This sheath heater is the oven/dryer heating element that generates heat to warm the appliance cavity. It restores normal heating performance when the original heating element is broken or fails to heat. What it does:

• Heats air inside the cavity by converting electrical power to heat through the metal sheath
• Replaces a damaged, open, or shorted heating element that prevents the appliance from producing heat
• Helps resolve symptoms like no heat, intermittent heating, or tripped thermal fuses related to a failed element
• Works as the core heating component while other controls and sensors manage temperature

• Disconnect power before service to avoid shock; this part requires access behind panels or inside the cabinet
• Handle the element carefully to avoid bending or damaging the sheath and terminals
• Inspect and replace any damaged wiring, thermal fuse, or terminal blocks while accessible

This 4.0x16mm tapping screw secures trim and internal components on compatible appliances, providing a reliable fastener for repair or reassembly. Use the correct screw to maintain fit and function during service. What it does:

• Fastens appliance panels, brackets, and small components where a self-tapping thread is required
• Replaces stripped or missing screws that cause loose panels or rattling
• Helps restore proper alignment and secure electrical or mechanical parts
• Suitable where a 4.0 x 16mm size and tapping/sharp thread are specified

• One 4.0x16mm tapping screw (quantity: 1)

• Use the matching screw location and thread engagement; do not force a misaligned fastener
• Tighten until seated; avoid over-torquing which can strip threads or crack plastic
• Disconnect power and follow appliance safety procedures before servicing
• If screws repeatedly strip, inspect mating threads or use an approved repair insert

This customized washer is a small hardware piece that secures fasteners and helps distribute load where screws or bolts attach to appliance components. It restores proper fit and reduces movement at the connection point. What it does:

• Provides a stable bearing surface for screws or bolts to prevent pull-through and material damage
• Helps keep fasteners tight and reduces vibration-related loosening or rattling
• Maintains correct spacing and alignment of panels or internal parts
• Can help form a seal on fasteners in locations prone to vibration or minor movement

• Disconnect power and water (if applicable) before servicing the appliance
• Retain or replace the associated fastener; small parts can be easily lost—work on a clean surface

This sheath heater is the protective sleeve that surrounds a dryer's heating element, helping keep the element secured and directing heat where needed for efficient drying. Replaces a worn or damaged sheath to restore proper heater alignment and airflow. What it does:

• Protects and supports the heating element assembly to prevent contact with other components.
• Helps direct heat and airflow through the dryer drum for consistent drying performance.
• Commonly replaced when a cracked or melted sheath is found during heater repairs.
• Installed alongside a heating element or thermal fuse when troubleshooting no-heat conditions.

• Disconnect power before servicing; electric dryers present shock and burn hazards.
• Access may require removing the dryer drum and control panels—follow the factory service manual.
• Inspect the heating element and wiring while replacing the sheath; replace damaged components as needed.

This control panel assembly is the front user interface that holds the touchpad/buttons and display, restoring responsive controls and a finished look to the appliance. It replaces a cracked, faded, or unresponsive front control surface. What it does

• Provides the front-mounted buttons/touchpad and display lens used to select cycles and functions.
• Routes user input to the appliance's control electronics so commands register correctly.
• Restores a damaged, cracked, or scratched control surface that interferes with button use.
• Helps address symptoms such as unresponsive or stuck buttons, missing or obscured markings, and visible panel damage.

• One control panel assembly (front user interface)

• Disconnect power to the appliance before beginning work to avoid shock.
• Remove outer trim or screws as needed; handle the display lens and ribbon cables gently to avoid damage.
• Keep small screws and clips organized during disassembly; reconnect all cables securely before reassembly.
