Parts for Maytag AMC5101AAS14: 05 - Microwave Interior Parts

The Diode is an OEM part for Whirlpool microwaves. It plays a crucial role in the microwave's operation by allowing electrical current to flow in one direction, essential for converting AC power to DC power, which is necessary for the microwave's components to function correctly.

Over time, the diode can fail due to electrical surges, general wear and tear, or exposure to high heat. A bad diode can disrupt the microwave's ability to heat food properly, leading to inefficient performance or complete appliance failure.

Symptoms of a bad diode include:

• Microwave not heating
• Sparking or unusual noises during operation
• Burning smell from the microwave
•  Microwave shutting down shortly after starting

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

This baseless light bulb restores the washer drum light so you can clearly see inside during loading and unloading. Replace a failed lamp to regain visibility and help prevent small items from being missed. What it does:

• Illuminates the washer drum when the light feature is activated
• Replaces a burned-out or damaged baseless lamp in the drum light assembly
• Common symptoms: light won't turn on, flickers intermittently, or the bulb appears darkened/broken
• Helps you check for remaining items after a cycle

• Includes 1 baseless light bulb

• Disconnect power to the appliance before servicing
• Allow the old bulb to cool completely before handling
• Access the drum light housing; pull the old bulb's leads straight out and insert the new bulb's leads fully into the socket
• Avoid touching the glass; handle the new bulb with clean gloves or tissue, then restore power and test

The Fuse is an OEM part for Whirlpool microwaves. It is a crucial safety component designed to protect the microwave from electrical surges and potential short circuits by breaking the circuit if the current flow exceeds safe levels.

Causes of a bad microwave fuse can include electrical surges, faulty wiring, or normal wear and tear over time. A blown fuse will render the microwave inoperable, as it cuts off the power supply to prevent further damage or hazards.

Symptoms of a bad microwave fuse include:

• The microwave not powering on
• The microwave stopping mid-operation
• No response from the control panel or keypad
• Sudden loss of power during use

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

This electronic main control board assembly manages the oven's timed functions and user commands so the appliance runs cycles correctly and responds to panel inputs. It replaces a failed control module to restore normal operation. What it does

• Receives and processes inputs from the front control panel and sensors to run selected cycles
• Controls timing, cycle selection, and various operational relays on the appliance
• Common symptoms: appliance won't start, unresponsive controls, incorrect or no cycles, or intermittent operation
• May resolve display errors or fault codes caused by a failed control board

• Disconnect power to the appliance before attempting service to avoid electric shock
• Handle the board carefully; avoid static discharge and contact with printed circuits
• Verify screw locations, connector seating, and grounding during reassembly
