Range / Cooktop / Oven I Retainer Manual Parts

This precision-formed link is part of the range/oven door lock mechanism. It connects latch components so the lock engages and releases smoothly, helping ensure safe self-clean cycles and a properly secured oven door. What it does:

• Transfers motion between the lock motor/handle and the latch bolt
• Maintains correct alignment for consistent lock engagement and release
• Common symptoms of a worn/bent link: door won't lock or unlock, self-clean won't start/finish, or door lock error codes; latch action feels loose or binds

• 1 link

• Disconnect power at the breaker before servicing
• Access the latch assembly per your model's service procedure (top/back panel removal is common)
• Note linkage and spring orientation; take photos for reference
• Manually cycle the latch to ensure smooth movement before restoring power

This crystal retainer secures the clear lens on the appliance's control panel, keeping it properly seated and protected. Replacing a damaged or missing retainer restores a snug fit and helps prevent the lens from shifting or rattling.

• Holds the lens/crystal firmly in place to protect the window over the clock/timer or display
• Maintains proper alignment and a clean, finished appearance around the panel window
• Helps reduce vibration, rattling, or gaps around the lens area
• Failure may show as a loose or missing window, uneven fit, or buzzing from the panel

• Disconnect power at the breaker before servicing
• Access the retainer from behind the control panel; remove covers/screws as needed to reach the lens area
• Support the lens while removing/installing the retainer so it doesn't fall
• Wear gloves and eye protection; sheet-metal edges can be sharp

This oven light lens retainer secures the glass light cover to the oven cavity so the bulb area stays protected during cooking. Replacing a damaged or missing retainer keeps the lens firmly in place and prevents nuisance loosening.

• Holds the glass light lens securely inside the oven cavity
• Helps shield the bulb area from splatters and debris
• Direct replacement for a bent, warped, or missing retainer ring
• Common symptoms: lens won't stay in, cover rattles, or difficulty securing the lens after service

• Disconnect power at the breaker and allow the oven to cool completely
• Remove oven racks for easier access to the light cover area
• Support the glass lens while positioning the retainer to avoid drops or chipping
• Secure the retainer per your model's design; do not overtighten

This cable clamp secures the appliance power cord where it enters the cabinet, protecting wiring from pull and chafe for safer, more reliable operation. Designed to hold the cord firmly in place and prevent accidental disconnection. What it does:

• Acts as a strain relief to prevent the power cord from pulling into or away from the appliance
• Protects wiring from abrasion and sharp edges at the entry point
• Helps maintain a secure electrical connection to reduce intermittent power issues
• Commonly used where the cord passes through a rear or bottom access panel

• Disconnect power before inspecting or replacing the clamp to avoid shock or injury
• Install at the cord entry so the clamp captures the cord jacket; tighten fastener securely but do not over-torque
• Verify the cord is correctly routed and not pinched when reassembling panels
• If any wiring or the cord jacket is damaged, replace the cord before restoring power
