This time-delay fuse protects the appliance's power circuit by opening when current exceeds a safe level while tolerating brief inrush current. Replacing a blown fuse can help restore power once the root cause is corrected. What it does:

• Protects the line and control circuits from shorts and overloads
• Time-delay design helps prevent nuisance opening during startup surges
• When open, the unit will be completely dead—no display, lights, or response
• Repeatedly opening usually indicates an unresolved electrical fault that needs diagnosis

• 1 time-delay fuse

• Disconnect power at the breaker before servicing; some appliances can retain dangerous high voltage
• Replace only with the same type and rating specified by the manufacturer
• Inspect the fuse holder and wiring for heat damage or loose connections before reassembly
• If the new fuse opens immediately, stop and diagnose the underlying cause; never bypass or upsize a fuse

This capacitor is a replacement motor start/run capacitor that helps the appliance motor start and run smoothly, restoring reliable operation and reducing motor strain. Designed as a direct-fit electrical component for affected Whirlpool units. What it does:

• Provides the necessary phase shift/starting boost to the motor so it can start and maintain proper speed
• Replaces a failed or weak capacitor that may cause a motor to hum, stall, struggle to start, or run intermittently
• Helps prevent excessive motor heat and excessive wear caused by poor starting performance
• Restores correct electrical characteristics when the original capacitor has degraded

• Always disconnect the appliance from power before accessing electrical components
• Discharge the capacitor before handling to avoid shock; use insulated tools and follow safety procedures
• Note and reconnect wiring exactly as found; take a photo before removal if needed

This light transformer (20VA) steps down incoming voltage for the appliance's light circuit. Replace a failing transformer to restore dependable illumination so you can monitor cooking progress and see clearly when cleaning.

• Steps down line voltage to the lower voltage used by the light circuit
• Supports consistent, reliable interior lighting
• A failed transformer can leave the light inoperative even with a good bulb
• Intermittent operation or flickering can indicate a weakening transformer

• Disconnect power at the breaker or unplug the unit before servicing
• Access and mounting location vary by model; note wiring and orientation before removal
• Move wires one at a time to the matching terminals/leads on the new transformer
• Secure the transformer and route wiring away from hot or moving parts; test light operation before reassembly

Screw for control panel vent.

A factory screw with 8-32 machine threads used to secure brackets, panels, and internal components where specified. Restores a solid, factory fit when the original fastener is missing, stripped, or corroded. What it does:

• Provides the specified 8-32 machine-thread fastening for OEM components
• Helps prevent looseness, vibration, or rattling from a missing/damaged screw
• Replaces screws with worn heads or stripped threads to enable proper tightening
• Supports correct reassembly during part replacement or service

• 1 screw

• Disconnect power; shut off water and/or gas before servicing
• Match the new screw to the original for thread and length before installing
• Start threads by hand to avoid cross-threading; tighten until snug
• Do not overtighten into plastic or thin metal; replace damaged inserts/clips if found

• Thread size: 8-32 (machine)

Size: 10-32 inch.

This fixed thermostat protects the appliance by opening the circuit when excessive heat is detected. Replacing a failed or weak thermostat restores reliable over-temperature protection and helps prevent heat-related shutdowns.

• Opens the circuit if the protected area overheats to help prevent damage to components
• Helps with symptoms like unexpected shutdowns during operation or no power after overheating
• Can be the cause when the unit only runs again after cooling down
• Helps maintain safe operating temperatures around heat-sensitive parts

• Disconnect power before servicing; some appliances contain high-voltage components
• Access location varies by model; note wire positions before removal and transfer one lead at a time
• Reuse existing mounting hardware; ensure firm terminal connections and correct orientation
• After replacement, confirm proper airflow/venting and normal operation

This broiler pan restores a sturdy broiling surface in your oven. It holds food for high-heat broiling while the lower tray catches drippings to help reduce smoke and keep the oven cavity cleaner.

• Provides a durable surface for broiling under the broil element or flame
• Collects grease and juices beneath the food during high-heat cooking
• Replaces pans that are missing, warped, chipped, or heavily rusted
• Helps cut down on smoke and mess from burnt-on residue on a damaged pan

• Allow the oven to cool completely before handling
• Slide the pan onto the appropriate rack position per your model's instructions; no tools required
• Use oven mitts—surfaces and edges can be hot after broiling
• If your model uses a separate broiler grid or rack, position it on top of the pan before cooking

Includes light bulb.

Color: Black. Size: 12 oz. Acrylic appliance aerosol can spray paint.

This block-style fuse holder secures and connects the appliance fuse to the wiring harness, restoring a safe electrical connection and thermal protection. Use it when the original fuse block is cracked, corroded, or no longer holding the fuse securely. What it does:

• Holds and connects the appliance fuse to the wiring harness so the thermal/overload fuse can function.
• Restores reliable electrical contact when the original block is cracked, melted, or corroded.
• Addresses symptoms such as intermittent power, no heat, or appliance not starting when caused by a bad fuse connection.
• Works with the existing fuse and wiring—does not replace the fuse itself.

• Disconnect power to the appliance before inspecting or replacing this part.
• Replace any damaged wiring, connectors, or insulation found during replacement; do not cut corners or bypass thermal safety devices.

Color: Black.

The Thermal Fuse is an OEM component specifically designed for Whirlpool ovens. As an important safety device, it is located near heat-producing elements inside the oven cavity. 

Causes of a bad thermal fuse include overheating of elements or surrounding components over time, which can eventually blow the fuse. 

Symptoms of a faulty thermal fuse include:

• The oven failing to heat or operate heating cycles fully
• Heating elements abruptly shutting off during baking  
• An unusual burning smell emanating from the oven

This genuine OEM Whirlpool part is compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore oven models as well.

Replacement transformer that supplies the appliance's low-voltage control power so control boards and components can operate reliably. Use this transformer when the original fails to provide stable power to controls or relays. What it does:

• Converts incoming household/mains voltage into lower control voltage for the appliance's electronics.
• Provides power to control boards, timers, relays and low-voltage solenoids so operational circuits can run.
• Failing transformer can cause dead or unresponsive control panels, intermittent operation, or functions that stop working.
• Serves as a direct replacement to restore control-circuit power when the original transformer is faulty.

• One replacement transformer (quantity: 1)

• Always disconnect power to the appliance at the breaker or unplug before servicing.
• Note or photograph wiring and connector locations before removing the old transformer; reconnect exactly as found.
• Use existing mounting hardware or matched fasteners; avoid forcing connectors or bending terminals.

This lens-lamp assembly replaces a damaged or missing interior light lens and lamp, restoring clear, protected illumination inside the appliance. It provides a covered light source that reduces glare and shields the bulb from food and debris. What it does:

• Covers and protects the appliance interior light bulb from spills, splashes, and impact
• Diffuses light for more even interior illumination
• Restores proper visibility when the original lens is cracked, cloudy, or missing
• Helps prevent direct exposure to the bulb, improving safety during use

• One lens-lamp assembly

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting any repair
• Allow the bulb to cool before handling; wear gloves to protect hands and avoid fingerprints on bulb
• Test the light function after installation to ensure proper fit and operation
