• Helps maintain uniform temperatures for consistent convection baking/roasting
• Typical failure signs: rattling or scraping noises, visible wobble or damaged fins, weak airflow, or the fan not spinning freely
• A worn blade can contribute to uneven results in convection mode

• Disconnect power and allow the appliance to cool completely before servicing
• Access the blade behind the interior fan cover or rear panel (varies by model); note blade orientation and any spacers/washers for reassembly
• Handle sharp edges; avoid bending fins and ensure the blade spins freely without rubbing before restoring power
• For microwave/OTR convection units, high-voltage components are present.

This replacement jack mounts inside the oven cavity and provides the receptacle for the food temperature probe. It restores a dependable connection so the control can monitor internal food temperature and operate probe-cook features as intended.

This 10-32 terminal block nut fastens wire lugs to the appliance's terminal studs. Replacing a missing, stripped, or corroded nut restores a tight, reliable connection and helps prevent heat damage or intermittent power at the connection.

• Secures wire lugs to a 10-32 terminal stud for a solid electrical connection
• Restores proper clamping force when the original nut is stripped, corroded, or missing
• Helps address loose/burned terminal connections, heat discoloration, or intermittent power at the block
• Suitable for terminal block and similar 10-32 stud applications on compatible appliances

• Disconnect power at the breaker or unplug the appliance before servicing
• Inspect the terminal block, studs, and wiring for heat damage; replace any damaged components
• Clean threads and start the nut by hand to avoid cross-threading; tighten firmly without overtightening
• If the stud turns while tightening, hold it with an appropriate tool to protect the block

Screw for control panel vent.

Replacement oven rack restores a stable cooking surface and allows easy access to food. It provides secure support for cookware and slides smoothly on oven rack guides so you can load and remove dishes safely. What it does:

• Holds cookware and bakeware inside the oven so pans sit level during baking and roasting.
• Slides in and out on factory rack guides for easy loading and checking food.
• Replace if the rack is bent, warped, sagging, or has a damaged finish that interferes with use.
• Helps prevent cookware from tipping or shifting while you remove hot items.
