Symptoms include:

• Inability to preheat or maintain set cooking temperatures
• Failure to advance cycles or randomly turning off
• Error messages flashing on the control panel

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

The Ventilation Grease Filter is an OEM replacement part for Whirlpool kitchen ventilation hoods. It captures grease, odors, and smoke from cooking.  The filter measures about 16 and 1 ½ inches x 9 inches.

This is a high-heat ceramic light receptacle used in select appliances. It provides a safe, insulated socket for the appliance light bulb so you can reliably see inside during use or service.

• Holds and insulates the bulb in high-temperature areas
• Restores lighting when the bulb is good but the light won't turn on
• Helps correct loose, flickering, or intermittent interior light
• Common signs include a cracked/scorched socket or arcing at the bulb base

• Disconnect power before servicing; allow the appliance to cool completely
• Access may be from inside the cavity or from the rear panel, depending on model
• Transfer wires one at a time to the new receptacle to maintain correct connections
• Install only the bulb type and wattage specified by the appliance manufacturer

This terminal block provides an insulated, secure junction for incoming power or harness leads inside the appliance. Replacing a cracked, loose, or heat-damaged block restores a safe, reliable connection and helps prevent arcing or intermittent power.

• Creates a fixed, insulated junction between external supply wires and internal appliance wiring
• Maintains tight screw-lug connections to minimize resistance and heat buildup
• Helps ensure steady power delivery to controls, motors, and heaters
• Common indicators of failure: melted/discolored block, burning odor, visible arcing, loose or stripped terminals, intermittent or no power

• Disconnect power at the breaker and verify zero voltage before servicing
• Photograph/label wire positions; transfer one lead at a time to the new block
• Tighten terminal screws firmly; do not overtighten into the insulator
• Inspect wire ends/ring terminals and strain relief; replace any heat-damaged components per the service information

This blower wheel mounts on the drive motor and pushes air through the dryer drum and out the exhaust. Replacing a worn wheel restores proper airflow for consistent drying and helps prevent overheating and nuisance shutdowns. What it does:

• Moves air across the heater, through the drum, and out the vent to remove moisture
• Helps maintain proper airflow and temperature inside the dryer
• Common failure symptoms: reduced or no airflow at the exterior vent, longer dry times, unusual scraping/thumping or vibration from the blower area, or overheating/shutoff
• Cracked fins or a stripped hub can cause the wheel to slip on the motor shaft

• 1 blower wheel

• Disconnect power and turn off gas supply before servicing
• Access the blower housing per your model's service instructions; remove the retaining hardware and replace the wheel in the same orientation
• Clean lint from the blower housing and vent path; inspect the motor shaft and blower seal for wear
• Reassemble and verify the wheel spins freely without rubbing; check airflow at the exterior vent

This part is a grill element that is used on a cooktop. The element is responsible for supplying heat to the cooking area of the cooktop. If the element is not lighting up orange or red when it is turned on, it will need to be replaced. This part may need to be replaced over time due to normal wear and tear on the appliance. Some users may also notice that the element is not heating evenly or works intermittently. If this is the case, this is a genuine OEM replacement part that is made out of high-quality materials. Unplug the range from the electrical outlet and allow the cooktop ample time to cool down before trying to replace it. Wear work gloves for safety during this process.This part is compatible with cooktops that are manufactured by Jenn-Air and Maytag. It is sold individually and comes from the manufacturer.

This wire harness, also called a contact wire assembly, restores reliable factory connections between the appliance's controls and components. Replacing a damaged harness helps resolve intermittent or failed operation caused by burnt, brittle, or loose wiring and terminals.

• Provides the electrical pathway between controls, switches, and related components
• Can help address intermittent operation or a component that won't run/respond
• Replaces wiring with burned, melted, cut, or corroded insulation/terminals
• Restores proper routing and insulation to reduce shorts, arcing, or overheating

• Disconnect power at the breaker before servicing; also shut off gas supply
• Access the harness by removing necessary panels/knobs; label or photograph connections for reference
• Route the new harness in the original clips/grommets, away from sharp edges and hot or moving parts
• Push connectors on fully until secure; reassemble and test operation

This motor isolator is a vibration-damping grommet that cushions the motor mount to reduce noise and prevent metal-to-metal contact. Replacing worn isolators helps keep the motor seated correctly and the appliance running quieter and smoother.

• Cushions the motor to minimize vibration transfer to the chassis
• Helps reduce rattling or buzzing noises during fan/blower operation
• Supports proper motor alignment and mounting stability
• A common maintenance item when rubber mounts become cracked, hardened, or missing

• Disconnect power and allow hot components to cool before service
• Access the motor mounting points; replace isolators in matched locations
• Inspect adjacent mounts and hardware; replace additional isolators as needed
• Do not overtighten fasteners—compress the grommet evenly without deforming it

This hex-head sheet metal screw secures appliance panels, brackets, and trim for a tight, rattle-free fit. Replace missing or stripped fasteners to keep covers and components firmly in place and restore proper alignment.

• Fastens sheet-metal parts, brackets, and trim using a hex drive
• Replaces worn, rusted, missing, or stripped screws
• Helps reduce vibration and rattling from loose panels
• Common signs you need this fastener: head or threads stripped, screw won't tighten, panel or handle coming loose

• Unplug the appliance before service; turn off water supply if working near water lines
• Use the correct nut driver or socket to avoid rounding the head
• Replace one fastener at a time to maintain alignment; do not overtighten
• Match screw type/length to the original location as specified by the manufacturer

This rock plate support is used on many of the Jenn-air grill cartridge rock plates.

Screw: 8-16 x 3/8 inch.

A single pop rivet used to secure sheet-metal parts and small brackets on appliances for a permanent, vibration-resistant hold. Replaces missing or damaged rivets to restore proper attachment without welding. What it does:

• Provides a permanent blind-rivet fastening point for panels, brackets and trim.
• Replaces rivets that are sheared, loose or missing and prevents rattling or misalignment.
• Ideal where a solid, tamper-resistant join is required and screws aren't suitable.
• Works with a compatible pop-rivet tool for quick installation.

• Drill out the old rivet carefully; use the proper size hole for the replacement rivet.
• Use a dedicated pop-rivet tool and wear eye protection during installation.

This locknut is a small threaded retaining nut used to secure rotating and stationary appliance components, helping keep assemblies tight and stable during operation. It prevents parts from loosening and reduces vibration-related issues. What it does:

• Secures shafts, pulleys, or fittings to prevent axial movement
• Keeps assemblies fastened under normal vibration and load
• Helps stop wobble, grinding, or part separation caused by a loose connection
• Works with the matching threaded stud, shaft, or fitting for a proper hold

• Disconnect power and follow appliance safety procedures before servicing
• Use the matching thread size and engage threads fully; hand-start before tightening
• Tighten securely without overtightening; use the correct driver or socket for the nut
• Inspect mating threads and replace if damaged
