The TEMPLATE is an OEM part for LG microwaves. It is the outer casing and control panel covering that defines the microwave's design and aesthetics.  

The causes of a bad template can include cracks, dents, or damage to the outer surface from impacts or normal wear over time. Heat and humidity fluctuations can also cause template materials to degrade.

Symptoms of a bad template include:

• Cracks or breaks in the template material
• Loose, misaligned, or damaged control panel or display  
• Yellowing, warping, or discoloration of plastics
• Openings or gaps that compromise the microwave structure

This genuine OEM LG replacement part restores the microwave's appearance and protects internal components. It is also compatible with some Kenmore and Sears microwaves
 

This mounting plate is a metal bracket used to secure the microwave chassis/components in the correct position. A worn or damaged plate can cause poor fitment, vibration, or noise during operation.

• Provides a stable mounting surface for the designated microwave assembly
• Helps reduce vibration and rattling noises
• Restores proper alignment if the original plate is bent or broken
• Commonly replaced when the original plate is damaged or missing

• Unplug the appliance and discharge the high-voltage capacitor before servicing a microwave
• Use proper personal protective equipment; metal edges can be sharp
• Note orientation and fastener locations before removal
• Tighten mounting hardware evenly to avoid distortion

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.

A sheet-metal tapping screw used to fasten appliance panels and components where a self-threading fastener is needed. Replaces stripped or missing screws to restore secure fits and reduce rattling or loose trim. What it does

• Threads into thin metal or plastic mounting points to secure panels, brackets, and trim
• Commonly used where pre-formed threads are not available
• Helps stop vibrating or loose panels that cause noise or alignment issues
• Designed to grab and form threads as it's driven in for a tight hold

• Tapping screw

• Use the correct screwdriver bit to avoid cam-out or head damage
• Start straight and drive slowly until snug; avoid over-tightening which can strip or crack mounting material
• Disconnect power and remove nearby wiring or components as needed for safe access
• Wear eye protection when working with small fasteners and metal panels

This factory fastener secures appliance panels and components. Use it to replace a missing, stripped, or corroded screw so brackets, covers, and assemblies stay tight and properly aligned, helping reduce vibration and rattling.

• Secures panels, brackets, and internal components in their proper positions
• Replaces missing, worn, or cross-threaded hardware
• Helps eliminate vibration and rattling from loose parts
• Supports proper alignment of covers and assemblies

• Disconnect power to the appliance before servicing; allow any moving parts to stop
• Match this screw to the location shown in your model's parts diagram
• Start threads by hand to avoid cross-threading, then tighten snugly with the correct driver
• Do not overtighten to prevent stripping threads or cracking plastic bosses
