This is a bulb clip, also known as a sensor clip or bulb holder, which is designed to hold the thermostat bulb in place within the interior of various models of ovens. This clip is made of metal, measures approximately 1-inch in length and is a genuine OEM part, but is sold by itself and without the thermostat itself. The thermostat bulb,...Read more also known as a capillary thermostat, is used to measure the interior temperature of the oven during operation, and this clip secures it. If you notice your oven heats unevenly, too little or too much, this clip may be rusted, broken or damaged and causing the thermostat bulb to not detect the internal temperature properly. To replace this clip, you will likely need your user manual and a screwdriver and/or wrench. You will first need to disconnect your oven from the wall outlet and remove it from the wall. Use your user manual to locate the thermostat and use your screwdriver and/or wrench to remove the panel covering it. Here, you can likely replace the old clip with the new one, and then reassemble your oven.

NOTE: My Tappan oven (model 77 4972 23) is 33 years old & it was difficult to find the correct part number for the broiler element. Part No. 5303051140 (PS 453940) costs only $18.00 but won't work because the plate that screws onto the oven is only 1.5 inches wide and it needs to be 3.75 inches wide to fit. The part number that works (

First thing I did was turn off power to the range at the circuit breaker. The repair was generally easy with the exception that 1 screw holding the broiler element support was "welded" into the oven ceiling. I stripped the screw trying to get it out. Fortunately, I had a special tool that allows one to grip the outer edge of the screw while turning it --- and that's how I got it apart. Once the broiler element support was off, I removed 2 screws from the 3.75 inch plate holding the broiler element itself to the oven wall and carefully pulled the broiler element out from the oven wall and detached the wire clips connecting the wires to the broiler element. I reattached the clips onto the new element and installed the new element back into the oven wall. I then reattached the broiler element support using a another screw (because I decimated the original one). I then turned the circuit breaker back on and turned the broiler on. Voila. My broiler works again! Special thanks to the people at this site who were very helpful in seeing to it I got the correct broiler element. The original ordered broiler element was delivered to the wrong address. The folks at this site sent me another one. To make a long story short, they saw to it I got the correct part. I highly recommend this site based on my experience with them. GREAT customer service!!
