This thermostat is a temperature-sensing safety switch used in microwave ovens. It monitors heat and opens the circuit during an over-temperature condition to protect internal components and help prevent damage. What it does:

• Monitors temperature at a specific location inside the microwave
• Interrupts power if overheating is detected to protect components
• Helps safeguard the magnetron and wiring from thermal damage
• Presents as: shuts off mid-cycle, won't restart until cooled, no power, or runs but doesn't heat

• 1 thermostat

• Disconnect power before service; microwaves contain a high-voltage capacitor that can hold a dangerous charge—discharge it properly
• Note wire locations and transfer connections one at a time to the new thermostat
• Mount in the original location with firm, flush contact to the surface for accurate sensing
• Reinstall all covers and safety shields before restoring power and testing

A replacement magnetron assembly that generates the microwave energy used for cooking and reheating. Installs in countertop and over-the-range microwave ovens to restore normal heating performance when the magnetron fails. What it does:

• Produces high-frequency microwave energy that heats food inside the oven cavity.
• Commonly replaces a unit when the microwave stops heating or heats very weakly.
• Can address symptoms like no/poor heating, intermittent heating, or loud humming from the oven during operation.
• Not a control or capacitor—this part is the microwave-generating tube and works with the oven's HV system.

• Always disconnect power and unplug the appliance before starting service.
• The high-voltage capacitor can retain a dangerous charge; discharge properly.
• Handle the magnetron carefully; avoid touching terminals or the antenna.
• Follow OEM instructions and safety guidelines for reassembly and testing.

This thermostat switch is a temperature-sensitive safety device used in select appliances to open or close an electrical circuit at a set temperature. Replacing a failed switch helps restore proper temperature control and protects components from overheating.

• Monitors temperature and changes state (open/closed) at its calibration point
• Helps prevent overheating or incorrect temperature regulation
• Common failure signs: no heat/overheating, intermittent cycling, or unit shutting off prematurely
• May be mounted to a bracket or surface near the heated area, depending on the model

• Disconnect power before servicing; verify no voltage is present
• Note wire positions and orientation of the original switch before removal
• Transfer any mounting hardware from the old part if not reusable
• After installation, test operation and observe initial heating cycle for proper function

This high-voltage rectifier diode is used in the microwave's high-voltage circuit. It converts AC to DC so the magnetron can produce heat. A failed diode can cause no heat, loud humming, or a blown fuse when starting. What it does:

• Rectifies high-voltage AC to DC to power the magnetron
• Blocks reverse voltage in the HV circuit
• Common failure symptoms can include: runs but doesn't heat; loud hum then shutdown; line fuse blows at startup

• 1 high-voltage diode

• Unplug the microwave and properly discharge the high-voltage capacitor before servicing—dangerous voltage can remain even when unplugged
• Match diode orientation/polarity to the original and ensure a solid chassis ground connection where used
