NOTE: Must order (2) new mounting screws, part# 5303288565 (5303323134) when ordering this switch due to a change.

This truss-head machine screw secures a switch to its mounting bracket or panel. Replacing a worn or missing screw restores a solid, aligned switch fit for reliable operation.

• Fastens the switch body to a bracket or chassis panel
• Helps keep the switch aligned for consistent actuation
• Replaces stripped, corroded, or missing mounting hardware
• Common symptoms: loose or wobbly switch, misalignment, rattling or vibration around the switch area

• Disconnect power to the appliance before servicing
• Start threads by hand to avoid cross-threading; tighten snugly without overtightening
• Verify thread size and length match the original hardware
• If multiple screws secure the switch, replace them in a consistent pattern to maintain alignment

This replacement switch restores reliable on/off control of a specific function in your cooking appliance. When the original switch wears out, components may fail to power on, stay on, or work only intermittently. What it does:

• Opens and closes an electrical circuit to control a targeted component
• Used in select models to switch features such as a light, fan, or heating element
• Symptoms of a failed switch include no response, intermittent operation, or a component that won't turn off
• Visible heat damage, arcing, or loose terminals at the switch may also indicate failure

• 1 switch

• Disconnect power at the breaker or unplug the appliance before servicing; verify no voltage is present
• Note wire locations or take a photo; transfer wires to the new switch one at a time
• Reuse existing mounting hardware or brackets as applicable
• Restore power and test the controlled function before final reassembly

This replacement surface element restores proper heating on a 6-inch burner, so you can cook evenly and bring pans up to temperature as expected.

• Heats cookware on a 6-inch cooktop position
• Common failure signs: burner won't heat, heats intermittently, or trips off under load
• Restores consistent, controllable surface heat
• Direct fit for the designated element location

• Disconnect power before servicing
• Allow the cooktop to cool fully before handling
• Lift/remove the old element carefully to avoid damaging terminals or receptacle
• Inspect and replace the element receptacle as needed

6 inch, 1200 watt single radiant surface element.

Indicator light replaces the control-panel lamp that signals power or active functions, restoring visible status feedback for safer, more confident operation. Use this when the original lamp is dim, cracked, or fails to illuminate. What it does:

• Provides visible indication of power, cycle status, or selected functions on the appliance control panel.
• Restores clear status feedback when the original lamp is burned out or flickering.
• Helps troubleshoot whether a control or circuit is receiving power by showing when the indicator should be lit.
• Improves usability so settings and operating states are easy to confirm at a glance.

• Disconnect power to the appliance (unplug or turn off the breaker) before beginning work.
• Access may require removing the control panel or console.
• Handle the lamp carefully and avoid touching bulb surfaces; use gloves to prevent oil transfer.
• After installation, restore power and verify the indicator lights as expected; if it still does not light, further electrical diagnosis may be needed.

This switch bushing fits the control shaft to stabilize and guide rotary switches, helping restore proper knob alignment and smooth operation. It prevents wobble and uneven contact that can cause intermittent control behavior. What it does:

• Centers and supports the control shaft to keep the switch and knob aligned
• Reduces wobble and lateral play that can make knobs feel loose or inconsistent
• Helps maintain reliable electrical contact by keeping the switch properly seated
• Commonly replaced when knobs are loose, the switch wobbles, or control engagement is uneven

• One switch bushing

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting any repair
• Requires removing the control panel or knob to access the switch shaft; small hand tools typically needed
• Inspect the switch and knob for wear while replacing the bushing; replace worn components as needed
