This heat shield protects oven or range components from direct heat, helping prevent damage to nearby panels and wiring. It's a direct-replacement exterior shield used when existing metal shields are warped, cracked, or missing. What it does:
- Diverts and dissipates heat away from control panels, insulation, or adjacent components
- Helps stop heat-related discoloration, warping, or premature wear of nearby parts
- Restores proper clearance and airflow around the oven cavity after shield damage
- Commonly replaced when you see scorched areas, melted trim, or gaps where a shield once sat
What's included:
- One heat shield (exact shape and mounting holes as shown in OEM diagram)
Install notes:
- Disconnect electrical power (and gas, if applicable) before starting any repair
- Remove oven racks and any trim panels to access the shield; keep track of fasteners
- Compare the replacement to the removed part to confirm fit before fastening
- If mounting hardware is damaged or missing, procure correct OEM fasteners — only the shield is guaranteed to ship
