This terminal block provides an insulated, secure junction for incoming power or harness leads inside the appliance. Replacing a cracked, loose, or heat-damaged block restores a safe, reliable connection and helps prevent arcing or intermittent power.

• Creates a fixed, insulated junction between external supply wires and internal appliance wiring
• Maintains tight screw-lug connections to minimize resistance and heat buildup
• Helps ensure steady power delivery to controls, motors, and heaters
• Common indicators of failure: melted/discolored block, burning odor, visible arcing, loose or stripped terminals, intermittent or no power

• Disconnect power at the breaker and verify zero voltage before servicing
• Photograph/label wire positions; transfer one lead at a time to the new block
• Tighten terminal screws firmly; do not overtighten into the insulator
• Inspect wire ends/ring terminals and strain relief; replace any heat-damaged components per the service information

This speed nut is a stamped metal retaining clip designed to hold screws or fasteners securely to appliance panels and trim. It provides a simple, vibration-resistant connection that keeps covers and components in place. What it does:

• Secures screws to thin sheet metal or panel edges where a threaded hole isn't available
• Provides a firm, vibration-resistant attachment for panels, trim, or small components
• Helps prevent screws from loosening or backing out during normal use
• Commonly used where a captive nut or clip is required for assembly or repair

• One speed nut / retaining clip

• Disconnect power and unplug the appliance before starting any repair
• Position the clip over the panel edge or hole so the screw can engage the clip's thread; press or tap gently until seated
• Use the correct screw size and avoid over-tightening to prevent deforming the clip or striping threads
• Wear gloves and eye protection when handling sharp sheet metal edges

Includes one rock plate. 2 used per unit. For the support order 700819.

This clip secures appliance panels or small components to maintain alignment and reduce vibration, restoring the original fit where a worn or broken fastener allows movement or rattling. Simple, direct-fit replacement when the original clip fails. What it does:

• Holds trim, panels, or small components in position to prevent rattling and shifting.
• Replaces broken or missing fasteners that allow loose or misaligned parts.
• Helps keep wiring harnesses or insulation routed and secured in assemblies.
• Small, inexpensive part commonly used wherever a retaining clip is specified.

• Always disconnect power (unplug or shut off circuit) before servicing the appliance.
• Remove panels or trim per the manufacturer service sheet to access the clip; note the clip orientation before removal.
• Use appropriate tools (needle-nose pliers, trim tool) and avoid over-bending the clip or adjacent parts.
• Replace them with the correct OEM-specified clips for reliable fit.

Screw: 8-16 x 3/8 inch.

This sheet-metal pan-head screw secures appliance panels, brackets, and components to the cabinet or frame. Replacing a missing or damaged screw restores a tight fit and helps stop rattles, misalignment, and loosening.

• Fastens sheet-metal panels, covers, ducts, and brackets to the appliance chassis
• Helps keep components aligned and secure during operation
• Replace if the original is missing, rusted, stripped, or damaged
• Common symptoms: loose or vibrating panels, gaps or misaligned parts, hardware that won't tighten

• Disconnect power; shut off gas or water supply before servicing
• Support the panel or part being attached; hand-start threads to avoid cross-threading
• Use the correct driver bit; tighten snugly but do not overtighten into sheet metal
• If multiple matching screws secure a part, consider replacing them as a set for consistent hold

This is a high-heat ceramic light receptacle used in select appliances. It provides a safe, insulated socket for the appliance light bulb so you can reliably see inside during use or service.

• Holds and insulates the bulb in high-temperature areas
• Restores lighting when the bulb is good but the light won't turn on
• Helps correct loose, flickering, or intermittent interior light
• Common signs include a cracked/scorched socket or arcing at the bulb base

• Disconnect power before servicing; allow the appliance to cool completely
