This replacement thermostat is a temperature-sensitive switch used in select cooking appliances. It opens or closes at a fixed setpoint to control or limit heat, helping protect components and restore dependable operation of the affected circuit. What it does:

• Senses temperature at its mounting point and opens/closes electrical contacts at a designed setpoint
• Controls power to a heating or related circuit (such as an element or fan) to maintain safe operation
• Helps prevent overheating and protects internal components
• Failure can cause no heat, heat that shuts off prematurely, or a related circuit that won't turn on/off

• 1 thermostat

• Disconnect power to the appliance before servicing
• Access location varies by model; refer to your service manual for exact placement
• Move wires one at a time from the old part to the new to maintain correct connections
• Reinstall in the same orientation; ensure firm mounting for proper temperature sensing and secure electrical connections

This oven door gasket creates a tight seal between the door and the oven frame to hold in heat and help maintain consistent cooking temperatures. Replacing a worn seal can improve preheat times and reduce heat loss and spills from escaping.

• Seals the oven door perimeter to minimize heat and moisture loss
• Helps the oven reach and maintain set temperatures more reliably
• Can address issues like longer preheat, uneven baking, or heat escaping around the door
• Replaces gaskets that are torn, flattened, frayed, or brittle

• Disconnect power and allow the oven to cool completely before service
• Open the door and carefully remove the old gasket from its clips or channel
• Clean the sealing surfaces to remove debris and residue
• Seat the new gasket evenly around the perimeter without stretching or twisting

This control-panel switch restores reliable on/off control of a selected function on your range or wall oven. Replacing a worn or intermittent switch helps ensure the appliance responds consistently when you toggle that function.

• Directs power to the associated circuit when switched on or off
• Common symptoms: function won't turn on/off, intermittent operation, or the switch feels loose/sticks
• Helps restore positive, consistent control from the backguard/control panel

• Disconnect power at the breaker before servicing
• Access the switch from the control panel/backguard; retain screws/clips
• Label/photograph wire positions and transfer leads one at a time to the new switch
• Ensure firm terminal connections, reassemble, restore power, and test operation
