Parts for Kitchenaid KMBT5011KSS01: Air Flow Parts

This deflector is an air baffle that helps direct airflow and protect nearby components inside the appliance, improving temperature distribution and preventing debris buildup. Fits the original mounting points for a correct replacement. What it does:

• Directs internal airflow to help maintain even temperature or ventilation
• Shields nearby parts from heat, moisture, and lint or debris
• Helps reduce rattling or air-related noise when damaged or missing
• Common symptom: uneven heating, poor airflow, or visible broken/misaligned deflector

• Always disconnect power before attempting any repair
• Inspect surrounding clips or screws and replace any fasteners if worn
• Typically installs at existing mounting points;

This deflector redirects airflow inside the appliance to protect internal components and help maintain even temperature and drying performance. It's a simple, durable replacement that restores proper air routing in the affected chamber. What it does:

• Guides internal airflow to prevent hot or cold spots and protect nearby parts
• Helps restore intended venting and circulation for consistent operation
• Can reduce overheating or uneven drying symptoms when worn or damaged
• Prevents debris from entering sensitive areas when the original deflector is broken

• Designed for drop-in or fasten-in replacement; confirm orientation before fastening
• Disconnect power and water before beginning any repair
• Handle carefully to avoid sharp edges; use basic hand tools

This oven temperature sensor senses cooking cavity heat and sends accurate temperature readings to the range control so your oven can reach and maintain set cooking temperatures. Replaces a failed or intermittent sensor for consistent performance. What it does:

• Detects oven cavity temperature and relays readings to the controller
• Helps the oven maintain set temperatures for proper cooking and baking
• Common fix when oven won't heat correctly or displays inaccurate temps

• One oven temperature sensor (W10557536)

• Disconnect power to the appliance before servicing to avoid shock
• Handle the sensor and connector carefully; avoid bending or crimping the probe
• Verify connector type and routing match your model before final assembly

This is a thermal safety fuse that opens the circuit if temperatures rise beyond a safe limit, protecting the appliance from overheating and preventing further damage. Replacing a failed fuse restores power to the affected circuit once the underlying cause is addressed.

• Monitors temperature in a protected circuit and cuts power if unsafe heat is detected
• Helps prevent overheating-related damage
• Typical failure signs: no power/no operation, cycle won't start, shuts off mid-cycle after overheating event
• Must not be bypassed; replace if open and investigate the root cause of overheating

• Unplug appliance or disconnect power before service
• Verify the fuse is open with a multimeter; replace only after correcting any airflow/overheating issues
• Install in the same orientation and location as the original to ensure proper temperature sensing
• Handle wiring carefully; transfer connectors one at a time to avoid miswiring

This block-style fuse holder secures and connects the appliance fuse to the wiring harness, restoring a safe electrical connection and thermal protection. Use it when the original fuse block is cracked, corroded, or no longer holding the fuse securely. What it does:

• Holds and connects the appliance fuse to the wiring harness so the thermal/overload fuse can function.
• Restores reliable electrical contact when the original block is cracked, melted, or corroded.
• Addresses symptoms such as intermittent power, no heat, or appliance not starting when caused by a bad fuse connection.
• Works with the existing fuse and wiring—does not replace the fuse itself.

• Disconnect power to the appliance before inspecting or replacing this part.
• Replace any damaged wiring, connectors, or insulation found during replacement; do not cut corners or bypass thermal safety devices.

This magnetron generates the microwave energy that heats food in your microwave oven. Replacing a failed magnetron restores cooking power so the oven can heat and cook food properly. What it does:

• Converts high-voltage power into microwave energy for heating
• Restores normal cooking when the oven no longer heats or heats weakly
• Commonly linked to loud humming, arcing, burning smells, or no-heat symptoms
• Requires correct alignment and secure mounting to prevent arcing

• Disconnect power and allow the capacitor to discharge; high voltage can be lethal
• Handle the ceramic antenna and terminals carefully; physical damage can cause failure
• Use original mounting hardware and follow microwave OEM wiring diagrams for correct connections
• Do not operate the microwave without all shielding and covers properly reinstalled
