The drawing capacitor is an OEM component for LG countertop microwaves. It is an integrated electric part that stores and releases power allowing the main control board to communicate smoothly with high-load cooking components like the magnetron tube and turntable motor.

Symptoms of a bad drawing capacitor include: 

• Microwave failing to power on or start cooking presets  
• Components like the turntable or magnetron not engaging
• Unusual crackling or burning smells from internal circuits
• Control panel displaying error codes for capacitive malfunctions

Causes can be normal component fatigue or manufacturing defects after extended use.

This OEM LG part can also be used on Kenmore/Sears appliances. 

The Time Delay Fuse is an OEM part for LG microwaves. This fuse provides a safety mechanism by delaying the flow of electricity, protecting the microwave's electrical components from power surges and ensuring the appliance operates safely. It helps to prevent immediate damage in the event of a power surge or electrical fault, thus prolonging the lifespan of the microwave.

Over time, the time delay fuse can become damaged due to electrical surges, wear and tear, or faulty connections. If the fuse blows, it can disrupt the microwave’s ability to function correctly.

Symptoms of a bad time delay fuse include:

• The microwave not turning on
• No response from the microwave control panel
• The microwave stopping unexpectedly during operation
• Electrical issues or blown circuits in the microwave

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

This duct cover is the external housing panel that protects and routes dryer vent airflow, helping maintain proper venting and preventing debris from entering the duct area. Fits as a direct replacement for damaged or missing vent housing covers. What it does:

• Covers and protects the dryer vent opening and internal duct connection
• Helps direct exhaust airflow from the appliance to the exhaust duct
• Prevents lint, dust, and small debris from entering the vent cavity
• Restores a secure, finished vent connection when the original cover is cracked or broken

• One duct cover

• Disconnect power (and gas, if applicable) and unplug the appliance before starting
• Access may require removing the rear panel or moving the appliance
• Handle edges carefully; use gloves to avoid cuts and ensure a snug fit to prevent air leaks
• If seal or mounting hardware is damaged, replace with correct fasteners or gaskets for a proper fit

This heater sheath is the metal housing that surrounds and protects the dryer's electric heating element, helping direct heated air into the drum for normal drying. Replaces a damaged or corroded sheath to restore safe, efficient heating. What it does

• Holds and shields the heating element assembly to prevent contact with other components
• Directs airflow around the heating element so the dryer can produce warm air
• Helps maintain proper element alignment and electrical insulation
• Common symptom: dryer runs but produces little or no heat
• Common symptom: visible damage, rust, or burn marks on the element housing

• One heater sheath (heating element housing) as shown

• Disconnect power (unplug or switch off breaker) before servicing to avoid electric shock
• Handle the heating element and terminals carefully; sharp edges may be present
• Inspect element, thermal fuse, and wiring while the cabinet is open; replace only confirmed faulty parts

This Fan Blade is an OEM part for LG microwaves. It is a critical component designed to circulate air within the microwave, aiding in heat dissipation and ensuring even cooking. 

Fan blades in microwaves can suffer from wear, imbalance, or damage due to regular use or accumulation of debris. A malfunctioning fan blade can lead to inadequate ventilation, affecting the microwave's cooking efficiency and potentially causing overheating.

Symptoms of a bad fan blade include:

• Unusual noises during operation, such as rattling or buzzing, indicate a loose or damaged blade.
• The microwave overheating or shutting off prematurely.
• Inconsistent cooking or hot spots in food suggest poor air circulation.
• The fan not starting, or stopping unexpectedly during use.
• Visible signs of damage or wear on the blade.

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

Thermistor is a temperature-sensing replacement that monitors refrigerator and freezer temperatures so the control board can regulate cooling. Replacing a faulty thermistor restores accurate temperature readings and helps stabilize cooling performance. What it does:

• Senses interior/evaporator temperature and sends a signal to the control board for temperature regulation.
• Helps prevent erratic cooling, long run-times, or inconsistent compartment temperatures when operating correctly.
• Faulty thermistors can contribute to excessive frost, failed defrost cycles, or compressor cycling issues.
• Use when the existing sensor fails to report correct temperatures or the part number matches.

• Always disconnect power to the appliance before servicing to avoid shock or damage.
• The sensor is typically mounted on or near the evaporator or inside a cabinet wall; access may require removing panels or covers.
• Handle the sensor and wiring harness gently; avoid pulling on wires or bending the sensor element.

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.

The Diode is an OEM replacement part for LG countertop microwave models. Located internally on circuit boards regulating magnetron function, it precisely controls the electric current flow.

Causes of a bad diode involve thermal fatigue over time putting repetitive stress on sensitive semiconductor junctions. Microwave demands may accelerate failures.

Symptoms include:

• Intermittent cooking or complete failure to energize the tube
• Error codes appearing on the control panel display
• Buzzing or humming noises emitting from internal circuitry

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