The 40W Light Bulb is an OEM replacement part for Whirlpool microwave ovens. It is a standard-size bulb designed to provide illumination inside the microwave cavity, allowing you to easily view and monitor the cooking or reheating process.

Symptoms of a faulty microwave light bulb include:

• Dimming or flickering light during operation
• Complete bulb failure or no illumination within the cavity
• Discoloration or physical damage to the bulb itself

Causes of a bad microwave light bulb can include normal wear and tear over time, electrical surges or voltage fluctuations, or physical impact or vibration during use.

This OEM Whirlpool part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore microwave oven models.

The Charcoal Filter is an OEM part for Whirlpool microwaves. This filter is designed to remove cooking odors and smoke from the air circulated through the microwave's venting system. It is especially important in over-the-range microwaves that recirculate air rather than venting it outside. The filter measures about 12 inches wide by 6 inches deep. This is a 2 Pack.

Causes of a bad charcoal filter can include saturation from grease and odors over time, blockage from accumulated debris, or deterioration of the filter material. Regular replacement is necessary to maintain effective air filtration and proper microwave performance.

Symptoms of a bad Charcoal Filter include:

• Persistent cooking odors lingering in the kitchen
• Reduced ventilation efficiency
• Smoke not being properly filtered during cooking
• Noticeable decrease in the microwave's air circulation

This OEM part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models.

The Grease Filter is an OEM part for Whirlpool range hoods. This component is crucial for capturing grease particles and preventing them from accumulating in the ventilation system, ensuring proper airflow and maintaining kitchen cleanliness. The grease filter measures approximately 14 inches by 6 inches

Over time, grease filters can become saturated with grease and debris, reducing their effectiveness and potentially causing ventilation issues.

Symptoms of a bad grease filter include:

• Decreased airflow through the range hood
• Visible grease buildup on the filter
• Unpleasant odors lingering in the kitchen
• The filter appearing worn or damaged

This OEM part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models.

Replacement interlock spring that provides tension for the appliance door latch so the door closes and the interlock switch can engage for normal operation. Restores reliable door engagement and latch return in compatible Whirlpool appliances. What it does:

• Provides tension to the door latch/interlock assembly so the door stays securely closed during use.
• Ensures the latch returns to the closed position and allows the interlock switch to complete the appliance's safety circuit.
• Helps resolve symptoms such as a loose or non-returning latch, door that won't stay closed, or cycles that stop because the door won't engage.
• Works as a direct replacement for the listed interlock spring in compatible Whirlpool assemblies.

• Disconnect power to the appliance before servicing to avoid electric shock or injury.
• Basic hand tools are typically required; panels or the door may need partial disassembly—refer to the model's service guide.
• Inspect the latch, striker, and interlock switch for wear or damage and replace if needed; improper installation can prevent correct engagement.

Replace a worn or misaligned interlock with this microwave door interlock assembly. It aligns and supports the door switches so the control accurately senses a fully closed door, restoring safe, reliable operation.

• Interfaces with the door latch hooks to actuate the safety door switches
• Ensures the microwave only runs when the door is fully closed
• Useful when the original interlock is cracked, loose, or out of alignment

• Disconnect power before service; microwaves can retain dangerous high voltage even when unplugged
• Access is typically behind the control panel; over-the-range units may need to be taken down for service
• Mount securely and verify the door latch hooks smoothly actuate the switches
• After reassembly, test door closure and start/stop operation before regular use

The Diode is an OEM part for Whirlpool microwaves. The diode plays a key role in regulating power flow and protecting other sensitive components from voltage fluctuations.

Causes of a bad microwave diode can include component failure due to age or heat exposure over time. Diodes are also susceptible to electrical damage if exposed to power surges.

Symptoms of a bad diode can include:

• The microwave failing to power on or having intermittent power
• Food not heating up properly or unevenly
• Strange sounds like buzzing or humming emanating from inside
• The door lock mechanism not engaging or release properly
• Repeated tripping of fuses or circuit breakers

This genuine OEM Whirlpool part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models.

This magnetron capacitor is the microwave high-voltage capacitor that helps supply the magnetron with the pulse of energy needed to produce heat. Replacing a failing capacitor restores normal heating performance and reduces arcing or loud humming. What it does

• Stores and releases the high-voltage pulse required by the magnetron so the microwave can generate heat.
• Prevents unstable magnetron operation that can cause weak or no heating.
• Common symptoms of a failing capacitor: oven runs but doesn't heat, intermittent heating, loud buzzing/humming, or visible arcing inside the cavity.
• A failed capacitor can also cause blown internal fuses or tripped circuits.

• One capacitor.

• Disconnect power and verify the appliance is completely de-energized before servicing.
• Capacitors can hold dangerous charge; discharge the capacitor safely with an insulated tool.
• Use the exact replacement part and follow the appliance service manual for routing and connections.

This is a thermal safety fuse that opens the circuit if temperatures rise beyond a safe limit, protecting the appliance from overheating and preventing further damage. Replacing a failed fuse restores power to the affected circuit once the underlying cause is addressed.

• Monitors temperature in a protected circuit and cuts power if unsafe heat is detected
• Helps prevent overheating-related damage
• Typical failure signs: no power/no operation, cycle won't start, shuts off mid-cycle after overheating event
• Must not be bypassed; replace if open and investigate the root cause of overheating

• Unplug appliance or disconnect power before service
• Verify the fuse is open with a multimeter; replace only after correcting any airflow/overheating issues
• Install in the same orientation and location as the original to ensure proper temperature sensing
• Handle wiring carefully; transfer connectors one at a time to avoid miswiring

This is a genuine replacement screw used to fasten appliance panels, trim, and components. It restores secure attachment and helps eliminate rattles or loose parts for safe, reliable operation. What it does:

• Secures panels, brackets, trim pieces, or internal components
• Stops vibration-related noise caused by loose or missing fasteners
• Restores proper alignment and fit of assembled parts
• Provides the correct thread and length for the intended factory location

• One screw

• Use the correct screwdriver or bit to avoid stripping the head
• Hand-start the screw to ensure correct thread engagement before final tightening
• Tighten until snug; avoid over-tightening which can strip threads or crack plastic
• Disconnect power to the appliance before working in areas near electrical components
