This humidity sensor assembly monitors moisture inside the microwave cavity during Sensor Cook and Reheat cycles, allowing the control to automatically adjust time and power. Replacing a failed sensor can restore accurate, reliable sensor-based cooking performance. What it does:

• Detects steam/humidity in the cavity for auto-sensing cook and reheat programs
• Sends feedback to the control board to adjust power levels and cook time
• Failure symptoms include sensor cook not starting, stopping early, "sensor" error messages, or inconsistent results on auto settings

• One humidity sensor assembly

• Unplug the appliance before service; microwaves contain a high-voltage capacitor that can retain a dangerous charge
• Handle the sensor face carefully and keep it clean; route and secure the wire harness as originally

This temperature-sensing safety switch monitors heat inside the microwave and opens or closes its circuit at a set point. Replacing a failed thermostat helps protect the unit from overheating and restores proper fan or heating control. What it does:

• Monitors surface temperature where it is mounted (cavity, duct, or component)
• Opens/closes its electrical circuit at a specific threshold to prevent overheating
• Can interrupt power to heating components or signal the exhaust fan, depending on design
• Symptoms can include: unit shuts off until it cools, runs but won't heat, exhaust fan won't auto-cycle or runs constantly

• Unplug the microwave; if over-the-range, remove it safely from the cabinet
• Discharge the high-voltage capacitor before servicing
• Note wire positions and transfer one lead at a time; ensure tight connections
• Mount firmly and flush to the original location/bracket for proper thermal contact
