This machine screw is used across appliances to secure brackets, covers, and internal components. Replacing a missing or stripped fastener helps keep parts aligned and tight, reducing vibration and preventing loose or shifting assemblies.

• Provides machine-thread fastening for panels, brackets, and internal parts
• Helps eliminate rattling, vibration, and loose fits
• Restores proper attachment when the original screw is stripped, missing, or corroded
• Used wherever an 8-32 screw is specified in the service manual or parts list

• Disconnect power to the appliance; turn off gas/water if applicable
• Match the screw to the original location to confirm size and thread
• Start threads by hand to avoid cross-threading; use the correct driver
• Tighten snugly—do not overtighten to prevent stripping or cracking

The Small Surface Element is an OEM part for Whirlpool electric ranges and cooktops. This heating element is responsible for providing heat to a specific area on the cooktop, typically used for smaller pots and pans. It ensures even and efficient heating, allowing for precise cooking control.

Causes of a bad surface element can include regular wear and tear, overheating, or electrical malfunctions. A malfunctioning surface element can result in uneven heating, longer cooking times, or no heat at all.

Symptoms of a bad small surface element include:

• The element not heating up
• Uneven or inconsistent heating
• Sparks or electrical arcing when the element is turned on
• Visible damage or discoloration on the element

This OEM part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models.

This infinite switch controls heat levels for one cooktop burner, restoring precise temperature regulation for electric ranges. Replaces a worn or faulty burner control to help burners cycle and hold set heat. What it does:

• Regulates power to a single surface burner so you can set low to high heat levels
• Commonly used when a burner won't heat, has no low/high change, or heats inconsistently
• Steps the element through variable heat settings instead of a simple on/off
• Works with standard rotary knob controls

• Disconnect power at the breaker before accessing the range surface or control area
• Handle internal wiring carefully; match wire colors/positions during reinstallation
• If mounting screws, terminals, or insulation are damaged, replace them before use

• Heats cookware on the cooktop for boiling, frying and simmering
• Restores power to a burner that no longer heats or only heats intermittently
• Replaces elements with visible breaks, burn spots, or inconsistent temperature
• Works with the range's burner receptacle to complete the heating circuit

• Disconnect power to the range at the breaker or unplug before servicing.
• Replace by lifting the cooktop or removing the element from its receptacle per your model's service instructions.
