The 40W Light Bulb is an OEM replacement part for Whirlpool microwave ovens. It is a standard-size bulb designed to provide illumination inside the microwave cavity, allowing you to easily view and monitor the cooking or reheating process.

Symptoms of a faulty microwave light bulb include:

• Dimming or flickering light during operation
• Complete bulb failure or no illumination within the cavity
• Discoloration or physical damage to the bulb itself

Causes of a bad microwave light bulb can include normal wear and tear over time, electrical surges or voltage fluctuations, or physical impact or vibration during use.

This OEM Whirlpool part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore microwave oven models.

This fixed thermostat senses temperature and opens or closes the electrical circuit to control heating. It replaces a failed temperature-sensing switch to restore proper heating control and safety. What it does:

• Monitors appliance temperature and interrupts power when the set limit is reached
• Prevents overheating by opening the circuit at high temperatures
• Restores normal heating control when a failed thermostat causes no heat or continuous heating
• Works as a safety/limit device in the appliance's heating system

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting any repair
• Handle the thermostat and sensing element gently; avoid bending or stressing terminals
• Refer to the appliance service manual or OEM instructions for proper placement and mounting

This electrical safety fuse opens the circuit when a short or overcurrent occurs. Replacing a blown fuse can help restore power after the root cause is corrected, protecting controls and wiring from further damage.

• Protects the appliance by interrupting power during overcurrent or short-circuit events
• When open/blown, the appliance may be completely unresponsive
• Helps prevent damage to control boards and wiring during faults
• Often fails after a component shorts or a power surge occurs

• Disconnect power to the appliance before servicing
• Use a multimeter to test the fuse for continuity; replace only if open
• Install a fuse with the exact same rating and form factor as the original
• If the new fuse blows again, stop and diagnose the underlying fault; consider service for high-voltage systems

This fuse block is the appliance electrical terminal used to secure and connect a fuse or wire harness, restoring a safe electrical path for heating and motor circuits. It helps maintain reliable power transfer inside the appliance. What it does:

• Provides a secure mounting point and electrical connection for a fuse or inline connection
• Enables proper power flow between the control and high-voltage components
• Can cause loss of power, intermittent operation, or heating issues when damaged or corroded
• Replaces a worn, cracked, or melted terminal block to restore safe connections

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting any work
• Handle wiring carefully; secure all splices and fasteners to manufacturer torque recommendations

Fastener screw

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
