Vdsc3676bss Parts

This surface burner grate supports cookware above the flame on a gas range or cooktop. Replacing a cracked or warped grate restores a stable, level cooking surface and proper pan-to-burner clearance for safer, consistent heating.

• Supports pots and pans over the burner at the correct cooking height
• Helps keep cookware level and stable during use
• Allows proper heat/flame circulation around the pan
• Common fix for: broken, cracked, chipped, or warped grates; rocking pans or unstable cookware

• Turn all burners off and allow the surface to cool completely before handling
• Lift off the old grate; clean the burner area of debris and residue
• Place the new grate so it seats flush and level; verify it does not rock
• Avoid dropping or sliding the grate to prevent damage to the grate or cooktop

This black fiberglass rope is a high-temperature sealing rope used to restore a tight seal on ovens, ranges, and other heated enclosures. It helps reduce heat loss and prevents smoke or odors from escaping around doors and openings. What it does:

• Provides a durable, heat-resistant seal where original rope/gasket has worn or frayed
• Helps contain oven/range heat for more even cooking and efficient operation
• Reduces smoke, burning smells, and drafts caused by gaps around doors or panels
• Commonly used around oven doors, broiler compartments, and other high-temp openings

• Handle with gloves to avoid skin irritation from fiberglass fibers
• Clean and dry the mating surfaces before installing the rope for best fit
• Trim to length and seat into the original channel or groove; follow OEM placement
• If the original used adhesive or clips, use the same type per the appliance manual; follow manufacturer instructions

This thermo-disc bracket secures the thermo-disc/thermal cutoff assembly so the temperature sensor stays properly positioned for reliable oven temperature sensing and safety. It's a direct-fit replacement bracket for affected VDSC assemblies. What it does

• Holds the thermo-disc or thermal cutoff in the correct position so it senses oven temperature accurately
• Keeps the sensing device stable to prevent false trips or intermittent temperature control
• Helps maintain proper operation of temperature-limiting safety components
• Can be replaced when bent, cracked, or corroded to restore secure mounting

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting any repair
• Handle the thermo-disc/thermal cutoff carefully—avoid damaging the sensor element or leads
• Basic tools are typically required; alignment and secure mounting are important for correct sensing

This anti-tip device is the floor-mount bracket that secures a range or freestanding oven to help prevent tipping when the door is opened. It provides a simple safety anchor for stable operation. What it does:

• Anchors the appliance to the floor to reduce the risk of forward tipping
• Helps prevent the range from shifting when heavy cookware is on the open door
• Addresses symptoms such as an appliance that rocks, shifts, or feels unstable at the front
• Works as the anchor point used with the appliance's factory-installed rear bracket

• Follow the appliance manufacturer's instructions and use hardware appropriate for your floor type
• Pull the range clear and disconnect power before installing or adjusting the device
• Secure bracket to the floor or subfloor and engage the range's rear bracket per the OEM procedure
• The range is stable and that the anti-tip engages when the unit is pushed forward

This thermal bulb shield protects the oven temperature sensing bulb from spills, drips, and direct contact while allowing accurate temperature sensing for consistent cooking results. Fits behind the oven cavity where the sensor bulb is mounted. What it does:

• Covers and shields the oven temperature sensing bulb to prevent damage from food, utensils, or cleaning
• Helps maintain accurate temperature readings by protecting the sensor from direct contamination
• Reduces risk of bulb breakage that can cause oven temperature errors or require replacement
• Common symptom: oven temperature inaccurate or sensor exposed/physically damaged

• One thermal bulb shield

• Turn off power to the appliance and allow the oven to cool completely before servicing
• Handle the sensing bulb carefully; avoid direct contact or force on the bulb when installing the shield
• Use appropriate screws/fasteners retained from the original assembly; do not overtighten
