Parts for Whirlpool WML55011HS2: Air Flow Parts

This electronic control board manages the appliance's user interface and core timed/logic functions, restoring proper control and display operation when the original board fails. It replaces a faulty console control to return normal appliance responsiveness. What it does

• Receives input from the console and sends commands to heating, timing, and status systems
• Controls the display, clock/timer, and user touchpad or button responses
• A failed board can cause unresponsive controls, no or erratic display, or incorrect cycle operation
• Helps resolve intermittent or persistent electronic control faults when diagnosed as the defective component

• Disconnect power (unplug or shut off breaker) before servicing to avoid shock or damage
• Access requires removing the console or control panel; keep screws and fasteners organized
• Handle the board carefully to avoid static damage and contact corrosion; avoid touching circuit traces

This capacitor stores and releases electrical energy to help an AC motor start and run smoothly. Replacing a weak or failed capacitor can restore reliable motor operation and reduce humming, no-start, or stall conditions.

• Provides the phase shift and starting torque an induction motor needs to start
• Helps the motor reach and maintain proper speed under load
• Common symptoms of a failing capacitor: motor hums but won't start, intermittent starts, slow or stalled rotation, or frequent thermal trips
• Visible clues may include a swollen case or leaking residue

• Disconnect power to the appliance before servicing; verify no voltage is present
• Capacitors can retain a charge—discharge safely before handling
• Note wire positions; move leads to the new capacitor one at a time and ensure snug terminal fit
• Reuse the original bracket/clip if applicable and secure the capacitor to prevent vibration

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

The Fan Motor is an OEM part for Whirlpool microwaves. This part is responsible for circulating air and removing steam, smoke, and odors from your microwave.

A bad vent fan motor can occur due to normal wear and tear, overheating, or electrical malfunction. If you notice symptoms such as weak or noisy fan operation, the fan not turning on at all, or poor ventilation performance, it may be time to replace this part.

Symptoms of a bad vent fan motor include:

• Weak or noisy fan operation
• Fan not turning on at all
• Poor ventilation performance

Restore your Whirlpool microwave by replacing the worn or damaged vent fan motor with this genuine OEM part.

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

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

The Lamp Housing is an OEM component for Whirlpool microwaves. It surrounds the interior light bulb that brightens the cooking cavity during operation.  

Designed to fit seamlessly inside the top of the microwave, this housing utilizes precision mounting rails and slots for easy removable installation of standard LED bulbs. Rigid construction withstands continuous vibration and heat from microwave activity above.

Symptoms of a faulty lamp housing can include:  

• Inoperative or flickering cooking cavity lighting
• Visible cracks or stress marks along mounting points  
• Detached cover and exposed bulb posing shock hazards
• Discoloration from prolonged high-temperature exposure

Replace yours with this genuine Whirlpool housing to restore dependable light to illuminate every dish prepared. Compatible for safer visibility among many Kenmore, Jenn-Air, and KitchenAid microwaves. 

The Light Bulb is an OEM part for Whirlpool microwaves. It provides illumination within the microwave cavity, enhancing visibility so you can monitor your cooking without opening the door. This feature is essential for convenience and to ensure proper cooking, as it helps to prevent heat loss and maintain the microwave’s energy efficiency.

Symptoms of a bad Light Bulb include:

• The microwave interior remaining dark despite the appliance being in use.
• Flickering or inconsistent lighting when the microwave is operating.
• The bulb not turning on, indicating it may be burnt out or there is a connection issue.

Causes of a bad light bulb can include filament wear out due to prolonged use, damage from moisture or grease exposure inside the microwave, or electrical surges that can shorten the bulb's lifespan.

This OEM part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models, ensuring it fits a wide range of microwave models.

The Magnetron is an OEM part for Whirlpool microwaves. As a main cooking component, it produces microwave energy for safe, fast food reheating and preparation. 

Symptoms of a bad magnetron include:

• Slow or inefficient cooking needs increased time   
• Uneven heating causes cold or hot spots in dishes
• High-pitched humming or crackling from within the unit  
• Diminished or no power delivery for intended functions
