This is the replacement cooktop, also called the main top, for sealed-burner gas units. It forms the cooking surface around the burners to contain spills, restore appearance, and keep grates and burner parts seated securely for safe, even heating.

• Forms the main cooking surface and supports burner heads/caps and grates
• Sealed-burner design helps keep spills on top, protecting components below
• Maintains proper burner alignment and flame pattern
• Common symptoms: cracks, chips, dents, rust, or warping; wobbly grates or gaps around burner openings

• Disconnect power and shut off the gas supply before servicing
• Remove grates, burner caps, and the screws securing burner heads; lift off the old top
• Transfer/reconnect igniters and wiring as equipped; avoid pinching wires during reassembly
• Restore gas and power, verify ignition on all burners, and check for leaks

This replacement grate cartridge secures and centers a cooktop burner grate so cookware sits level and burners perform as intended. Durable design restores stable support for pots and pans on compatible gas ranges. What it does:

• Replaces a worn or broken grate cartridge that lets the grate rock or sit unevenly
• Helps keep the burner grate properly aligned over the burner for even cooking
• Prevents cookware from wobbling or shifting during use
• Restores proper fit where the grate attaches to the cooktop surface

• One grate assembly (cartridge) as shown

• Turn off and disconnect power and gas supply; allow the range to cool completely before servicing
• Remove the burner grate and lift out the old cartridge; align tabs and snap or seat the new cartridge into place
• Handle enamel-coated grates carefully to avoid chipping; use soft padding if needed during installation

This locknut is a small threaded retaining nut used to secure rotating and stationary appliance components, helping keep assemblies tight and stable during operation. It prevents parts from loosening and reduces vibration-related issues. What it does:

• Secures shafts, pulleys, or fittings to prevent axial movement
• Keeps assemblies fastened under normal vibration and load
• Helps stop wobble, grinding, or part separation caused by a loose connection
• Works with the matching threaded stud, shaft, or fitting for a proper hold

• Disconnect power and follow appliance safety procedures before servicing
• Use the matching thread size and engage threads fully; hand-start before tightening
• Tighten securely without overtightening; use the correct driver or socket for the nut
• Inspect mating threads and replace if damaged

Screw (bur) is a fastener that secures panels, brackets and small assemblies on select Whirlpool appliances. Replacing a missing or damaged screw restores proper fastening and helps reduce vibration, rattling and misalignment. What it does:

• Fastens panels, mounting brackets and small internal or external components to the appliance frame.
• Replacing a stripped or missing screw prevents loose parts and restores a secure fit.
• Symptoms of a failing screw include rattling, vibration, panels or trim that do not sit flush, or components that move during operation.
• Commonly used where a short machine screw or trim fastener is required for assembly.

• Disconnect power before beginning any service.
• Use the correct screwdriver or driver bit and install straight to avoid stripping the head or threads.
• Do not overtighten — snug until secure to prevent damage to threads or parts.
• Keep removed fasteners organized and replace any damaged screws with the exact OEM fastener.

This element receptacle is the electrical connector that secures a stove or cooktop surface heating element and provides a safe, stable connection for power transfer. It helps restore reliable heating and reduce intermittent contact. What it does:

• Provides the terminal connection point for a surface heating element so the burner receives power
• Maintains a tight electrical fit to prevent arcing, sparking, or intermittent heating
• Supports normal removal and replacement of a cooktop element for service
• Common symptom: one surface burner won't heat or heats intermittently
• Common symptom: visible burning or discoloration at the element terminal

• Disconnect power to the appliance at the breaker or unplug before servicing
• Inspect the element terminal and wiring for damage; replace any burned or frayed wires
• Use proper tools to remove and install the receptacle; ensure terminals are fully seated

This spark module routes high-voltage pulses to a gas cooktop or range to ignite burner electrodes, restoring reliable ignition so burners light quickly and consistently. Fits as the direct replacement spark control module. What it does:

• Generates timed high-voltage sparks to burner electrodes for ignition.
• Controls spark sequencing so each burner ignites in the correct order.
• Common symptom: burners click but fail to light or spark intermittently.
• Can resolve ignition failure when electrodes and gas supply are known-good.

• One spark ignition module (single unit)

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting any work; verify power is off.
• Handle wiring harness and connectors carefully; match connector positions during reassembly.
• Keep module and connectors dry; avoid contact with moisture or cleaning solvents.
• After installation, test each burner for proper spark and ignition; stop if gas odor is present.
