heat, uneven top heating, or visible element damage
• Works with the oven's existing wiring and mounting points for straightforward replacement

• One broil element

• Disconnect power to the appliance at the breaker before starting any repair
• Allow the oven to cool completely and remove oven racks for access
• Handle the element by its insulated terminals; secure wiring connections and mounting screws firmly

A hex locknut used to secure rotating shafts and threaded fasteners on compatible appliances. Small but critical, it keeps components held firmly in place to prevent loosening during normal operation. What it does:

• Secures shafts, pulleys, or control components to prevent axial movement
• Stops parts from working loose due to vibration or regular use
• Can resolve symptoms like noisy operation, wobbling parts, or loose knobs/assemblies
• Provides a reliable threaded connection when paired with the correct mating fastener

• One hex locknut (quantity: 1)

• Disconnect power and, if applicable, unplug appliance before starting any repair
• Use the correct wrench or socket size and tighten until snug—avoid overtightening
• If access requires disassembly, keep track of removed parts.

The Rack is an OEM part for Whirlpool ranges. Manufactured from heavy-duty steel, it provides a sturdy sliding shelf to support bakeware of all sizes during cooking cycles. With its precise leveling and sliding abilities, the rack allows for flexible use of the oven's full interior space.

Symptoms of a bad rack may include warping or sagging from prolonged heat exposure, dents or cracks along the surfaces from mishandling, or difficulties leveling or smoothly sliding in and out.

Symptoms of a bad rack include:

• Foods not baking evenly due to rack warping  
• Rough sliding or rack getting stuck when lifting in/out
• Cracks or sharp edges presenting a safety risk
• Inability to bear the weight of standard baking items

This OEM Whirlpool replacement part is compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, and select Kenmore models.

This bake element replaces the oven's lower heating element to restore normal baking heat and even cooking results. It fits compatible electric ovens and is a direct-replacement designed for safe, reliable operation. What it does:

• Heats during bake cycles to provide consistent oven temperature for cooking and baking
• Common fix when the oven won't heat or bake function fails
• Replaces elements that are visibly damaged, blistered, or show open continuity
• Helps eliminate cold spots and uneven baking when the element is functioning correctly

• One bake element

• Disconnect power to the appliance at the breaker before starting work
• Wear gloves and allow the oven to fully cool; access is typically from inside the oven or rear panel depending on model
• Remove and replace carefully, reconnecting terminals securely and checking for proper operation before restoring regular use
• If you see damage to mounting hardware or insulation, replace those parts as needed per service instructions

This fan motor powers the cooling fan that moves air through your unit. Replacing a worn or noisy motor restores proper airflow to help maintain stable temperatures and reliable performance. What it does:

• Drives the fan blade to circulate air for cooling and temperature control
• Helps prevent component overheating caused by weak or stalled airflow
• Fixes: fan not running or starting intermittently
• Fixes: loud humming, grinding, or rattling from the fan area
• Fixes: longer run times or warm spots due to poor airflow

• Includes: 1 fan motor

• Disconnect power before servicing; allow moving parts to stop
• Note wire positions and motor orientation; take a photo for reference
• Transfer the existing fan blade and mounting hardware as needed
• After install, ensure the fan spins freely and no wiring contacts moving parts before restoring power

This convection fan blade mounts to the fan motor and circulates hot air during convection cycles. Replacing a bent or damaged blade restores proper airflow, promoting more even temperatures and consistent baking and roasting performance.

• Mounts on the convection motor shaft to drive airflow through the oven cavity
• Helps maintain uniform temperatures for consistent convection baking/roasting
• Typical failure signs: rattling or scraping noises, visible wobble or damaged fins, weak airflow, or the fan not spinning freely
• A worn blade can contribute to uneven results in convection mode

• Disconnect power and allow the appliance to cool completely before servicing
• Access the blade behind the interior fan cover or rear panel (varies by model); note blade orientation and any spacers/washers for reassembly
• Handle sharp edges; avoid bending fins and ensure the blade spins freely without rubbing before restoring power
• For microwave/OTR convection units, high-voltage components are present.

This surface cooktop element provides the heating source for electric ranges and replaces a damaged or non-working burner to restore normal cooking heat. Designed to match OEM fit and function for compatible Whirlpool ranges. What it does:

• Heats cookware for stovetop cooking when the burner control is turned on
• Replaces a burned-out or broken surface element that no longer heats
• Can resolve symptoms like no heat from the burner, intermittent heating, or visible damage to the element
• Restores even heating when the original element has hot spots or partial failure

• Disconnect power at the breaker or unplug the range before servicing to avoid shock
• Allow the element and cooktop to cool completely before removing or installing
• Remove the old element by unplugging the connector or detaching mounting hardware, then connect the new element securely

This replacement jack mounts inside the oven cavity and provides the receptacle for the food temperature probe. It restores a dependable connection so the control can monitor internal food temperature and operate probe-cook features as intended.

• Provides the in-oven receptacle for the food/meat temperature probe
• Carries the probe's signal to the control during probe-cook cycles
• Helps resolve issues where the control does not recognize a probe or the probe feature won't run
• Replaces a jack that is damaged, corroded, or loose

• Disconnect power at the breaker and allow the oven to cool completely
• Access from inside the oven; remove the mounting screw(s) and carefully pull the jack to reach the wire harness
• Transfer/connect the harness and seat any gasket or insulation to maintain the oven cavity seal
• Do not overtighten fasteners; avoid pinching or damaging wires and insulation

The Whirlpool element mounting screw is an OEM replacement part responsible for securely fastening the heating element to the designated location inside the oven. This part ensures that the heating element remains firmly attached to the appliance's structure. The element mounting screw is crafted from durable materials to withstand high temperatures to provide a reliable and stable connection between the heating element and the oven.

This part fixes the following symptoms:

• Loose or wobbly heating element
• Uneven heating inside the oven
• Excessive vibrations or rattling noises during operation

The Whirlpool element mounting screw can also be used on Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore/Sears brand appliances.

A shoulder screw that secures appliance components and provides a precise pivot or spacer point. Replaces a missing or worn screw to restore alignment, reduce rattling, and keep panels and assemblies securely in place. What it does:

• Provides a fixed-diameter shoulder for pivots, spacers, or mounting points in assemblies.
• Holds panels and moving components at the correct distance to prevent binding or friction.
• A missing or worn shoulder screw can cause misalignment, rattling, or loose parts during operation.
• Used where a smooth-bearing surface and controlled clearance are required between parts.

• Disconnect power to the appliance (unplug or shut off breaker) before servicing.
• Handle small fasteners carefully to avoid dropping into assemblies; magnetic pickup tools can help.
• Start threads by hand to avoid cross-threading; tighten snugly but avoid overtightening.
