Wm30430b Parts

This safety thermostat monitors internal temperature and opens the circuit if the appliance overheats. Replacing a failed high-limit thermostat restores heat and helps protect controls, wiring, and nearby components from thermal damage. What it does:

• Monitors temperature and interrupts power to the heating circuit if an unsafe temperature is reached
• Helps prevent overheating damage to internal components
• When failed open, can cause no heat or cause the unit to shut off during high-heat operation
• At room temperature it should read closed/continuous; an open reading indicates replacement is needed

• 1 high-limit thermostat

• Disconnect power at the breaker (and shut off gas supply if applicable) before servicing
• Access location varies by model; commonly mounted to the oven cavity, plenum, or rear panel
• Transfer wires one at a time and mount the thermostat flush to its surface or bracket
• After replacement, verify proper airflow/cooling and address any root causes of overheating

This oven door hinge receptacle mounts in the cabinet frame and receives the door hinge arm. Replacing a worn receptacle restores proper door support and closure for a consistent seal and safe, reliable oven operation.

• Secures the door hinge arm to the oven/range frame
• Maintains door alignment to help the gasket seal properly
• Supports smooth opening/closing and prevents the door from disengaging
• Common symptoms: door won't close fully, door sags or feels loose, hinge won't engage or the door detaches easily

• Disconnect power (and gas, if applicable) and allow the appliance to cool completely
• Remove the oven door and support it to prevent damage
• Access the receptacle at the frame; remove mounting screws, install the new receptacle using existing hardware, and tighten securely
• Check door alignment and operation before returning the unit to service

This factory fastener secures appliance components and panels. Replacing worn, stripped, or missing screws restores a tight, rattle-free fit and keeps parts properly aligned for dependable performance.

• Fastens brackets, panels, and internal parts in the specified location
• Helps maintain alignment and reduces vibration or rattling
• Direct replacement for a missing, damaged, or stripped screw
• Symptoms include loose or shifting parts, gaps, or buzzing/rattle noises

• Disconnect power; turn off water or gas supply if applicable
• Use the correct driver; start threads by hand to avoid cross-threading
• Tighten until snug—do not overtighten
• Inspect/repair stripped threads or damaged mating hardware before installation

A shoulder screw that secures appliance components and provides a precise pivot or spacer point. Replaces a missing or worn screw to restore alignment, reduce rattling, and keep panels and assemblies securely in place. What it does:

• Provides a fixed-diameter shoulder for pivots, spacers, or mounting points in assemblies.
• Holds panels and moving components at the correct distance to prevent binding or friction.
• A missing or worn shoulder screw can cause misalignment, rattling, or loose parts during operation.
• Used where a smooth-bearing surface and controlled clearance are required between parts.

• Disconnect power to the appliance (unplug or shut off breaker) before servicing.
• Handle small fasteners carefully to avoid dropping into assemblies; magnetic pickup tools can help.
• Start threads by hand to avoid cross-threading; tighten snugly but avoid overtightening.

This oven temperature probe senses the cooking cavity temperature so the range control can regulate heat for accurate baking and roasting. It replaces a failed or intermittent sensor to restore correct temperature feedback. What it does:

• Measures oven temperature and sends the signal to the control board for proper heating control
• Helps correct symptoms such as oven not reaching set temperature, inconsistent baking, or temperature error codes
• Provides the oven control with the feedback needed for timed cooking and self-clean cycles
• Replaces a damaged or open/shorted probe that causes incorrect temperature readings

• One temperature probe

• Disconnect power (unplug or shut off breaker) before servicing to avoid shock
• Handle the sensor and connector gently to avoid damage; route and secure wiring as originally installed
• Reconnect wiring fully and verify secure connection; test oven function and temperature accuracy after installation

A single pop rivet used to secure sheet-metal parts and small brackets on appliances for a permanent, vibration-resistant hold. Replaces missing or damaged rivets to restore proper attachment without welding. What it does:

• Provides a permanent blind-rivet fastening point for panels, brackets and trim.
• Replaces rivets that are sheared, loose or missing and prevents rattling or misalignment.
• Ideal where a solid, tamper-resistant join is required and screws aren't suitable.
• Works with a compatible pop-rivet tool for quick installation.

• Drill out the old rivet carefully; use the proper size hole for the replacement rivet.
• Use a dedicated pop-rivet tool and wear eye protection during installation.

This 20-amp circuit breaker restores overcurrent protection to the appliance's electrical circuit, helping prevent damage from short circuits or overloads. It replaces a worn or tripped breaker so the appliance can receive proper power. What it does:

• Acts as an overcurrent safety device that trips when current exceeds safe limits
• Protects wiring and components from damage caused by overloads or short circuits
• Common symptom: appliance won't power on or stops powering intermittently
• Common symptom: breaker repeatedly trips during normal operation

• Disconnect power at the house breaker before inspecting or replacing the part
• Handle terminals carefully; ensure connectors are fully seated and tight
• Replace with the exact part number for fit and proper electrical rating
