• Restores correct electrical characteristics when the original capacitor has degraded

• Always disconnect the appliance from power before accessing electrical components
• Discharge the capacitor before handling to avoid shock; use insulated tools and follow safety procedures
• Note and reconnect wiring exactly as found; take a photo before removal if needed

This microwave magnetron is the RF power tube that creates the microwaves that heat food. Replace it to restore normal heating when the oven runs but food stays cold or warms inconsistently.

• Generates microwave energy from the high-voltage system to cook food
• Common fix for: runs but doesn't heat
• Can help resolve loud humming/buzzing from the high-voltage section

• Unplug the appliance; the high-voltage capacitor can retain a dangerous charge—discharge it properly before service
• Install in the same orientation; tighten mounting screws evenly and reconnect leads securely; avoid touching the ceramic antenna—handle by the frame
• After reassembly, test with a microwave-safe water load; never operate the oven empty

This line fuse protects the appliance's incoming power circuit by opening if an overload or short occurs. Replacing a blown fuse can help restore power once the underlying issue is corrected, preventing further damage to sensitive components.

• Interrupts line voltage when excessive current or a short circuit is detected
• Typical symptoms: unit completely dead, no display or interior lights, won't start or run
• Fuse tests open/no continuity with a multimeter when blown
• A blown fuse often points to another fault that must be addressed

• Disconnect power at the breaker/unplug before servicing; microwaves contain high-voltage parts that can retain a dangerous charge even when unplugged
• Replace only with the same type and rating as the original fuse
• Ensure the fuse seats firmly in its holders; do not bypass or jumper a fuse

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 Is A Blower Motor !!!! For Turntable Motor Use W10642989!!!!

This fixed thermostat protects the appliance by opening the circuit when excessive heat is detected. Replacing a failed or weak thermostat restores reliable over-temperature protection and helps prevent heat-related shutdowns.

• Opens the circuit if the protected area overheats to help prevent damage to components
• Helps with symptoms like unexpected shutdowns during operation or no power after overheating
• Can be the cause when the unit only runs again after cooling down
• Helps maintain safe operating temperatures around heat-sensitive parts

• Disconnect power before servicing; some appliances contain high-voltage components
• Access location varies by model; note wire positions before removal and transfer one lead at a time
• Reuse existing mounting hardware; ensure firm terminal connections and correct orientation
• After replacement, confirm proper airflow/venting and normal operation

Replacement transformer that supplies the appliance's low-voltage control power so control boards and components can operate reliably. Use this transformer when the original fails to provide stable power to controls or relays. What it does:
