This heat shield installs inside the oven cavity to deflect intense heat away from nearby components. Replacing a warped or missing shield helps protect the control area and supports proper heat distribution during broiling.

• Deflects radiant heat from the upper heating zone to protect wiring, insulation, and the control assembly
• Helps maintain safe temperatures around the console and door trim
• Supports consistent heat distribution in the oven cavity
• Helps with: visible warping or missing shield, scorching/discoloration above the door, excessive heat at the console, burning odors during broil

• Disconnect power at the breaker and allow the appliance to cool completely
• Remove oven racks and access the shield per your model's design
• Match the original orientation and secure with the existing mounting hardware
• Ensure the shield is firmly seated and clear of heating elements before restoring power

A hex locknut used to secure rotating shafts and threaded fasteners on compatible appliances. Small but critical, it keeps components held firmly in place to prevent loosening during normal operation. What it does:

• Secures shafts, pulleys, or control components to prevent axial movement
• Stops parts from working loose due to vibration or regular use
• Can resolve symptoms like noisy operation, wobbling parts, or loose knobs/assemblies
• Provides a reliable threaded connection when paired with the correct mating fastener

• One hex locknut (quantity: 1)

• Disconnect power and, if applicable, unplug appliance before starting any repair
• Use the correct wrench or socket size and tighten until snug—avoid overtightening
• If access requires disassembly, keep track of removed parts.

This wire cover is a protective sleeve that helps route and shield appliance wiring to reduce wear and prevent accidental contact. It restores a neater harness run and helps maintain safe electrical routing inside the appliance. What it does:

• Protects wires from abrasion and chafing against sharp edges or moving parts
• Helps prevent exposed conductors that can cause shorts, arcing, or burning smells
• Keeps wiring bundled and routed to reduce pinching and stress on connectors
• Reduces risk of intermittent electrical issues caused by damaged insulation

• Disconnect power before beginning any service to avoid shock or injury
• Inspect surrounding wiring and connectors for damage; replace any frayed or exposed wires
• Slide cover over the wiring harness or route harness through sleeve as needed; secure with existing clips or approved fasteners
