Parts for Lg LMV1680WW: Interior Fig 1 Parts

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 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 Magnetron is an OEM part for LG microwaves. As the primary cooking mechanism, it generates microwave energy to heat and cook foods quickly.

Causes can be from normal wear and tear over years of use. Damage may also occur if the microwave interior is exposed to moisture, spills or debris.

Symptoms of a faulty magnetron include:

• Slow or ineffective cooking
• Hot or cold spots in cooked foods
• Buzzing or humming noises emanating from inside the microwave

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

The Turntable Coupler is an OEM part for LG microwaves. This coupler connects the motor to the turntable, enabling the rotation of the glass tray during the cooking process. 

Causes of a bad turntable coupler can include wear and tear from regular use, cracks or breaks due to the weight of heavy dishes, or damage from accidental impact. 

Symptoms of a bad turntable coupler include:

• The glass tray not rotating during operation
• Uneven heating or cooking of food
• Unusual noises from the turntable area
• Visible damage or wear on the coupler

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

The LG microwave glass tray is an OEM replacement part for LG countertop microwaves. Located inside the microwave cavity, the glass tray provides a flat, durable surface for cooking and heating food items. The tray measures about 13 inches in diameter.

Causes of a bad glass tray can include cracks or chips from impact damage, prolonged exposure to high heat levels, or chemical etching from acidic food spills.

Symptoms of a bad glass tray microwave include:

• Cracks, chips, or breaks in the glass compromising structural integrity
• Difficulty removing or placing the tray due to a poor sliding fit  
• Food particles or liquids seeping below the tray and needing cleaning
• Visibility issues looking inside the microwave cavity  

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

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.

The Diode Assembly is an OEM replacement part for LG microwaves. As an electrical part, it plays a key role in regulating power distribution throughout the microwave. 

Symptoms of a bad diode assembly can include:

• Lights or displays failing to illuminate  
• Inability to power the microwave or select cooking functions
• Intermittent or unexpected shutting off during use
• Sparking, burning smells or tripped circuit breakers

Causes may arise from repetitively fluctuating power loads degrading individual diodes over time. Moisture intrusion into electrical pathways can also cause issues.

This genuine LG OEM assembly is also compatible with some Kenmore microwave models as well. 

Color: brown. Measures about 10 inches in diameter.

A high-voltage capacitor for the appliance's high-voltage circuit that stores and releases electrical energy to support proper heating operation. Replacing a failing capacitor can restore consistent heating and prevent related electrical faults. What it does:

• Stores and delivers high-voltage energy used by the magnetron/ high-voltage assembly to generate heat.
• Failure may cause no-heat or weak-heat conditions in the oven.
• Faulty capacitors can contribute to arcing, loud humming, or blown high-voltage fuses.
• Works as part of the HV circuit; not a user-serviceable low-voltage control.

• High-voltage components can hold a dangerous charge—disconnect power and discharge the capacitor before servicing.
• Use insulated tools and avoid touching terminals; verify proper operation with appropriate test equipment.
