The Oven Temperature Sensor is an OEM part for Whirlpool ovens. This component is responsible for monitoring the oven's internal temperature, sending data to the control board to maintain the desired cooking temperature. It ensures accurate temperature readings, which are essential for baking, roasting, and other cooking functions. 

Causes of a bad Oven Temperature Sensor include prolonged exposure to high temperatures, which can degrade its responsiveness over time. Additionally, physical damage or wear and tear can lead to inaccurate temperature readings.

Symptoms of a bad Oven Temperature Sensor include:

• The oven temperature is inconsistent with the setting.
• Food is not cooking evenly or as expected.
• The oven fails to reach the set temperature, or it overshoots it significantly.
• Error codes related to temperature regulation appear on the oven's display.

This OEM Whirlpool part can also be used on Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore/Sears brand appliances.

• Clicking sound without ignition
• Intermittent ignition problems

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

This surface burner head distributes gas to the flame on a gas cooktop or range burner. Replacing a worn or clogged head helps restore even flame, reliable ignition, and consistent heat on the affected burner.

• Channels gas from the orifice through burner ports to create a uniform flame pattern under the cap
• Works with the spark electrode to ignite the gas
• A damaged or clogged head can cause: burner won't light or only clicks; uneven/yellow flame; weak or low heat on that burner
• Carbon buildup or corrosion on the head can lead to delayed ignition

• Disconnect power and shut off gas; allow the surface to cool completely
• Remove the burner cap; take off the old head and retain any mounting screws
• Align the new head over the orifice and spark electrode; seat flat and secure
• Clean burner ports and cap before testing for a steady, blue flame

This spark module controls ignition for four surface burners and provides automatic reignition if a flame goes out. It generates the high-voltage spark and monitors flame for dependable lighting and consistent cooktop performance.

• Generates high-voltage pulses to ignite up to four surface burners
• Senses flame presence and automatically re-sparks if a flame is lost
• Helps stop sparking once flame is detected to reduce clicking
• Symptoms this part is involved with include: no spark on any burner, intermittent or weak spark, or continuous clicking after lighting

• Disconnect power and shut off gas before servicing
• Access is typically under the cooktop or behind a panel; mount the module securely away from heat and moisture
• Transfer wires one at a time to matching terminals; ensure ground/neutral connections are secure for proper flame sensing
• After reassembly, restore power and test each burner for ignition and that clicking stops when flame is present

This burner head distributes gas evenly around the burner for a steady flame and reliable ignition. Replace a worn or clogged head to restore even heating, proper simmering, and consistent burner performance on your gas range or cooktop.

• Spreads gas from the orifice through ports to create an even, controlled flame ring
• Works with the burner cap and igniter/electrode for quick, consistent lighting
• Replace if ports are clogged, corroded, cracked, or warped causing uneven/yellow flames, delayed ignition, or popping
• Can help when the igniter sparks but the burner won't light or the flame won't spread

• Disconnect power and shut off gas; allow the surface to cool completely
• Remove the burner cap, then lift off the old head (some models use a retaining screw—reuse existing hardware)
• Align the new head with the orifice and igniter; seat fully and level
• Reassemble and test for proper ignition and flame; do not enlarge or clean ports with hard objects

This surface igniter electrode creates the spark that lights the gas at the burner. Replacing a worn or cracked electrode restores quick, reliable ignition and helps stop constant clicking or burners that only light with a match.

• Generates a high-voltage spark at the burner head to ignite gas
• Connects to the spark module via the attached lead wire
• Typical symptoms: burner won't spark or light, intermittent or weak spark, delayed ignition, visible cracks in the ceramic insulator
• Helps address arcing to ground or persistent clicking at a single burner

• Disconnect power and shut off gas before servicing; allow the cooktop/range to cool
• Remove grates, burner caps, and burner heads to access the electrode
• Route and connect the lead securely to the spark module; avoid pinching or chafing the wire
• Set the electrode tip gap/alignment near the burner per the original position; avoid stressing the ceramic insulator
• Test for proper spark and ignition before full reassembly

This gas pressure regulator stabilizes incoming supply to your range or oven, delivering consistent burner flames. Replacing a failed regulator can restore proper heat output and reliable ignition across surface, bake, and broil burners.

• Regulates household gas supply to the appliance manifold for stable burner operation
• Helps maintain consistent flame height and heat in the oven and on the cooktop
• Protects downstream gas components from overpressure
• Failure symptoms include weak flames on all burners, oven or broiler not heating, or repeated clicking with no ignition

• Disconnect power, shut off gas supply, and allow the appliance to cool before servicing
• Observe flow-direction/orientation arrows and connect inlet/outlet ports correctly
• Apply an approved gas-rated thread sealant to threaded joints; avoid overtightening
• After installation, leak-test all connections with an approved solution—never use an open flame

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.

• Directs and evens the flame across the burner for consistent heating
• Shields the burner head and ports from spills and debris
• Helps promote reliable ignition when properly seated on the burner head
• Common signs it's needed: uneven or yellow flames, delayed ignition, flames lifting or noisy, visible chips/warping

• Ensure the cooktop/range is cool; disconnect power and shut off gas if working near igniters
• Lift off the old cap and clean the burner head/ports; do not enlarge or damage the ports
• Place the new cap on the matching burner, centered and seated flat; do not interchange sizes between burners
• Light the burner and confirm a steady, even blue flame; reseat the cap if the flame is uneven

This burner cap sits on top of the surface burner head to shape the flame and shield the head from spills. Replacing a damaged or missing cap helps restore even heating, reliable ignition, and the cooktop's original appearance.

• Covers the burner head and disperses flame for more even cooking
