Kuis15 Parts

This group top panel is the cooktop surface that covers and supports burners and controls, restoring a clean, protected cooking area and preventing heat or spills from reaching internal components. It's a direct replacement for the 15" group-top assembly. What it does:

• Replaces a bent, rusted, cracked or damaged cooktop surface so burners and controls mount securely
• Shields internal wiring and components from spills, grease and heat
• Provides a flat, stable surface for burner grates and cookware
• Helps restore proper alignment of burner components and control openings

• Disconnect power to the appliance before beginning any repair; follow all safety precautions
• Moderate hand tools typically required; retain fasteners and any trim for reuse
• Inspect adjacent parts (burner bowls, burner heads, mounting brackets) for wear during replacement

The Alumilastic Cement is an OEM part for Whirlpool appliances, typically used in refrigerators and freezers. It serves as a thermal mastic compound, designed to provide a secure and heat-conductive bond between various components, such as evaporator coils and the interior walls of the appliance. 

Causes of a bad alumilastic cement can include drying out, cracking, or losing its adhesive properties over time. This can occur due to age, exposure to temperature fluctuations, or improper application. When the cement fails, it can lead to poor thermal conductivity and decreased cooling efficiency.

Symptoms of a bad alumilastic cement include:

• Reduced cooling performance
• Unusual noises from the cooling system
• Components becoming loose or detaching
• Increased energy consumption

This OEM part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models.
