Parts for Goldstar MV1604SW01: Interior Parts (Ii_Ii) 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 microwave thermostat is the safety control that monitors temperature and opens the circuit if overheating is detected, protecting internal components. Replace it if your oven is dead, loses heat, or shuts off mid-cycle due to a failed thermostat. What it does:

• Monitors temperature and interrupts power when overheating occurs to help prevent damage
• Helps protect internal components and wiring from excessive heat
• Failure can cause: no power, shuts off during or shortly after starting, or runs but does not heat
• Replacing a failed thermostat helps restore normal operation and safety protections

• 1 thermostat

• Unplug the appliance; microwaves contain high-voltage components that can retain a lethal charge even when unplugged
• Remove the outer cover to access the thermostat; location varies by model
• Move wires one at a time to the new thermostat and mount it firmly against the mating surface for proper heat sensing
• Reassemble, restore power, and test operation

This fan assembly moves air through the unit to cool internal components and maintain proper ventilation. Replacing a worn or seized fan restores correct airflow, helps prevent overheating, and reduces excessive noise from a failing motor or wheel.

• Circulates cooling air across internal components to prevent overheating
• Exhausts air through the vent/duct path for proper ventilation
• Common symptoms: fan not running, weak airflow, or loud rattling/squealing
• Unit may overheat or shut off during use when the fan fails

• Disconnect power before service; microwaves contain a high-voltage capacitor that can retain a dangerous charge—follow proper safety procedures.
• Remove access panels to reach the fan housing; note airflow direction and wire orientation.
• Transfer any brackets, grommets, or screws from the original assembly if required.
• After installation, verify the wheel spins freely and airflow direction is correct before reassembly.

The Charcoal Filter is an OEM replacement part for LG microwaves. The charcoal filter works to remove undesirable cooking odors, steam, and grease vapors from the air circulated inside the microwave. It traps airborne particles and deodorizes airflow using an advanced charcoal formulation.

Causes of a bad charcoal filter can include normal saturation over 6-12 months of regular use. Prolonged high-heat cooking and grilling can also cause premature clogging.

Symptoms of a bad filter include:

• strong lingering cooking smells that linger in the microwave interior and escape into the kitchen.
• Food may take on secondary odors from previous heating sessions.

This OEM LG part is also compatible with some Kenmore model microwaves.
