This ground screw secures the appliance grounding conductor to the chassis for a reliable electrical ground connection, helping maintain safety and proper operation. It's a direct-fit fastener used where a dedicated ground screw is required. What it does

• Fastens the grounding conductor to the appliance frame to maintain a secure earth/ground connection.
• Helps prevent electrical shock and reduces risk of stray voltage on the chassis.
• Addresses symptoms like intermittent or absent grounding and loose or corroded ground connections.
• Used wherever the original equipment grounding screw has been lost, damaged, or corroded.

• Disconnect power at the breaker and unplug the appliance before starting any work.
• Only attach to designated grounding points on the chassis; ensure the mating surface is clean and free of paint or corrosion.
• Use the correct driver and moderate hand torque—do not overtighten to avoid stripping threads.

The Range Screw is an OEM part for Whirlpool ranges. It is a small but essential component used to secure various parts and panels of the range. It is designed to fit securely into pre-drilled holes, holding components tightly in place.

There are a few factors that can lead to a bad Range Screw. Over time, screws may become loose or stripped due to frequent use or inadequate tightening. Accidental cross-threading or overtightening can also damage the screw or the surrounding components.

Symptoms of a bad screw may include loose or wobbly parts, rattling noises during operation, or difficulty in keeping components securely attached. This OEM Whirlpool part can also be used on Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore/Sears brand appliances.

This spark module supplies the high-voltage pulses that ignite the surface burners on compatible gas cooktops/ranges. Replacing a failing module restores consistent burner spark and reliable lighting when you turn the knobs.

• Distributes ignition voltage to multiple burners; coordinates spark when a burner is turned on
• Common failure symptoms: no spark on any or multiple burners, intermittent clicking, or burners that won't ignite despite gas flow
• Click continuously if internal circuitry fails or senses a short in the ignition system

• Disconnect power and shut off gas before servicing; verify no residual voltage
• Label and transfer each spark wire and connector one at a time to maintain correct routing
• Mount securely and avoid pinching or stretching ignition leads
• If burners still won't spark after replacement, inspect electrode wires, switches, and grounds
