This oven thermostat senses and regulates oven temperature so food cooks evenly and the range reaches set temperatures. It replaces a failed temperature control to restore accurate heating and cycle behavior. What it does:

• Closes and opens the control circuit to maintain the oven at the selected temperature
• Can correct symptoms such as oven not reaching set temperature, overheating, or excessive cycling
• Works with the oven's control system and heating elements to stabilize bake and broil operations
• Mechanical design — avoid bending or damaging the sensing element/capillary

• One oven thermostat

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting any service
• Handle the thermostat and sensing element carefully; do not kink or sharply bend the capillary
• Verify proper thermostat mounting and oven cavity seals for accurate temperature control

Indicator light replaces the control-panel lamp that signals power or active functions, restoring visible status feedback for safer, more confident operation. Use this when the original lamp is dim, cracked, or fails to illuminate. What it does:

• Provides visible indication of power, cycle status, or selected functions on the appliance control panel.
• Restores clear status feedback when the original lamp is burned out or flickering.
• Helps troubleshoot whether a control or circuit is receiving power by showing when the indicator should be lit.
• Improves usability so settings and operating states are easy to confirm at a glance.

• Disconnect power to the appliance (unplug or turn off the breaker) before beginning work.
• Access may require removing the control panel or console.
• Handle the lamp carefully and avoid touching bulb surfaces; use gloves to prevent oil transfer.
• After installation, restore power and verify the indicator lights as expected; if it still does not light, further electrical diagnosis may be needed.

This is a #8 screw, 0.500 inch long, used to secure panels and components in appliances. It provides a correct-fit fastener for repairs where the original #8 x 1/2" screw was required, restoring proper assembly and stability. What it does:

• Fastens trim, panels, brackets and small components where a #8 x 1/2" screw is specified
• Holds parts securely to prevent rattling, gaps or loose panels
• Replaces worn, stripped or missing screws to restore proper fit
• Appropriate for common interior and exterior appliance mounting points

• Use the correct screwdriver (typically Phillips) and avoid over-tightening to prevent strip or damage
• Disconnect power and follow appliance manufacturer safety instructions when accessing internal parts

Specs: 8 - 18 x 0.500

This hex flange nut secures components where a broader bearing surface is needed to resist loosening and distribute load. It fits 10-32 threaded studs and is used on fastened assemblies in appliances. What it does:

• Provides a secure threaded connection for 10-32 screws and studs
• Flange spreads clamping force to reduce panel or bracket damage
• Hex shape allows tightening with a wrench for a reliable hold
• Commonly replaces worn or missing nuts that cause loose panels or rattling

• One hex flange nut

• Use the correct 10-32 screw or stud and hand-start threads to avoid cross-threading
• Tighten with an appropriately sized wrench; do not overtighten to prevent thread or part damage
• Disconnect power and follow appliance safety instructions before servicing
• Replace only like-for-like; confirm size and thread match your application

This element mounting spring secures a surface cooktop heating element to the range, keeping the element stable and ensuring consistent electrical contact for reliable heating. Replaces a worn or missing spring to restore proper element fit. What it does

• Holds the surface heating element in place under the cooktop or in the drip pan.
• Maintains stable mechanical and electrical contact so the element heats evenly.
• Prevents element wobble, movement, or poor seating that can cause intermittent heating.
• Commonly needed when an element drops, rattles, or fails to make solid contact.

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting any repair.
• Remove the element and/or drip pan per the range service instructions to access the spring.
• Install the spring in the same orientation as the original; ensure the element seats fully and securely.

The Lens is an OEM component for Frigidaire freezers. It acts as a transparent cover and protective barrier for the freezer compartment lights. Crafted for durability and clarity, the lens avoids frost and minimizes condensation while allowing visibility inside the freezer.

Causes of a bad lens can include deep scratches or cracks developing over time from repeated wiping or exposure to chemicals like frost removers.

Symptoms of a bad freezer lens include:

• Cloudiness, fogginess, or smears inhibiting internal visibility
• Cracks or breaks compromising the protective barrier
• Distorted views make it difficult to assess food levels
• Diffused lighting with shadows instead of a clear view

This OEM Frigidaire part can also be used on Electrolux, Frigidaire, Gibson, Kelvinator, Westinghouse, and Sears/Kenmore.

This 100W radiant element replaces a failed warming element to restore gentle, even heat in the appliance's warmer/drawer. It delivers low-profile radiant heat for keeping food warm between cooking and serving. What it does:

• Radiates low-level heat to maintain food temperature in the warmer or drawer
• Replaces a broken or non-heating warmer element
• Common symptom: warmer drawer not holding temperature or not heating
• Works as the heating element that sits under the warming surface to provide consistent warmth

• Disconnect power to the appliance before attempting service
• Inspect mounting and wiring; replace any damaged connectors or mounting hardware as needed
• Handle the element carefully to avoid bending or damaging the heating surface

Used on the 1200 watt element

Used on the 2200 watt element

The Element is an OEM component specifically designed for Frigidaire brand electric ranges. Located beneath the cooktop surface, these resistive elements generate heat for cooking.

Prolonged use causes elements to warp, crack, or lose continuity over time due to normal heating/cooling cycles. Element failure limits cooktop functionality.

Causes of a faulty element relate to typical wear expected of high-temperature filament windings. Accidental damage during cleaning can also impact integrity.

Symptoms of a bad element involve:

• One or more cooktop zones not heating properly or at all  
• Burned residue indicating heating dysfunction
• Visible cracks or separations in the resistive coils

Replacing with this OEM Frigidaire assembly restores reliable and consistent zoned heating. Compatibility extends to some Kenmore, Gibson, and Electrolux ranges.
