• Disconnect power to the appliance and follow OEM safety instructions before servicing

This is a genuine lock nut replacement. This is a general piece of hardware that is often used on several types of lawn and garden equipment, including in engines, housing, and other areas. The exact application of this part will vary based on the unit. The lock nut is used to create a more secure seal than a standard nut. When properly secured, the lock nut tightens to a bolt and uses an extra locking washer with teeth to ensure a snug fit.If lock washers do get damaged or lost, they need to be replaced immediately with a genuine OEM replacement. This model is compatible with all types of machines and units since it is a generic part. The washer is sold as an individual part and manufactured by Whirlpool. Lock nuts will need to be installed using a socket wrench or adjustable wrench. Pliers, a screwdriver, or another socket wrench will be needed to hold the bolt while the lock nut is being secured in place. Be sure to thread the lock nut carefully to ensure a strong seal and avoid stripping the bolt or the nut.

Size: 10-32 x 1/2 inch.

The Oven Bake Element is an OEM part for GE ovens. This element is located at the bottom of the oven and is primarily responsible for providing the heat necessary for baking. When the oven is turned on, electricity flows through the element, causing it to heat up and glow red-hot. This bake element has ¼” push-on wire terminals. If you are unable to use your old wire connectors, order TJMA02875-1.

Symptoms of a failing oven bake element include:

• Oven not heating up properly or taking longer to heat
• Uneven cooking or baking
• Element not glowing or only partially glowing during operation
• Visible signs of blistering, cracks, or holes on the element

Causes of oven bake element failure typically include general wear and tear from regular use, exposure to high temperatures which can weaken the element over time, or electrical issues such as short circuits.

This GE replacement part is also compatible with Hotpoint, RCA, and some Kenmore models.

This light socket holds the bulb and supplies power for reliable appliance lighting. Replace a cracked, heat-damaged, or loose socket to restore safe, consistent illumination inside the appliance.

• Secures the lamp and connects it to the appliance wiring
• Restores proper electrical contact to the bulb
• Replaces sockets showing arcing, discoloration, melting, or a loose fit
• Common symptoms: light won't turn on, flickers, works intermittently, or bulbs fail prematurely

• Disconnect power at the breaker or unplug the appliance before servicing
• Allow the appliance to cool completely before accessing the socket
• Use the bulb type and wattage specified for your model
• Transfer existing mounting screws/brackets and wiring connectors as needed; ensure tight, clean connections

The Oven Sensor Assembly is an OEM part for GE ovens. This part monitors the oven's internal temperature, ensuring it matches the set temperature on the oven's controls. By accurately measuring the heat inside the oven, the sensor assembly communicates with the oven's control system to adjust the temperature accordingly. 

Over time, the oven sensor can become faulty due to wear or damage, leading to inaccurate temperature readings. This can manifest as unevenly cooked food, longer cooking times, or an oven that fails to reach the desired temperature setting.

Symptoms of a bad Oven Sensor Assembly include:

• The oven temperature is inconsistent with the setting
• Food is not cooking evenly or as expected
• The oven fails to heat to the set temperature
• Error codes appearing on the oven display related to temperature regulation

This OEM GE part is also compatible with Hotpoint, RCA, and some Kenmore models.

The Broil Pan Set is an OEM part for Whirlpool ovens. This set includes a broil pan and an insert, designed to catch drippings and ensure even heat distribution during broiling, allowing for perfectly cooked and crisp results.

Causes of a bad broil pan set can include prolonged exposure to high temperatures, which may lead to warping or distortion of the pan. Additionally, frequent use without proper cleaning can result in rusting, chipping, or buildup of residues that compromise the pan's functionality and safety.

Symptoms of a bad broil pan set include:

• Warping or bending of the pan
• Presence of rust or corrosion
• Surface chipping or flaking
• Difficulty in achieving even cooking results

The Support Bracket is an OEM part for GE ovens, designed to provide stability and support for the broiling element. This bracket is essential for ensuring the broiling element is securely positioned at the top of the oven, allowing for even heat distribution and optimal cooking performance when broiling foods.

Causes of damage to the support bracket often involve high heat exposure, accidental impacts during cleaning or cooking, or general wear and tear over time. 

Symptoms of a bad Support Bracket include:

• The broiling element hanging lower than usual or touching the oven cavity, which can affect cooking performance and potentially damage the oven's interior.
• Unstable or loose broiling element, leading to uneven cooking or broiling.
• Visible signs of wear, damage, or corrosion on the bracket itself, indicating it may no longer provide adequate support.

This OEM GE part is also compatible with Hotpoint, RCA, and some Kenmore models.

The broil element is the oven's upper heating element. It delivers intense radiant heat for broiling; replacing a failed element restores proper broil performance and more even browning.

• Symptoms of failure: no broil heat, uneven broiling, visible blistering/cracks or breaks in the element, sparking or tripping the breaker when Broil is selected
• Helps restore proper searing/finishing from the top of the oven

• Disconnect power at the breaker or unplug the range before servicing
• Remove oven racks; support the element while removing its mounting screws
• Gently pull the element forward and disconnect the two wires; prevent wires from slipping behind the oven liner
• Make firm, clean terminal connections; avoid bending the element, reinstall screws, then test the Broil cycle
