Parts for Kitchenaid KESS908SPB02: 06 - Internal Oven Parts

The Broil Element is an OEM part for Whirlpool ovens. It is responsible for providing the high heat necessary for broiling food, located at the top of the oven cavity. This element ensures even and consistent heating for broiling.

Over time, the broil element can wear out or become damaged. Causes of a bad broil element can include electrical issues, excessive use, or physical damage from cleaning or handling.

Symptoms of a bad Broil Element include:

• The broil function not working
• Uneven heating during broiling
• Visible damage or breaks in the element

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

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 Oven Rack is an OEM part for Whirlpool ovens. This durable rack provides a stable surface for your cookware, allowing for optimal air circulation and even heat distribution. The rack measures about 24 inches wide by 16 inches deep.

Causes of a bad Oven Rack can include warping due to excessive heat, accumulation of rust or food debris, and physical damage which can affect its stability and performance.  

Symptoms of a bad Oven Rack include:

• Difficulty sliding the rack in and out, indicating warping or damage.
• Uneven cooking or baking results due to poor placement or heat circulation.
• The rack failing to hold weight securely, posing a risk of dropping cookware.

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

The Bake Element is an OEM part for Whirlpool ovens, designed to provide consistent and even heating necessary for baking. Located at the bottom of the oven cavity, this element heats up when electricity is applied, radiating heat throughout the oven to bake food evenly. 

The most common cause of bake element failure is wear and tear from regular use. Over time, the element can burn out or become damaged, affecting its ability to heat properly. 

Symptoms of a failing Bake Element include:

• The oven not heating up properly or taking longer than usual to reach the desired temperature.
• Uneven baking results, with some areas of food undercooked or overcooked.
• No visible glow from the bake element when the oven is turned on, indicating it isn't heating.
• Physical signs of wear or damage on the element, such as blistering, cracks, or breaks.

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

Color: brown. Its total length is about 25 inches.

This convection element supplies heat for your oven's convection mode. Working with the convection fan, it circulates hot air to maintain even, consistent baking and roasting performance.

• Provides the heat source during convection cycles for circulated-air cooking
• Helps maintain uniform cavity temperature and even browning
• Restores convection function when the original element is open or damaged
• Common symptoms: convection not heating, fan runs but little/no heat, longer or uneven cook times in convection

• Disconnect power at the breaker and allow the oven to cool completely
• Remove oven racks and the rear interior cover to access the element
• Remove mounting screws, pull the element forward, and transfer wires one at a time; ensure tight, secure connections
• Reinstall the cover, restore power, and run a brief convection test

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 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

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.
