Parts for Kitchenaid YKMLS311HBS8: 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 fan motor moves air through the dryer to help remove moisture and maintain proper airflow. Replacing a worn or failed motor restores drying performance and reduces overheating risk. What it does:

• Spins the blower wheel to force air through the drum and vent
• Restores normal airflow when a dryer has weak or no air output
• Stops rattling or grinding noises caused by a failing motor bearing
• Helps prevent long dry times and potential overheating from restricted airflow

• One fan motor (single unit)

• Disconnect power to the appliance before beginning repair
• Access may require removing the dryer front or rear panel depending on model
• Support the drum or blower assembly when loosening mounting hardware to avoid damage

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
