Parts for Lg LMV1831ST: Door Parts

This is the inner door frame assembly for a microwave oven. It provides the structural support for the door's window, trim, handle, and latch so the door aligns and closes properly and the interlock switches engage.

• Forms the inner structure of the microwave door and supports the window/screen, trim, and latch components
• Helps maintain alignment so the door closes and latches securely
• Replace if cracked, warped, or if mounting tabs are broken
• Typical symptoms include a door that won't close or stay shut, "door" error messages, the unit not starting unless the door is pressed, or a loose/rattling door panel

• Disconnect power before servicing; if over-the-range, support or remove the microwave before working on the door
• Use gloves/eye protection and watch for sharp edges
• Photograph door stack-up; transfer existing glass, handle, choke/trim, hinges, and screws to the new frame
• After reassembly, ensure the door closes squarely and that interlock switches engage before restoring power

Inner plastic door film covers the holes in the inner door frame.

The Choke Cover is an OEM part for LG microwaves. This is a protective shield that covers the microwave’s internal components, preventing interference and ensuring the safe operation of the microwave.  

Causes of a bad choke cover can include physical damage from accidental impacts, deterioration due to prolonged use, or exposure to high temperatures.

Symptoms of a bad choke cover include:

• Unusual noises during microwave operation
• Visible cracks or damage to the cover
• Microwave not heating food properly
• Sparks or arcing inside the microwave

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

The Locker is an OEM replacement part for LG microwaves. It is a metal hook located on the side of the microwave door that securely fastens the gasket and seals when closed. The door hook ensures a tight compressive fit of the door gasket all around the perimeter of the door opening. 

Symptoms of a bad door hook include:

• Gaps appearing around the door seal allowing steam or heat to escape  
• The door not sitting flush and securely closed
• Risk of accidental opening during a cooking cycle
• Reduced heating efficiency 

Causes tend to be normal wear over time, like dulling or bending of the thin metal hook. Impact or over-tightening could potentially damage or deform the hook.

This part is also compatible with Sears/Kenmore microwaves.
