A replacement mounting screw to secure appliance panels and components so parts stay properly fastened during normal use. Small but essential hardware for stable, rattle-free operation and reliable repairs. What it does:

• Fastens panels, brackets or components to the appliance chassis
• Prevents loose panels, vibration noise, or parts shifting during operation
• Used when original screw is lost, damaged, or stripped
• Restores proper fit and alignment after disassembly for service

• Disconnect power and water before starting any repair
• Use the correct screw type and length; do not force or substitute oversized fasteners
• Tighten until snug—avoid overtightening to prevent stripped threads or cracked parts
• Keep small parts away from children and pets

This surface element supplies heat to an electric range or cooktop burner. When it fails, the burner may not heat or may heat inconsistently. Replacing the element restores steady, reliable cooking performance.

• Converts electrical energy into heat for the cooking zone
• Works with the surface control (infinite switch) to regulate temperature
• Common symptoms: burner won't heat, intermittent or uneven heating, visible breaks/blistering, burnt/melted terminals
• A failed element will not glow or reach set temperature when energized

• Disconnect power at the breaker before servicing and allow the cooktop to cool completely
• If your model uses a plug-in coil style: remove the drip pan, pull the element straight out of the receptacle, and inspect/replace a heat-damaged receptacle as needed
• If your model uses an under-glass radiant style: lift the cooktop, transfer any clips/limiters from the old element, and route wires exactly as original
• After reassembly, test the burner at a low setting to ensure proper operation

• Can help resolve no-heat, slow/uneven heating, or intermittent heating issues
• Supports accurate temperature cycling when the element is functioning correctly

• 1 8-inch surface element

• Disconnect power to the appliance before servicing
• Allow the cooktop/range to cool completely before access
• Note wire locations and mounting/retaining hardware to transfer and reconnect exactly as found
