• Fastens sheet-metal panels, brackets, and other components to the chassis
• Replaces missing, stripped, or damaged screws
• Helps eliminate vibration-induced rattles and looseness
• Maintains proper alignment of panels and assemblies

• 1 screw

• Disconnect power; for gas appliances, also shut off the gas supply
• Align parts and start the screw by hand to avoid cross-threading
• Use an appropriate nut driver or screwdriver for the hex-washer head
• Tighten until snug; do not overtighten to prevent stripping

• Thread: #8-18 (type AB)
• Length: 3/8 in
• Head style: indented hex-washer

This foam tape seals and cushions the oven door assembly to reduce vibration and help keep the door glass and inner components stable. It restores proper spacing and helps reduce rattling or light air leaks around the door. What it does:

• Provides a soft, compressible seal between the door and frame to reduce noise and movement
• Cushions and protects glass and trim from contact and vibration
• Helps limit minor air leakage that can allow heat or odors to escape
• Commonly used when door trim or glass is loose, rattling, or shows visible gaps

• One adhesive-backed foam tape strip

• Clean and dry mating surfaces before applying to ensure good adhesive contact
• Measure and trim to fit; press firmly along the full length for proper adhesion
• Replace only with the same style of tape—do not use electrical or non-heat-rated foam in high-temperature areas
• Disconnect power/cool the appliance before working on the door assembly to avoid burns or injury

This replacement screw secures appliance components and helps keep panels, brackets, and controls firmly attached for reliable operation. It's a simple, direct fix when a mounting screw is missing, loose, or stripped. What it does:

• Fastens panels, trim, brackets or electrical components to reduce movement and rattling.
• Restores proper alignment of parts that shift when a screw is missing or worn.
• Helps maintain electrical and mechanical connections by keeping components seated.
• Common symptom: loose or vibrating panels, trim gaps, or visibly missing hardware.

• Disconnect power to the appliance before accessing internal components.
• Use the correct screwdriver or driver bit to avoid stripping the head.
• Thread gently and avoid overtightening to prevent stripping the mating threads or cracking surrounding parts.
• Keep any removed hardware organized to ensure placement of all required fasteners during reassembly.

This vent tube directs heated air and moisture from the appliance to its exhaust path, maintaining proper airflow around internal components. Replace a cracked, warped, or missing tube to restore safe ventilation and help prevent heat and condensation buildup. What it does:

• Channels hot air and steam from the cavity to the outlet
• Helps prevent heat accumulation around controls and adjacent surfaces
• Reduces moisture/condensation at the vent outlet
• Common symptoms: excessive warmth near the console, persistent odors/steam, visible damage, or rattling from a loose/broken tube

• 1 vent tube

• Disconnect power; shut off gas. Allow the appliance to cool completely before servicing.
• Access and attachment points vary by model; refer to your service manual or diagram for location.
• Note the tube's orientation and routing; transfer any brackets or seals from the old part if present.
• Reuse existing screws/clamps and ensure the vent path is clear after installation.

This thermal cutoff (runaway) is a temperature-safety device that stops the dryer's heating circuit if temperatures exceed safe limits, helping prevent overheating and potential fire hazards. Replaces a failed or tripped runaway TCO in dryer heating assemblies. What it does:

• Opens the heating circuit if the dryer temperature climbs above safe thresholds to stop further heating.
• Prevents uncontrolled heating when other thermostats or controls fail.
• Common symptom: dryer overheats or element stays energized; may also result in no heat if the cutoff is open.
• Works with the dryer's existing thermostats and heating element assembly as a safety interlock.

• One thermal cutoff (runaway) device.

• Disconnect all power before accessing the dryer heating assembly.
• Locate and replace the TCO on or near the heater housing; keep wiring orientation the same.
• Do not bypass or defeat safety devices; After replacement, inspect other thermostats, fuses, and the heating element for related faults.

This rubber rangetop bumper cushions and supports the cooktop, reducing vibration and protecting the surface from metal-on-metal contact. It helps restore proper spacing and reduces rattling or chafing from loose or missing bumpers. What it does:

• Cushions the cooktop edge to prevent scratching and wear
• Keeps the cooktop and rangetop components properly spaced and stable
• Reduces rattling, vibration, and noise during use
• Commonly replaced when bumpers are cracked, flattened, missing, or allow movement

• Remove power to the appliance and allow all surfaces to cool before servicing.
• Access may require lifting or removing the cooktop; follow manufacturer instructions for your model.
• Replace with the same style bumper to maintain proper fit and spacing.
• Use care around sharp edges.

This right-side hinge assembly secures and guides the appliance door for consistent opening and closing, restoring proper alignment and sealing. It's a direct-fit replacement when the door feels loose, binds, or won't stay aligned. What it does:

• Supports the door on the right side and maintains correct pivoting motion
• Restores proper door alignment to improve closing and sealing
• Helps eliminate sagging, binding, or uneven gaps during operation
• Works with existing hinge pins and mounts where applicable

• Replace both hinges if the left-side hinge shows similar wear; balance is recommended for long-term alignment
• Disconnect power and remove any panels or door components per manufacturer instructions before starting
• Use proper tools and keep fasteners organized; tighten to OEM torque if specified
