Gfe461lvb Parts

This surface heating element replaces a failed warm zone on an electric cooktop or range, restoring the low-temperature heating area used for keeping food warm. Designed to match OEM fit and function for compatible units. What it does:

• Provides the low-temperature "warm zone" heating needed to keep plates and dishes warm
• Heats at lower temperatures than main burners for gentle warming
• Commonly used when the warm area does not heat or maintain temperature
• Helps correct symptoms like a cold or intermittently heating warm zone, or uneven warming

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting any repair
• Allow the cooktop to be completely cool and handle glass or ceramic surfaces carefully
• Follow your appliance's service manual for safe removal and installation; use basic hand tools
• Do not install if the cooktop glass is cracked or damaged—replace the glass top first

Replacement convection fan motor assembly that circulates hot air for more even baking and roasting. Restores convection operation when the oven fan is worn, makes noise, or stops running, helping return consistent cooking results.

• Circulates heated air throughout the oven cavity to promote even baking and roasting; replaces a failed convection fan motor.
• Resolves symptoms such as uneven baking, longer-than-normal cook times, loud grinding or rattling noises, or a fan that will not run.
• Re-establishes proper airflow for convection cooking and helps maintain more consistent oven temperatures.

• Disconnect power at the breaker or unplug the appliance before beginning work.
• Allow the oven to cool completely and wear gloves to protect against sharp sheet-metal edges.
• Follow the oven's service manual for wiring and mounting instructions.

The Cooktop is an OEM component specifically designed for Whirlpool ranges. 

Causes of a bad cooktop can include cracks or breaks in the glass surface, non-functional or faulty heating elements that will not reach proper cooking temperatures or damage to electronic controls.  

Symptoms of a bad cooktop include: 

• Uneven or slow heating of elements  
• Elements that will not turn on or only function at certain power levels
• Fractures, chips or breaks in the glass cooking surface
• Improper sensing of cookware leading to inaccurate heating  

This OEM Whirlpool replacement is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper and Kenmore models.

This control bracket secures the appliance control or console assembly, keeping the control board and user interface stable for reliable operation. It helps prevent loose or misaligned controls that can affect button response or display visibility. What it does:

• Provides a rigid mounting surface for the control board or console assembly
• Keeps control components aligned and stable during normal use
• Helps reduce vibration-related connector or wire stress
• Can restore proper fit and button alignment when the panel is loose

• One control bracket

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting any repair
• Handle the control board and wiring harness carefully to avoid damage
• Basic hand tools (screwdriver, nut driver) are typically required for removal/installation
• Reuse existing screws or verify hardware compatibility

This spring clip is a small metal retainer used to secure wiring or small components in place, preventing movement and accidental disconnection. It helps maintain reliable electrical and mechanical connections inside the appliance. What it does:

• Holds wiring harnesses or small terminals securely to reduce chafing and intermittent connections
• Keeps connectors and small components from shifting during operation or transport
• Helps prevent wire strain that can cause shorts or loss of function
• Commonly replaced when clip is bent, broken, or missing and wiring becomes loose

• One spring clip

• Turn off power to the appliance at the breaker before inspecting or replacing
• Use needle-nose pliers to compress and seat the clip; avoid forcing or over-bending
• Verify the clip secures the intended wire or terminal without pinching insulation
• If wiring shows damage, replace the wiring/harness per OEM guidance rather than relying on the clip alone

Color: White

This wire harness is the appliance's main electrical connector assembly that routes power and signals between components, restoring reliable electrical connections for controls and motors. Use it to replace a damaged, burnt, or broken harness. What it does:

• Carries power and control signals between the appliance's control board, motors, switches, and sensors
• Replaces damaged wiring that can cause intermittent operation, non-responsive controls, or failure to start
• Restores proper connector fit and secure splices to prevent arcing and poor contact
• Helps eliminate issues caused by frayed insulation, broken terminals, or melted wires

• One complete wire harness assembly

• Disconnect the appliance from power (unplug or switch off breaker) before starting any repair
• Compare the new harness to the old one for connector type and routing before disconnecting components
• Route wires along the original paths and secure with existing clips or ties to avoid heat and pinch points
