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 Insulation is an OEM part compatible with Whirlpool ranges. It is made of thick fiberglass material installed behind oven and broiler walls. The insulation works to contain heat within the oven cavity and prevent it from transferring to external surfaces, keeping panels cool for safety. 

Symptoms of damaged insulation include:

• Outer range surfaces getting excessively hot during baking  
• Inefficient or improper heating of oven or broiler elements
• Potential energy efficiency and component longevity issues

Causes of damage can be deterioration of the fiberglass over time, punctures or compressing of material from cleaning or repairs.  

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

This control bracket secures the appliance control or console assembly, keeping the control board and user interface stable for reliable operation. It helps prevent loose or misaligned controls that can affect button response or display visibility. What it does:

• Provides a rigid mounting surface for the control board or console assembly
• Keeps control components aligned and stable during normal use
• Helps reduce vibration-related connector or wire stress
• Can restore proper fit and button alignment when the panel is loose

• One control bracket

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting any repair
• Handle the control board and wiring harness carefully to avoid damage
• Basic hand tools (screwdriver, nut driver) are typically required for removal/installation
• Reuse existing screws or verify hardware compatibility

This drawer panel replaces a damaged or worn storage-drawer front to restore appearance and proper drawer function. It provides a clean, finished front that secures the drawer and hides the internal cavity. What it does:

• Replaces a cracked, dented, scratched, or broken drawer front for a neater appearance
• Restores proper alignment and secure closure of the storage drawer
• Covers and protects the drawer cavity and internal components from dust and debris
• Helps eliminate rattling or loose-feeling drawer operation caused by a damaged front

• One drawer panel

• Disconnect power to the appliance before beginning any service as a general safety precaution
• Remove the drawer per the appliance service instructions to access mounting clips or screws
• Handle replacement panel carefully to avoid scratching the finish during installation
• Use only the specified mounting clips/screws and replace any broken fasteners for a secure fit

This spring clip is a small metal retainer used to secure wiring or small components in place, preventing movement and accidental disconnection. It helps maintain reliable electrical and mechanical connections inside the appliance. What it does:

• Holds wiring harnesses or small terminals securely to reduce chafing and intermittent connections
• Keeps connectors and small components from shifting during operation or transport
• Helps prevent wire strain that can cause shorts or loss of function
• Commonly replaced when clip is bent, broken, or missing and wiring becomes loose

• One spring clip

• Turn off power to the appliance at the breaker before inspecting or replacing
• Use needle-nose pliers to compress and seat the clip; avoid forcing or over-bending
• Verify the clip secures the intended wire or terminal without pinching insulation
• If wiring shows damage, replace the wiring/harness per OEM guidance rather than relying on the clip alone

The Radiant Surface Element is an OEM part for Whirlpool ranges. It provides the heat necessary for cooking by radiating heat through the cooktop surface. This element is designed to fit under the glass surface of your range, delivering consistent and even heat for various cooking tasks.

Causes of a bad radiant surface element can include wear and tear from regular use, overheating, or damage due to impact. Electrical issues can also affect the performance of the element, leading to inconsistent heating.

Symptoms of a bad Radiant Surface Element include:

• Uneven heating or hot spots
• The element not heating up at all
• Visible damage or burn marks on the element
• Difficulty in controlling the temperature

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

Note: 2500 watts R/F element

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
