Parts for Maytag MMV1175JW01: Interior And Ventilation Parts

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 capacitor stores and releases electrical energy to help an AC motor start and run smoothly. Replacing a weak or failed capacitor can restore reliable motor operation and reduce humming, no-start, or stall conditions.

• Provides the phase shift and starting torque an induction motor needs to start
• Helps the motor reach and maintain proper speed under load
• Common symptoms of a failing capacitor: motor hums but won't start, intermittent starts, slow or stalled rotation, or frequent thermal trips
• Visible clues may include a swollen case or leaking residue

• Disconnect power to the appliance before servicing; verify no voltage is present
• Capacitors can retain a charge—discharge safely before handling
• Note wire positions; move leads to the new capacitor one at a time and ensure snug terminal fit
• Reuse the original bracket/clip if applicable and secure the capacitor to prevent vibration

The Interlock Switch is an OEM part for Whirlpool microwaves. It monitors the position of the microwave door and signals to the control board whether it is safe to operate. 

Causes of a bad interlock switch can include normal wear over time as the switch contacts open and close frequently with door usage. Lubricant breakdown or damage to wires/connectors may also cause failures.

Symptoms of a faulty interlock switch include:

• The microwave running with the door open 
• Failure to start the microwave regardless of door position
• Inoperative door or faulty door latching 

Replacing with this genuine OEM switch restores an essential safety feature. With accurate door monitoring, microwave energy transmission only occurs when intended.

This OEM Whirlpool part can also be used on Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore/Sears brand appliances.
 

Replacement plate that restores fit and finish for compatible Whirlpool appliances. Install to replace a cracked, warped, or cosmetically damaged plate and help maintain proper component alignment and appearance. What it does:

• Replaces a damaged or worn plate to restore the appliance's original coverage and appearance.
• Helps prevent gaps where food, grease, or debris can collect around the affected area.
• Maintains proper alignment and support for adjacent parts that rely on the plate for mounting or spacing.

• Disconnect power to the appliance before beginning any repair.
• Use basic hand tools and follow the OEM diagram for correct orientation and fastener locations.
• Inspect mounting hardware and any gaskets; replace separately if worn or damaged.

This replacement light bulb restores clear, reliable illumination so you can see inside your appliance during use. It's a quick fix when the original lamp has burned out, gone dim, or started to flicker. What it does:

• Provides light in the appliance's designated lamp location
• Restores visibility for monitoring food and settings
• Common fix for no light, dim light, or intermittent/flickering light
• Helps address broken or blackened/burned-out bulbs

• 1 light bulb

• Disconnect power before servicing and allow the area/bulb to cool completely
• Remove any lens or cover as designed for your model; retain screws/clips
• Handle the bulb with clean, dry hands or gloves and do not overtighten
• Check the switch, socket, and wiring on the unit

This Whirlpool Microwave Interlock Switch is an OEM part specifically compatible with various Whirlpool microwave models. This safety component ensures that the microwave operates only when the door is securely shut, thereby preventing accidental exposure to microwave energy. 

The failure of microwave interlock switches is often due to mechanical wear, electrical faults, or alignment issues. A defective interlock switch can result in the microwave not starting, running with the door open, or displaying erratic behavior, all of which are serious safety concerns.

Symptoms of a failing microwave interlock switch include:

• The microwave does not start or operate intermittently.
• The appliance runs while the door is open.
• Sudden stopping of the microwave during operation.
• Unusual sounds when the microwave door is opened or closed.
• The control panel is unresponsive or behaves irregularly with the door closed.

This genuine Whirlpool OEM replacement part is compatible with Maytag, Jenn-Air, and Kenmore models.
