Parts for Kitchenaid KOSC504ESS01: Internal Oven Parts

This broil element is the oven's upper heating element that restores high, direct heat for broiling and browning. It replaces a damaged or non-functioning element so the oven can brown foods evenly and broil as intended. What it does:

• Provides intense top heat for broiling, broil cycling, and finishing dishes
• Heats when the oven is set to the Broil function to brown and crisp food surfaces
• Commonly replaced when the oven won't broil, food won't brown on top, or the element is visibly burnt or broken
• Matches the OEM "ELMNT-BROL" function for compatible Whirlpool ovens

• One broil element

• Disconnect power at the breaker before starting — this part is connected to live voltage
• Access usually requires removing the oven interior panel or rear access panel; mounting tabs and terminal connections secure the element
• Verify the replacement visually matches the original and that terminal connections align before installation

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 oven rack restores a stable, level surface for cookware and slides smoothly on the cavity rails. Replace a bent, rusted, or missing rack to ensure safe support and proper positioning for baking, roasting, and broiling.

• Provides a sturdy, level platform for pans and dishes inside the oven
• Slides on side rails so you can adjust rack height as needed
• Replace if bent/warped, rusted, or if the original rack is missing
• Common symptoms include binding when sliding, tilting, or inability to sit level

• Disconnect power and allow the oven to cool completely before working inside
• Pull the old rack forward to the stop, lift the front to clear the stop, and remove
• Align the rear of the new rack with the guides, lower into the rails, and slide fully in
• Remove racks before running a self-clean cycle to minimize discoloration and preserve smooth sliding

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.

The Whirlpool screw is an OEM replacement part responsible for securing various components or parts on different types of Whirlpool appliances. The screw is designed to provide a secure and reliable fastening connection, ensuring that different parts of the appliance stay in place. It is commonly used in different locations within the appliance, such as the cabinet, panels, or other structural elements.

This part fixes the following symptoms:

• Loose or wobbly components within the appliance
• Panels or parts that are not securely attached
• Rattling or unusual noises due to loose parts
• Damaged or missing screw

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

This replacement screw fastens appliance panels and small internal components to restore secure mounting and reduce rattling or movement. It's a direct-replacement style fastener used where factory screws have become missing, worn, or damaged. What it does:

• Secures panels, brackets and accessory parts in their original mounting locations.
• Restores proper fit to reduce vibration, rattling or loose covers.
• Replaces stripped, rusted, or missing screws that prevent proper alignment.
• Small, low-profile fastener intended for factory thread and hole sizes.

• Disconnect power and water before starting repairs.
• Use the correct screwdriver or bit to avoid stripping the head.
• Tighten until snug; avoid over-tightening to prevent thread damage.
• Keep small parts away from children and pets during installation.

The Motor-Fan is an OEM component specifically designed for Whirlpool kitchen ranges. Located within the back wall of the oven cavity, the motor fan works to circulate air and remove excess moisture and smoke during the cooking process. Proper motor-fan functioning helps ensure efficient oven ventilation and performance.

Symptoms of a bad motor fan include:

• Excessive smoke or moisture left in the oven after cooking  
• Oven taking longer to preheat and cook due to poor air circulation
• Loud buzzing or grinding noises emanating from the fan

Causes of failure are normally wear and tear of motor windings or fan blade bearings from years of continuous use. Overheating can potentially reduce lifespan as well. 

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

This retaining nut secures components on compatible Whirlpool appliances to restore proper fastening and reduce looseness. A simple replacement for stripped or missing nuts that helps stop rattling and keeps parts held in place. What it does:

• Threads onto matching bolts or studs to fasten panels, brackets, or assemblies
• Restores tight connections that can cause vibration, noise, or looseness when worn or missing
• Commonly used where a small, serviceable nut is required for secure assembly
• Helps prevent components from coming detached during normal use

• Disconnect power and follow appliance-specific safety procedures before servicing
• Use the correct size wrench or socket; start threads by hand to avoid cross-threading
• Tighten securely but avoid overtightening to prevent damage to studs or mating parts
• If threads are damaged, replace the mating stud or fastener as needed
