6 inch, 1200 watt single radiant surface element.

Replaces the refrigerator temperature control thermostat to restore consistent cooling. This direct-replacement thermostat helps regulate compartment temperature so food stays at the set level and reduces temperature swings. What it does

• Senses compartment temperature and switches the cooling system on and off to maintain the selected temperature range.
• Helps prevent temperature fluctuations that can cause food to spoil or freeze unexpectedly.
• Commonly used when the refrigerator runs continuously, won't reach set temperature, or cycles erratically.
• Works with the existing control knob and wiring—intended as a like-for-like replacement.

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting any repair to avoid shock or injury.
• Basic hand tools are typically required; take care not to damage the sensor bulb or capillary if present.

Evaporator fan motor that circulates cold air over the evaporator coil to help maintain even refrigerator temperatures. Replacing a failing motor restores airflow, reduces warm spots and frost buildup, and cuts down on excessive fan noise. What it does:

• Spins the evaporator fan blade to move cold air through the evaporator and into the cabinet.
• Promotes even cooling to prevent warm zones and food spoilage.
• Stops or reduces abnormal noises caused by a worn or seized motor.
• Helps prevent frost accumulation linked to poor airflow.

• Disconnect power to the appliance before beginning any repair.
• Handle the motor and fan blade carefully; ensure the fan blade is seated properly on the shaft.
• Remove evaporator/fan housing panels and retain screws and clips for reassembly; verify wiring connectors match before reconnecting.

This spacer sets the correct gap between mating parts in your appliance's assembly, preventing rubbing and misalignment. Replace a missing or worn spacer to restore a solid fit, reduce noise, and protect surrounding components.

• Maintains proper spacing between components for correct alignment and operation
• Reduces metal-to-metal contact, squeaks, and premature wear
• Helps fasteners and panels seat securely
• Typical symptoms when failed: loose or rattling parts, uneven gaps, or visible wear marks

• Disconnect power; for gas models, shut off the gas. Allow the appliance to cool completely.
• Access the assembly per your model's diagram; note the original orientation/stack-up before removal.
• Reuse original fasteners if serviceable; hand-start threads and tighten snugly to avoid damaging the spacer.
• Verify alignment and clearances before fully reassembling. Quantity and location vary by model.

This heat-resistant insulation helps contain oven heat and shield surrounding components. Replacing worn insulation supports faster, more consistent preheating, steadier baking temperatures, and cooler exterior panels for safer, more efficient operation. What it does:

• Wraps/lines the oven cavity or panels to reduce heat loss and protect nearby wiring and controls
• Helps the oven preheat efficiently and maintain consistent cooking temperatures
• Limits heat transfer to exterior panels and surrounding cabinetry
• Common signs of failure: longer preheat times, temperature swings, unusually hot sides/back, or insulation that is burnt, brittle, soaked, or missing

• 1 insulation piece

• Disconnect power and, if applicable, shut off gas before servicing
• Access typically requires removing rear/side panels or sliding the unit out; take photos to aid reassembly
• Wear gloves and a dust mask; handle gently—do not compress insulation and keep clear of sensors/wiring
• Re-secure with original clips/tape, reinstall panels, then test preheat and check for abnormal exterior heat

This high-temperature insulation is used in the oven assembly to contain heat and protect nearby components and cabinetry. Replacing damaged insulation helps the appliance maintain set temperatures and keeps exterior surfaces from getting excessively hot. What it does:

• Helps retain heat for stable baking and roasting temperatures
• Reduces heat transfer to the appliance frame and adjacent cabinets
• Replaces insulation that is torn, charred, or saturated with spills/grease

• One insulation piece

• Disconnect power; for gas models, also shut off the gas supply
• Remove the range or wall oven and access the oven body
• Wear gloves, eye protection, long sleeves, and a dust mask; fibers can irritate skin and lungs
• Reinstall in the same orientation/routing as the original; do not compress insulation or block vents

This control console is the outer housing that holds and protects the appliance's control buttons and display, restoring a clean, functional front surface and securing the control components. What it does:

• Covers and supports the control board, buttons and display for normal operation
• Restores a finished appearance when the original console is cracked, broken or cosmetically damaged
• Helps keep moisture, dust and debris away from controls to reduce malfunctions
• Provides the mounting surface for knobs, switches and electronic controls

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting any repair to avoid electrical shock
• Handle carefully to avoid scratching the finish and protect any attached wiring or trim
• Typical install requires removing the top or front trim and transferring controls or hardware as needed
• Keep all screws and clips; use the same hardware or OEM replacements for secure fit

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 rubber bumper cushions doors and panels to reduce noise, prevent metal-on-metal contact, and protect finishes for smoother, quieter operation. Replace worn or missing bumpers to help restore proper seating and reduce rattling. What it does:

• Absorbs shock between moving parts to prevent bangs and scratches
• Keeps doors and panels aligned for a tighter seal and quieter close
• Reduces vibration and rattling during operation
• Helps protect painted or plated surfaces from wear at contact points

• Disconnect power to the appliance before servicing to avoid electrical hazard
• Typically a push-in or snap-in replacement; press into the original mounting hole until seated
• Inspect nearby bumpers and replace in matched sets if others are cracked or missing

This is a #8 screw, 0.500 inch long, used to secure panels and components in appliances. It provides a correct-fit fastener for repairs where the original #8 x 1/2" screw was required, restoring proper assembly and stability. What it does:

• Fastens trim, panels, brackets and small components where a #8 x 1/2" screw is specified
• Holds parts securely to prevent rattling, gaps or loose panels
• Replaces worn, stripped or missing screws to restore proper fit
• Appropriate for common interior and exterior appliance mounting points

• Use the correct screwdriver (typically Phillips) and avoid over-tightening to prevent strip or damage
• Disconnect power and follow appliance manufacturer safety instructions when accessing internal parts

This hex flange nut secures components where a broader bearing surface is needed to resist loosening and distribute load. It fits 10-32 threaded studs and is used on fastened assemblies in appliances. What it does:

• Provides a secure threaded connection for 10-32 screws and studs
• Flange spreads clamping force to reduce panel or bracket damage
• Hex shape allows tightening with a wrench for a reliable hold
• Commonly replaces worn or missing nuts that cause loose panels or rattling

• One hex flange nut

• Use the correct 10-32 screw or stud and hand-start threads to avoid cross-threading
• Tighten with an appropriately sized wrench; do not overtighten to prevent thread or part damage
• Disconnect power and follow appliance safety instructions before servicing
• Replace only like-for-like; confirm size and thread match your application
