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
 

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 Microwave Mounting Hardware Kit is an OEM part for LG microwaves. This kit contains all of the necessary hardware to properly mount and install an LG microwave. It ensures that the microwave is securely fastened to the cabinet or installed above the range.

Causes of faulty mounting hardware include lack of proper installation, missing or lost pieces over time, or damage.

Symptoms of missing or damaged mounting hardware include:

• Microwave not sitting securely on the mounting plate or surface
• Movement or wobbling of the microwave during operation
• Risk of the microwave falling if not properly secured

This 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.
