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.

• Rattling or vibration noises emanating during operation

This OEM LG replacement ensures balanced airflow and consistent cooling for years of use. It is also compatible with some Kenmore and Sears/Kenmore microwaves.

The Magnetron is an OEM part for LG microwaves. It is responsible for generating the microwaves that cook or heat the food inside the appliance. The magnetron converts electrical energy into microwave radiation, ensuring efficient and even heating.

Causes of a bad magnetron can include prolonged use, electrical surges, or overheating. Over time, these factors can lead to the magnetron wearing out or failing completely.

Symptoms of a bad Magnetron include:

• The microwave not heating food
• Strange noises during operation
• Burning smell or smoke
• The microwave shutting off unexpectedly

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