This is a replacement protective heat shield that helps shield nearby components from heat and debris inside the appliance. It restores proper component protection and helps prevent heat-related damage where the original shield is cracked, bent, or missing. What it does:

• Deflects heat and protects wiring, sensors, and nearby components from direct exposure
• Prevents debris buildup and contact with sensitive parts that can cause shorts or damage
• Helps maintain correct airflow paths by covering openings or vulnerable areas
• Commonly replaced when the original shield is rusted, warped, cracked, or detached

• One replacement shield as shown

• Disconnect power to the appliance before inspecting or replacing the shield
• Handle sharp edges carefully and wear gloves to avoid cuts
• Secure with the original fasteners; replace with OEM-specified hardware if fasteners are damaged
• Inspect wiring and sensors and repair as needed if components behind the shield show damage

This outer door trim restores the finished edge and appearance of your appliance door. It replaces cracked, dented or missing trim to make the door look complete and help maintain proper alignment of adjacent parts. What it does:

• Prevents sharp or exposed edges from being visible
• Common symptom: visible damage, dents, or loose/misaligned trim pieces

This spacer positions and separates mounting components to maintain proper clearance and alignment, helping panels and hardware fit securely. It prevents rubbing and keeps assemblies stable for quieter, correct operation. What it does:

• Keeps screws, brackets, and panels aligned for a proper fit
• Reduces vibration and rattling caused by loose or misaligned parts
• Helps restore proper clearance when replacing worn or missing spacers

• Disconnect power before accessing internal panels or fasteners
• Replace like-for-like; spacer location and orientation during removal
• Handle surrounding trim and panels carefully to avoid damage
• If fasteners are damaged or stripped, replace them rather than over-tightening
