Parts for Maytag YMMV6190FZ1: Interior And Ventilation Parts

The Light Bulb is an OEM part for Whirlpool microwaves. It provides illumination within the microwave cavity, enhancing visibility so you can monitor your cooking without opening the door. This feature is essential for convenience and to ensure proper cooking, as it helps to prevent heat loss and maintain the microwave’s energy efficiency.

Symptoms of a bad Light Bulb include:

• The microwave interior remaining dark despite the appliance being in use.
• Flickering or inconsistent lighting when the microwave is operating.
• The bulb not turning on, indicating it may be burnt out or there is a connection issue.

Causes of a bad light bulb can include filament wear out due to prolonged use, damage from moisture or grease exposure inside the microwave, or electrical surges that can shorten the bulb's lifespan.

This OEM part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models, ensuring it fits a wide range of microwave models.

The Filter is an OEM part for Whirlpool microwaves. This part filters grease and other particles from the air as it is vented out of the microwave, particularly when the microwave is used in conjunction with a range. This helps to maintain a clean kitchen environment and prevents grease buildup on the microwave’s internal components.

Causes of a bad filter can include accumulation of grease and food particles over time, exposure to high heat, or general wear and tear.  

Symptoms of a bad filter include:

• Reduced ventilation efficiency
• Excessive smoke or steam lingering in the kitchen
• Grease buildup on kitchen surfaces near the microwave
• Unusual odors during microwave operation

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

This replacement lower cabinet base restores the appliance's bottom support and underside protection to help maintain stability and keep internal components shielded from debris. Fits the factory location under the appliance cabinet. What it does

• Provides structural support for the appliance's lower section to reduce wobble and sag.
• Protects motors, wiring and other components from dirt, moisture and impact at the underside.
• Helps stop or reduce unusual rattling or scraping caused by a damaged or missing base.
• Restores proper clearance and mounting for kickplates and toe panels.

• Disconnect power and, if applicable, gas and water before starting any work.
• Use two people to support the appliance when accessing or replacing the base.
• Keep all factory fasteners; re-use or replace with equivalent OEM screws as required.

The Reflector is an OEM part for Whirlpool microwaves. It is located inside the microwave cavity behind the waveguide and works to redirect electromagnetic waves for more even cooking.  

Symptoms of a damaged reflector include:

• Inconsistent or incomplete heating of foods during cooking
• Hot and cold spots forming within the microwave cavity
• Lower overall power output from the microwave

Causes of reflector damage can be cracking or pitting of the reflective aluminum surface over multiple heating cycles. Impact incidents from user error may also damage its shape.

This OEM Whirlpool replacement assists in delivering uniform energy distribution for optimal microwave performance. This part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, and Roper microwave models.

This Whirlpool Microwave Interlock Switch is an OEM part compatible with certain Whirlpool microwave models. As a crucial safety component, this interlock switch ensures the microwave only operates when the door is securely closed, preventing accidental exposure to microwave radiation. 

Interlock switches in microwaves can fail due to repeated use, mechanical wear, or misalignment. A malfunctioning interlock switch can lead to the microwave refusing to start, operating with the door open, or intermittent operation, all of which pose significant safety concerns.

Symptoms of a defective microwave interlock switch include:

• The microwave does not start or heats intermittently.
• The microwave starts operating when the door is open.
• Unusual noises when closing or opening the microwave door.
• The microwave stops suddenly during operation.
• The display or controls are unresponsive despite the door being closed.

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

The Interlock Switch is an OEM part for Whirlpool microwaves. As a safety mechanism, it prevents inadvertent microwave radiation by cutting power without the door closed securely. 

Causes of a bad interlock switch involve insulation breakage from everyday wear, as well as impacts disturbing contact alignment. Over time and use, sensitivity diminishes.

Symptoms include:

• Inability to start cooking cycles without manually securing the door  
• Fault codes or error messages relating to door detection issues
• Microwave leakage if cycles can be triggered while the door is open

This OEM Whirlpool part is also compatible with some Maytag, KitchenAid, and Kenmore models.

This evaporator fan motor circulates cold air through the freezer and refrigerator compartments to maintain even temperatures and consistent cooling. Replaces a failed or noisy motor to help restore airflow and temperature stability. What it does:

• Spins the evaporator fan blade to move cold air across the evaporator and into the cabinet.
• Helps prevent warm spots and uneven cooling when operating correctly.
• Commonly replaced for noisy operation, failure to run, or intermittent airflow.
• Compatible with refrigerators that use this OEM-style fan motor design.

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting any repair.
• Access typically requires removing interior panels or the evaporator cover; keep screws and fasteners organized.
• Inspect the fan blade and housing for ice buildup or obstructions before installing the new motor.

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 thermistor is a fridge temperature sensor that monitors internal air temperature so the control board can regulate cooling. Replacing a faulty thermistor restores accurate temperature readings and more consistent refrigerator performance. What it does:

• Detects interior temperature and sends readings to the control board
• Helps the compressor and fans cycle correctly to maintain set temperatures
• Common symptom: erratic or incorrect temperature inside the refrigerator
• Common symptom: refrigerator runs constantly or cooling is inconsistent
• Common symptom: temperature-related error codes or temperature alarm messages

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting any repair
• Handle the sensor and wiring harness carefully to avoid damage
• Route and secure the wiring as original; ensure connectors are fully seated

This fan wheel spins inside the appliance to move air through the system, restoring proper airflow for heating and cooling. It replaces a cracked, worn, or unbalanced wheel to reduce noise and improve performance. What it does:
