Parts for Kitchenaid KMBT5511KSS0: Interior And Ventilation Parts

This fan wheel is the rotating plastic wheel that moves air through the appliance's exhaust and heat systems, helping maintain proper airflow and cooling. Replacing a worn wheel restores airflow and reduces noise from the blower assembly. What it does:

• Spins in the blower housing to draw and direct air through the unit
• Helps maintain proper airflow for heating, drying or venting cycles
• Worn, cracked or broken wheels can cause rattling, grinding, reduced airflow or overheating
• Restores smooth, balanced operation when installed correctly

• Disconnect power to the appliance before servicing.
• Access may require removing the access panel, blower housing or front panel depending on model—follow your model-specific service instructions.
• Inspect the blower housing and shaft for damage or debris before installing; replace if necessary.

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

The Turntable Motor is an OEM component specifically designed for Whirlpool microwaves. It is responsible for powering the rotation of the microwave turntable. 

A properly functioning turntable motor ensures food is evenly and consistently cooked during microwave cycling. Uniform heating is critical for moist, tender results without burning or cold spots. 

Causes of a bad turntable motor can include overuse over time, damage that impedes motor function, or failure of electronic components that control motor operation.

Symptoms of a bad turntable motor include:

• The turntable no longer rotates or spins erratically 
• Uneven or incomplete cooking even at full power
• Burned or cold spots found on food after microwaving

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