Kenmore / Sears Microwave Bracket & Flange

This latch board is the replacement control board that operates the appliance door latch, restoring secure door locking and normal cycle starts. It provides the electrical connection for the latch mechanism so the unit can detect and hold the door closed. What it does

• Switches power to the door latch so the door locks during cycles
• Helps the appliance sense when the door is securely closed
• Common symptom fix: door won't latch or appliance won't start a cycle
• Works as the electronic interface between the latch actuator and main control

• High-level replacement only — disconnect power before servicing
• Handle the board by edges; avoid contact with components to prevent ESD damage
• Verify wiring harness connectors are fully seated during reassembly

This control bracket mounts behind the range/oven console to secure the electronic control and user interface, keeping controls stable and aligned for reliable operation. What it does:

• Provides a stable mounting point for the console control assembly
• Helps prevent control panel flexing or vibration-related faults
• Keeps control board and user interface properly positioned for connections
• Can resolve intermittent control issues caused by loose or damaged mounting

• Turn off power to the appliance at the breaker before starting work.
• Handle the control and wiring gently; disconnect connectors only by releasing tabs.
• Use existing screws or OEM-specified fasteners; do not overtighten to avoid cracking the console.
