A Tap-Tite binding-head screw used to fasten appliance panels and components where a self-tapping metal thread is required. Replaces missing or damaged fasteners to restore secure assembly and reduce vibration or rattling. What it does:

• Creates its own mating thread in thin sheet metal for a secure hold without a nut.
• Holds panels, brackets, and trim in place to prevent looseness or movement.
• Commonly used where stripped, missing, or broken screws cause rattling, misalignment, or parts that won't stay attached.
• Compatible with standard screwdrivers or nut drivers sized to the binding-head.

• Disconnect power and unplug the appliance before working on it.
• Use the correct driver bit to avoid cam-out or head damage.
• Start straight and apply steady pressure; avoid overtightening to prevent stripping the formed threads.
• If the original hole is badly damaged, assess for repair or use of a larger fastener as needed.

This is a replacement screw used to secure appliance components and panels. It restores proper fastening where a stripped, missing, or damaged screw causes loose parts or rattling. What it does:

• Helps stop vibration-related noise from loose assemblies
• Replaces missing or corroded screws that prevent proper closures
• Restores secure mounting after repairs or disassembly

• Use the correct screwdriver or bit to avoid stripping the head
• Tighten until snug—do not over-torque to prevent thread damage

The Microwave Turntable Motor is an OEM replacement part for LG over-the-range microwaves. This motor is responsible for powering the turntable inside the microwave cavity, ensuring even heating and cooking of food items.  

Symptoms of a bad motor include: 

• The turntable not spinning or turning intermittently
• Loud buzzing or grinding noises coming from the microwave interior
• The turntable spinning but not evenly or at the proper speed
• Smoke or burning smells coming from the microwave

Causes of a bad motor can include normal wear and tear over extended use, residue or debris buildup interfering with operation, or failure of internal motor components.

This is a glass or plastic lens cover that sits over the interior light bulb inside the microwave. It protects the light bulb from grease, food splatter, and heat while allowing light to illuminate the cooking cavity. Replace this lens if it is cracked, cloudy, discolored, or missing, which can leave the bulb exposed to damage and reduce interior visibility.

This grille covers the oven's ventilation opening, allowing hot air and steam to escape safely, usually located on the front or top of the range. Replace it when the grille becomes damaged, warped from heat, or when ventilation appears blocked or restricted.

Replace your microwave's interior or underside light bulb when dim or burned out. Restores visibility for monitoring food. Confirm fit with your model.

This is a resin waveguide cover that sits inside the microwave cavity and shields the magnetron opening from food splatter and moisture. It allows microwave energy to pass through while protecting internal components. Replace this cover if it is cracked, burned, warped, or if you notice arcing or sparking during operation.

The Door Latch Housing and Interlock Switch Assembly is an OEM replacement part for LG microwaves. It consists of the protective door latch housing casing along with the two-door switches and interlock switch.

The interlock switch prevents microwave energy from being generated inside the oven when the door is open. It shuts off all power once a faulty seal is detected between the door and cavity.

Symptoms of issues can include:

• Microwave failing to turn on or cook with the door open
• Sparking or arcing seen near the door seal or frame
• Error codes displayed related to interlock detection faults

Compatible models include some GE, Kenmore, and Samsung units using matching door designs sourced from LG.

Fix a microwave that won't start or runs with the door open. This door interlock switch ensures safe operation by detecting when the door is fully closed.

This is a micro switch that detects whether the microwave door is properly closed and latched. It is part of the safety interlock system that prevents the microwave from operating with the door open. Replace this switch if the microwave does not start when the door is shut, runs with the door open, blows a fuse when the door closes, or stops mid-cycle intermittently.

Microwave won't heat? A failing high-voltage capacitor disrupts the heating circuit. This part stores electrical energy for consistent operation.

The Time Delay Fuse is an OEM part for LG microwaves. This fuse provides a safety mechanism by delaying the flow of electricity, protecting the microwave's electrical components from power surges and ensuring the appliance operates safely. It helps to prevent immediate damage in the event of a power surge or electrical fault, thus prolonging the lifespan of the microwave.

Over time, the time delay fuse can become damaged due to electrical surges, wear and tear, or faulty connections. If the fuse blows, it can disrupt the microwave’s ability to function correctly.

Symptoms of a bad time delay fuse include:

• The microwave not turning on
• No response from the microwave control panel
• The microwave stopping unexpectedly during operation
• Electrical issues or blown circuits in the microwave

This OEM LG part is also compatible with Sears/Kenmore models.
