This motor powers the oven's fan to move air through the cavity or chassis, depending on the model. Replacing a weak or failed motor restores proper airflow, helping maintain stable temperatures and protect internal components during cooking and cool-down. What it does and common symptoms:

• Drives the oven's fan for cooling and/or convection airflow
• Fan does not run or starts intermittently
• Loud humming, squealing, or grinding from the fan area
• Control area feels unusually hot or oven struggles to maintain temperature
• Uneven baking performance when using convection (on applicable models)

• One motor

• Disconnect power at the breaker before servicing; allow the oven to cool
• Access is typically from the rear or top; remove panels to reach the motor
• Note wire locations and any rotation markings before removal; transfer any attached fan wheel/bracket as required
• After installation, rotate the fan by hand to check for clearance, then restore power and test operation

This replacement light bulb restores bright, dependable illumination inside your oven so you can monitor cooking without opening the door. Swap it in when the oven light is out, very dim, or flickers during use. What it does:

• Lets you check food without opening the door and losing heat
• Common fix for no light, dim light, or intermittent flickering
• Replaces a burned-out/broken bulb as the first step in troubleshooting

• One light bulb

• Disconnect power at the breaker or unplug the appliance; allow the oven to cool completely.
• Remove the light cover/lens per your model; handle glass components carefully.
• Install the new bulb securely; avoid touching the glass with bare hands—use a clean cloth or gloves.
• Reinstall the cover, restore power, and test the oven light.

This control mounting hex nut secures the burner or oven control to the control panel, keeping the shaft stable so the knob turns smoothly and the switch stays properly aligned.

• Threads onto the control/infinite switch or thermostat bushing to fasten it to the panel
• Prevents the control from rotating or shifting when the knob is turned
• Replace if the original nut is missing, stripped, rounded, or corroded
• Common signs: loose or wobbly knob, switch spins in the panel, or misaligned knob indexing

• Disconnect power; for gas appliances, also shut off gas before servicing
• Pull off the knob and any trim; support the control body from behind the panel while removing/installing the nut
• Start the new nut by hand to avoid cross-threading; tighten snugly with the correct-size wrench—do not overtighten
