This ground wire provides a safe chassis connection to restore proper grounding and reduce shock and electrical-fault risk. It replaces a frayed, corroded or missing ground lead to help keep the appliance electrically safe. What it does

• Connects the appliance chassis to the grounding system to prevent stray voltage on metal surfaces
• Restores a secure ground path if the original wire is broken, loose, or corroded
• Helps stop intermittent power faults or nuisance tripping caused by a compromised ground
• Addresses symptoms like visible wire damage, loose ground connection points, or grounding-related electrical issues

• One ground wire

• Always disconnect power (unplug or shut off the circuit breaker) before starting work
• Attach the ring/terminal ends to the designated chassis ground screw and the equipment ground point
• Route the wire away from moving parts, heating elements, and sharp edges; secure with existing clips or fasteners
• If terminal hardware is missing or damaged, replace with equivalent OEM-style fasteners and torque to specification

This 6-32 machine screw is a direct-fit fastener used to secure appliance panels and components. It provides a reliable replacement for stripped or missing screws to restore proper fit and reduce vibration or looseness. What it does:

• Secures panels, brackets, and internal components to keep parts aligned and stable
• Restores proper fastening when original screws are missing, stripped, or damaged
• Helps eliminate rattling or movement caused by loose fasteners
• Compatible with metal-to-threaded-hole connections that use 6-32 hardware

• Use the correct driver and avoid over-tightening to prevent stripped threads or damaged components
• Disconnect power and follow appliance safety guidelines before servicing
• If threads are damaged, replace both screw and any damaged insert or nut as needed

This upper electrical cover protects and conceals the appliance's control box and wiring, helping keep electrical components safe from dust and accidental contact. It restores a finished appearance and supports secure mounting of the console area. What it does:

• Covers and shields the control box and wiring from dust, debris and accidental contact.
• Helps keep electrical connections secure by providing a proper mounting surface for the console.
• Restores the appliance's exterior appearance when the original cover is cracked, warped or missing.
• Reducing exposed components can help avoid nuisance issues like loose connectors or intermittent controls.

• Disconnect power (unplug or shut off the breaker) before starting any work.
• Handle panels carefully — metal edges can be sharp; wear gloves if needed.
• Keep original screws/fasteners or replace with equivalent OEM screws; verify alignment before tightening.

Rubber bumper. Color: Grey.

This is a replacement mounting screw used to secure appliance panels and components. It restores proper fastening so panels and parts stay aligned and stable during normal use. What it does:

• Fastens appliance panels, trim or internal components in place
• Replaces missing or stripped screws that cause rattling or loose parts
• Helps stop panel vibration and maintain proper component alignment
• Matches OEM fit where specified for a secure installation

• One replacement mounting screw

• Verify screw size and fit before installation; use the correct screw location from your parts diagram
• Turn off and disconnect power to the appliance before accessing internal components
• Hand-start the screw to avoid cross-threading; tighten until snug—do not over-tighten
• Wear safety glasses and follow manufacturer service instructions when applicable

Bottle with brush. Color: New avocado. Size: 0.6 fl.oz.

The INSULATION is an OEM component specifically designed for Whirlpool electric ranges. Positioned between inner and outer wall cavities, it efficiently buffers heat.

Fiberglass batting material keeps internal temperatures elevated for cooking while preventing harmful temperatures from spreading outside. Stable temperature control is essential for consistent results.   

Causes of damaged insulation could be high heat exposure over time weakening fibers, moisture ingress deteriorating integrity, or physical punctures allowing heat leakage.

Symptoms of insufficient insulation include: 

• Oven unable to effectively retain or distribute set temperatures
• Door and exterior surfaces becoming too warm to safely touch 
• Higher energy bills from frequent recovery heating cycles

This Whirlpool insulation is also compatible with electric ranges by GE, Frigidaire, Samsung, and some LG kitchen models.

This oven insulation retainer holds the insulation beneath the oven cavity to help maintain proper heat shielding and support. It replaces damaged or missing retainers to restore correct insulation positioning and reduce heat transfer to surrounding components. What it does:

• Secures oven cavity insulation in place so insulation can't shift or sag
• Helps maintain proper heat shielding around the oven cavity
• Commonly replaced when the retainer is cracked, broken, or missing

• Intended for use with the oven insulation area; fits your model before installing
• Turn off power to the appliance at the breaker before servicing to avoid shock hazard
• Handle gently to avoid damaging surrounding insulation; wear gloves and eye protection
• Use existing mounting hardware when possible; replace any stripped or damaged fasteners

Kit includes 4 pins.

Color: Bisque. For black order 8184858. For white order 8184859. Kit includes two side pieces and one bottom piece. NOTE: This part has been redesigned by the manufacturer. The lower screws are no longer used and the side trim now locks into the lower trim with the dimples on the lower end of the side trim.

This oven flange seal creates a tight weatherstrip between the oven door and cabinet to help keep heat and moisture inside the cooking cavity for more consistent baking and reduced heat loss around the door. What it does:

• Seals the gap between the oven door and the oven frame to help maintain internal temperature.
• Reduces heat and smoke escaping from the oven during use.
• Helps prevent spills and crumbs from entering the flange area.
• Common symptom indicators: visible gaps, torn or brittle seal, heat felt at the door edge, or uneven cooking.

• Disconnect power (unplug or shut off circuit breaker) before servicing the appliance.
• Inspect the door and flange channel for debris or damage; clean before installing the new seal.
• Press the seal evenly into the retaining channel around the flange; replace any fasteners if required by OEM instructions.

This spacer provides a precise gap for proper alignment and clearance between components, helping maintain correct part positioning for reliable operation. It's a simple replacement that restores intended spacing and reduces wear. What it does:

• Positions and separates adjoining parts to maintain correct clearance
• Helps prevent rubbing, misalignment, or binding of moving components
• Restores factory spacing after maintenance or part replacement
• Fits where the original spacer was used to support assembly alignment

• One spacer as shown

• Inspect surrounding components and mounting surfaces for damage before installing
• Remove power to the appliance and follow manufacturer service instructions
• Install in the same orientation as the original spacer and verify proper clearance
• If fasteners or adjacent parts are worn, replace them to ensure a secure fit
