A self-tapping screw used to secure appliance panels and components, providing reliable fastening to sheet metal and plastic parts. Replaces worn or missing fasteners to restore proper fit and reduce rattling. What it does:

• Fastens panels, brackets, or trim to appliance frames and housings
• Creates its own threads in sheet metal or plastic for a secure hold
• Helps stop loose panels, vibration noise, and misaligned parts
• Commonly used where a short, durable fastener is needed

• Disconnect power and water before starting any repair
• Use the correct screwdriver or driver bit to avoid stripped heads
• Start threads carefully and avoid over-torquing to prevent damage
• Wear eye protection and gloves when working with sheet metal

This factory screw secures panels, brackets, or trim within your appliance. Replacing a missing or stripped fastener restores a tight fit, reduces vibration and rattles, and helps keep components aligned for reliable, long-term performance.

• Fastens panels, brackets, or trim to the appliance cabinet/frame
• Replaces damaged, rusted, or missing hardware
• Helps eliminate vibration noises, gaps, and loose-fitting parts
• Supports proper alignment of adjoining components

• Disconnect power; turn off gas/water supplies where applicable.
• Match to the original screw from your model's parts diagram before installation.
• Start threads by hand to avoid cross-threading; use the correct driver bit for the head.
• Tighten snugly—do not overtighten to prevent stripping threads or cracking plastic bosses.

This is a ground-wire screw used to attach a grounding conductor to the appliance chassis, ensuring a reliable electrical ground and safer operation. It matches the common 8-32 machine screw thread used on many Whirlpool appliances. What it does:

• Secures the ground wire to the appliance cabinet or grounding point
• Restores or maintains a continuous equipment ground for safe operation
• Helps prevent electrical shock and fault conditions when properly installed
• Fits locations that accept an 8-32 threaded screw for grounding

• One ground-wire screw

• Disconnect power before accessing electrical components or performing service
• Use the correct Phillips driver or nut-driver sized for 8-32 screws to avoid stripping
• Tighten until snug—do not over-torque; ensure the grounding conductor is under the screw head or terminal as intended
• If corrosion or damaged threads are present, clean or replace the mating hardware to ensure a secure ground

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 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.

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.

The Range Surface Element Wire Harness is an OEM part for Whirlpool ranges and cooktops. This harness routes power between the switches and surface heating elements.

Causes include continuous exposure to cooking heat, mechanical stress from opening/closing element covers, and standard wear over time.

Symptoms of a malfunctioning wire harness include:

• Inaccurate or inconsistent element temperature readings
• Elements failing to turn on or heating unevenly
• Error codes related to element malfunctions

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