This supporter motor is the mounting support assembly that holds and stabilizes the appliance motor, helping maintain proper alignment and reduce vibration for reliable operation. It restores secure motor positioning after wear or damage. What it does

• Supports and secures the motor housing to prevent movement during operation
• Reduces excessive vibration and noise caused by a loose or worn motor mount
• Helps keep the motor aligned so the drivetrain and drum/tumbler run smoothly
• Used when visual damage or cracking is present on the motor support

• Disconnect power (and gas if applicable) before beginning any repair
• Access may require removing the appliance rear or front panel and supporting the motor/drum while swapping the part
• Verify mounting orientation and fastener locations match removed part; retain any grommets or isolators if present
• If wiring is attached, note connector positions before disconnecting.

This lamp cover is the clear interior lens that protects and diffuses the appliance light, restoring even illumination and shielding the bulb from spills and debris. It's a direct-fit replacement designed to match the original lens shape. What it does:

• Protects the interior light bulb from food, grease, and impact
• Diffuses and directs light for even interior illumination
• Replaces cracked, discolored, or missing lamp lenses
• Helps prevent direct contact with the bulb for safer operation

• One lamp cover (lens) as shown

• Disconnect power before servicing to avoid electrical shock
• Handle the lens carefully—it may be glass or brittle plastic and can break if dropped
• Remove mounting screws or clips that secure the old lens, lift out, and install the replacement in the same orientation
• Test the light after reassembly; do not operate if mounting is damaged or the lens is not secured

This thermostat is a temperature-sensitive safety switch used in LG microwaves. It monitors internal temperature and opens the circuit when overheating is detected to help protect components from heat damage.

• Monitors temperature at its mounting location inside the microwave
• Opens on overtemperature to interrupt power for safety
• Depending on model/location, a failed or open thermostat can cause no heat, the unit shutting off mid-cycle, or no power until it cools
• Helps prevent damage to the magnetron, cavity, and wiring due to overheating

• Unplug the microwave before service; the high-voltage capacitor can retain a dangerous charge
• Note wire positions, remove mounting screws, and install the new thermostat flat against the surface for proper heat sensing
• Reassemble and test; ensure vents and filters are clear to maintain proper airflow and prevent future overheating

This box-style film capacitor helps stabilize and filter voltage in the appliance's control/power circuitry, protecting electronics from spikes and electrical noise for more reliable operation. What it does

• Smooths and filters voltage to reduce electrical noise and transient spikes.
• Helps ensure stable operation of control boards and motor drives.
• A failing capacitor can cause intermittent operation, control errors, or failure to start.
• Commonly used where low-loss, stable capacitance is required for power or signal circuits.

• Disconnect power to the appliance before servicing.
• Discharge the capacitor fully before touching terminals to avoid shock.
• Inspect mounting and wiring; replace with identical type and polarity/orientation if required.

The Mounting Plate is an OEM part for LG microwaves. This part is designed to mount and stabilize the microwave over the range, ensuring it is safely anchored in its designated space. The mounting plate serves as an interface between the microwave and the wall or cabinet, distributing the weight evenly and providing a firm foundation for the appliance.

Causes of a bad Mounting Plate can stem from improper installation, which may lead to undue stress and eventual warping or weakening of the material.

Symptoms of a bad Mounting Plate include:

• Loose microwave unit
• Difficulty in aligning or installing the microwave 
• Visible signs of wear, rust, or damage on the plate

This OEM LG part can also be used on Kenmore/Sears appliances.

The Installation Hardware Kit is an OEM part for LG microwaves. It includes all the necessary mounting brackets, screws, and other hardware components required for a proper and secure installation of the microwave. This kit ensures a safe and stable fitment, whether the microwave is being installed over the range, built into cabinetry, or mounted on the wall.

Causes of needing a new installation hardware kit can include missing or damaged components from the original kit, or requirements for a different installation type or location.

Symptoms indicating the need for a new kit include:

• Unstable or loose microwave installation
• Difficulty in properly aligning or securing the microwave
• Missing brackets or hardware pieces

This OEM LG part is also compatible with some Kenmore models.

The Damper Bracket is an OEM component for LG microwaves. Located inside the microwave cavity above the wave stirrer, this bracket holds the position of the damper assembly that helps distribute heat evenly during cooking. The bracket measures approximately 12” by 5”.

Symptoms of a bad damper bracket can include:  

• Hot or cold spots developing within the microwave cavity
• Looseness in the damper assembly fit
• Reduced heat circulation leading to uneven cooking

Causes typically consist of cracking over long-term heat exposure. Repeated opening/closing of the damper may also weaken attachment points on the bracket.

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

The Damper is an OEM component for LG microwaves. Located within the cooking cavity, it regulates airflow and safely vents steam escaping heated foods. 

Causes of a faulty damper can involve standard wear and exposure accepting steam and condensation release. Food or liquid particles drying within tracks also threaten eventual adhesion issues restricting travel if left unaddressed between cleanings.

Symptoms of a damaged or defective damper include:

• Inability to adequately vent excess moisture from heating  
• Potential messes spilling beyond the microwave frame  
• Grating sounds or squeaks emitting during cooking
• Flaps possibly stuck inhibiting steam circulation 

This damper is also compatible with Kenmore microwaves as well.
