Parts for Kitchenaid KDRS505XSS02: 07 - Internal Oven Parts

This is an oven rack that is made for use on an range. The oven rack is inserted into the oven and there is likely more than one per unit. It creates a stable place to place ovenware for baking inside of the oven. They function similarly to shelves.If the oven rack begins to rust, it will need to be replaced. These can also sustain damage if they experience forceful impact with a heavy object. Over time, they may deteriorate and need to be replaced. Some people may wish to wear work gloves to protect their hands during the replacement process as these can become very dirty. It is essential to let the original oven rack cool completely before removing it from the oven for replacement. This part is sold individually and is sourced straight from the manufacturer. This particular oven rack is compatible with ranges that are manufactured by the KitchenAid and Maytag brands.

This broil element replaces the upper heating element in electric ovens to restore broiling and top-heat cooking performance. It provides the heating surface used for browning, searing, and finishing dishes under the oven broiler. What it does

• Replaces a damaged or burned-out upper broil element to restore broiling heat
• Heats from the top of the oven for browning, melting, and finishing foods
• Common symptom: broiler cycles but fails to heat, produces no or weak top heat
• Also used when the element shows visible damage, breaks, or sparks

• One upper broil element

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting—verify power is off at the breaker
• Allow the oven to cool completely and handle the element by insulated areas only
• Remove the oven racks and access the element mounting screws/terminals; support the element when disconnecting wiring
• Test fit and power up briefly to confirm operation after installation

This bake element replaces the oven's lower heating element to restore reliable baking and roasting performance. It provides the heating surface that warms the oven cavity for even cooking. What it does:

• Heats the oven cavity from the bottom for baking and roasting
• Restores proper oven temperature when the original element is burnt out or visibly damaged
• Helps eliminate cold spots and uneven baking caused by a failed element
• Works with the oven's control system to reach and maintain set temperatures

• One bake (lower) oven heating element

• Disconnect power to the appliance at the breaker or unplug before starting work
• Handle the element and terminal connections carefully to avoid bending or breaking
• Verify correct fit and secure electrical connections; restore power and test the element before reassembling panels

The Broiler Element is an OEM part for Whirlpool ranges. It serves as the heating element responsible for the broiler function used to finish cooking and browning foods under direct heat. The broiler element allows for two-sided infrared cooking above the oven cavity.

Causes of a bad broiler element can include cracks in the ceramic coils after prolonged heating cycles, corrosion of heating coils from spills or steam, or loose or damaged connections to the power supply. 

Symptoms of a bad broiler element include:  

• Inadequate or unstable heating from the broiler 
• The broiler failing to reach desired temperatures
• "Burning" smell or smoke during broiling

This OEM replacement is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air and select Kenmore oven models.

The Range Fan Motor is an OEM component specifically designed for Whirlpool electric ranges. It powers the convection ventilation system that removes smoke, steam, and odors from the cooktop and oven. The motor circulates air evenly to enhance cooking performance.

Causes of a bad fan motor can include heat damage accumulated over time. General wear from powering the ventilation system daily also contributes to internal degradation. Improper cleaning allowing moisture poses another failure risk.

Symptoms of a bad fan motor include:  

• Vibration or grinding noises from within the fan housing
• Reduced or erratic air movement across the range
• Failure to engage or turn on as intended  
• Thermal overload or burnt smells from motor overheating

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

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.

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.

The Rack is an OEM part for Whirlpool wall ovens. It provides a durable surface for baking and cooking food items. These racks are engineered to maximize capacity while withstanding high heat.

Causes of a bad rack include standard wear and tear from regular cleaning cycles in addition to exposure to grease buildup despite cleaning. Racks support significant weight loads during cooking cycles.

Symptoms of a bad rack include:

• Visible bends, cracks, or detachment of rack elements
• Lack of support leads to spilled/dropped food safety concerns  
• Food or debris lodged in rack imperfections promotes residue buildup
• Compromised rack integrity reduces usable oven space for cooking

This Whirlpool OEM replacement rack directly fits the original location and restores full cooking functionality. Models also include Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, and select Kenmore ovens for lasting performance.

This replacement heat shield protects the oven cavity and nearby components from extreme heat, helping prevent damage to wiring and surrounding parts for safer, more reliable oven operation. What it does:

• Deflects and dissipates radiant heat away from sensitive components and insulation
• Prevents heat-related damage to wiring, control housings, and nearby panels
• Helps maintain proper oven airflow and temperature distribution when installed correctly
• Common symptoms of a failed shield include scorched or melted insulation, visible warping, or a persistent burning smell

• One heat shield

• Disconnect power (and gas, if applicable) before starting any repair
• Handle carefully—edges may be sharp; wear gloves and eye protection
• Inspect mounting tabs and fasteners and replace any damaged hardware
• If you discover additional damage (wiring, insulation, panels), replace those parts as needed

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.
