The Thermostat Kit is an OEM part for Whirlpool gas ranges. This kit includes the thermostat, which is responsible for regulating the oven temperature during cooking. By ensuring accurate temperature control, it allows for consistent cooking and baking results.

Over time, the thermostat can wear out or become faulty due to regular use, exposure to high temperatures, or electrical issues. When the thermostat malfunctions, it can lead to inaccurate temperature readings and cooking inefficiencies.

Symptoms of a bad gas range thermostat include:

• The oven not reaching the set temperature
• Inconsistent cooking results
• The oven overheating
• The oven not maintaining the desired temperature

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

This machine screw is used across appliances to secure brackets, covers, and internal components. Replacing a missing or stripped fastener helps keep parts aligned and tight, reducing vibration and preventing loose or shifting assemblies.

The Oven Igniter is an OEM part for Whirlpool ovens responsible for igniting the gas burner that heats the oven. It works by drawing electrical current through the igniter filament, heating it to a high temperature until it glows and ignites the gas to start the cooking process.

Symptoms of a failing Oven Igniter include:

• Oven not heating up at all
• Igniter glowing without igniting the gas
• Weak flame or delayed ignition
• Increased gas smell  

Causes of a bad Oven Igniter can range from normal wear and tear, which reduces the igniter's efficiency over time, to physical damage or a buildup of dirt and grease that can interfere with its operation. A malfunctioning igniter can lead to uneven cooking, wasted gas, and in some cases, safety hazards due to the accumulation of gas without ignition.

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