Customer Questions and Answers for Backsplash Assembly (Backguard) by Ge

This backsplash assembly replaces a damaged or worn backguard on your range or oven, restoring the appliance's rear trim and protecting the wall behind it. It returns a finished look and proper support for controls and wiring cover. What it does:

• Covers and protects the rear upper area of the range/oven, hiding wiring and mounting points
• Restores a finished appearance when the original backsplash is dented, cracked, or discolored
• Provides mounting surface for control panels and associated trim pieces
• Helps prevent grease and splatter from reaching the wall behind the appliance

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting — this part sits near control wiring.
• Remove the range/oven from the cabinet opening as needed for access; two people may be required for safe handling.
• Use existing mounting hardware if service instructions do not list included fasteners; follow OEM instructions for proper alignment.
• Wear gloves to protect against sharp metal edges and avoid damage to finish during installation.
