This electronic control is the user interface and control board that manages oven functions, timers and temperature regulation to restore responsive controls and proper cooking cycles. Fits as the direct replacement control assembly. What it does:

• Replaces a faulty oven control board to restore display, keypad and timed functions.
• Manages temperature setpoints, bake/broil cycles and timed cooking operations.
• Commonly used when the display is blank, buttons are unresponsive, or oven fails to heat properly.
• Interfaces with sensors, switches and relays to coordinate heating elements and fans.

• Disconnect power to the appliance before servicing to avoid shock risk.
• Handle the board by its edges; avoid touching components and connectors to prevent ESD damage.
• Verify connector orientation and secure all fasteners; ensure wiring harnesses are fully seated.

This handheld remote control sends wireless commands to your appliance so you can change settings from a distance. It replaces a lost or non-working remote to restore convenient, button-based control of functions and modes. What it does:

• Sends infrared/wireless signals to the appliance receiver to change settings
• Lets you adjust common functions such as power, mode and temperature/fan settings
• Restores remote operation when the original remote is lost, damaged or unresponsive
• Resolve issues where the appliance doesn't respond to remote commands

• Install fresh batteries before first use and after long storage; use correct battery type
• Point remote at the appliance receiver and test from several feet away; remove obstructions
• If the appliance doesn't respond, check receiver/IR sensor and power to the appliance

This thermistor is the refrigerator temperature sensor that helps the control board monitor and regulate cooling. Replacing a failed thermistor restores accurate temperature readings for more consistent fridge and freezer performance. What it does:

• Senses internal air temperature and sends that information to the control board
• Helps the defrost and compressor cycles run at the correct times
• Commonly linked to symptoms like inconsistent temperatures, error codes, or a unit that runs constantly
• Does not control cooling directly but provides the temperature feedback the system needs

• Always disconnect power to the appliance before beginning service
• Typically located in the fresh food or freezer compartment near the evaporator
• Handle the sensor and wiring gently; avoid pulling on the wires or bending the probe sharply
• If troubleshooting, verify wiring and sensor resistance per the manufacturer's service instructions before replacement

Note: Due to a factory change, the replacement accordion does not include the frames.
