Kenmore / Sears Cooktop Guard, Shield, Barrier Parts

This replacement mesh screen captures lint and debris to help protect airflow and components in the appliance. It restores proper filtering where a torn or clogged screen causes reduced performance or visible debris buildup. What it does:

• Acts as a fine mesh filter to catch lint, fibers, and large particles before they reach internal components
• Helps maintain proper airflow and reduces risk of blockages that can cause reduced performance
• Common symptom: visible lint or debris passing through, restricted airflow, or a damaged/tear in the existing screen
• Straightforward, passive part with no electronics or moving pieces

• One replacement mesh screen

• Inspect surrounding housing and mating surfaces; replace with matching part orientation
• Typically installs by snapping or sliding into a dedicated frame—no specialized tools usually required
• Clean nearby areas of lint and debris before installing the new screen
• Always disconnect power to the appliance before performing service to avoid injury
