This is a genuine replacement BSQ screw used to secure appliance components and trim. It restores proper fastening so panels and parts sit tight and function without rattling or shifting. What it does:

• Fastens interior or exterior components and trim where a BSQ screw is specified
• Prevents loose or vibrating panels and assemblies
• Restores secure attachment if an original screw is missing, stripped, or damaged
• Matches OEM fit and head style for correct engagement with the mating part

• Disconnect power to the appliance before doing any repairs to avoid shock or injury
• Use the correct screwdriver or driver bit to avoid stripping the head
• Tighten snugly but do not overtighten—over-torquing can strip threads or damage surrounding parts
• If threads are damaged, replace the mating fastener or insert as needed for a secure repair

A replacement support bracket that secures the oven heating element in the cavity so the element stays properly positioned for safe, even heating and reliable operation. Restores stable mounting after breakage or wear. What it does:

• Holds the bake/oven heating element in place so it doesn't sag or contact the oven cavity
• Helps maintain consistent heating and prevents element movement or rattling during use
• Commonly used when the existing support is cracked, bent, or missing
• Works with the oven's internal mounting points to align the element correctly

• Always disconnect power to the appliance before starting any repair
• Handle the heating element carefully; support may attach directly to the element terminals or mounting studs
• Basic hand tools are typically required; refer to your model's service instructions for exact steps

A 10-24 lock nut used to secure threaded fasteners and prevent loosening from vibration. Simple, durable replacement that restores proper fastening where the original nut has worn or failed. What it does:

• Secures shafts, studs, or bolts with 10-24 threads and resists loosening under normal appliance vibration.
• Restores proper tension where a stripped or loose nut causes rattling or parts shifting.
• Helps maintain alignment of panels, brackets, or components that rely on a locked fastener.
• Small hardware solution for common fastening failures—no special part modifications required.

• Disconnect appliance power and water before beginning repairs.
• Use the correct 10-24 threaded fastener and a properly sized wrench or socket to avoid rounding the nut.
• Tighten to a snug fit—do not overtighten or force onto damaged threads.
• Inspect mating threads and replace the bolt/stud if threads are stripped or damaged.

This brown lock lever is a direct-replacement actuator that engages the appliance's locking mechanism so doors or lids stay securely closed during cycles. Restores proper latch movement and helps the door lock and release as intended. What it does:

• Moves the door/lid latch into the locked or released position when the appliance runs
• Replaces a worn, broken, or bent lever that prevents the lock from engaging
• Helps eliminate symptoms such as a door that won't latch, won't stay closed, or won't unlock at cycle end
• Works as the mechanical interface between the lock assembly and the door/lid

• One brown lock lever (single replacement part)

• Disconnect power and water (if applicable) before servicing to avoid shock or injury
• Access may require removing the control panel or door trim depending on model; follow OEM instructions
• Inspect mating latch and fasteners; replace any damaged clips or screws for secure fit

This element harness connects a range or oven heating element to the appliance's terminal block, providing a reliable electrical path for proper heating. Replaces worn or damaged connectors to restore safe heater connections. What it does:

• Transfers power from the terminal block to the bake or broil element through insulated leads
• Provides terminal-end connectors that secure the element to the wiring harness
• Failsafe symptom: broken, corroded, or melted connectors that cause the element not to heat
• Other symptom: intermittent heating, arcing, burning smell, or visible insulation damage

• Always disconnect power at the breaker or unplug the appliance before servicing
• Access typically requires removing the rear panel or element access panel; handle terminals carefully
• Inspect terminal block and element studs for damage; replace harness if connectors are loose, corroded, or insulation is brittle
