Range Cable Or Retainer

This precision-formed link is part of the range/oven door lock mechanism. It connects latch components so the lock engages and releases smoothly, helping ensure safe self-clean cycles and a properly secured oven door. What it does:

• Transfers motion between the lock motor/handle and the latch bolt
• Maintains correct alignment for consistent lock engagement and release
• Common symptoms of a worn/bent link: door won't lock or unlock, self-clean won't start/finish, or door lock error codes; latch action feels loose or binds

• 1 link

• Disconnect power at the breaker before servicing
• Access the latch assembly per your model's service procedure (top/back panel removal is common)
• Note linkage and spring orientation; take photos for reference
• Manually cycle the latch to ensure smooth movement before restoring power

This crystal retainer secures the clear lens on the appliance's control panel, keeping it properly seated and protected. Replacing a damaged or missing retainer restores a snug fit and helps prevent the lens from shifting or rattling.

• Holds the lens/crystal firmly in place to protect the window over the clock/timer or display
• Maintains proper alignment and a clean, finished appearance around the panel window
• Helps reduce vibration, rattling, or gaps around the lens area
• Failure may show as a loose or missing window, uneven fit, or buzzing from the panel

• Disconnect power at the breaker before servicing
• Access the retainer from behind the control panel; remove covers/screws as needed to reach the lens area
• Support the lens while removing/installing the retainer so it doesn't fall
• Wear gloves and eye protection; sheet-metal edges can be sharp

This oven light lens retainer secures the glass light cover to the oven cavity so the bulb area stays protected during cooking. Replacing a damaged or missing retainer keeps the lens firmly in place and prevents nuisance loosening.

• Holds the glass light lens securely inside the oven cavity
• Helps shield the bulb area from splatters and debris
• Direct replacement for a bent, warped, or missing retainer ring
• Common symptoms: lens won't stay in, cover rattles, or difficulty securing the lens after service

• Disconnect power at the breaker and allow the oven to cool completely
• Remove oven racks for easier access to the light cover area
• Support the glass lens while positioning the retainer to avoid drops or chipping
• Secure the retainer per your model's design; do not overtighten
