Kenmore / Sears Microwave Damper & Related

The Damper Bracket is an OEM component for LG microwaves. Located inside the microwave cavity above the wave stirrer, this bracket holds the position of the damper assembly that helps distribute heat evenly during cooking. The bracket measures approximately 12” by 5”.

Symptoms of a bad damper bracket can include:  

• Hot or cold spots developing within the microwave cavity
• Looseness in the damper assembly fit
• Reduced heat circulation leading to uneven cooking

Causes typically consist of cracking over long-term heat exposure. Repeated opening/closing of the damper may also weaken attachment points on the bracket.

This OEM LG part is also compatible with Sears/Kenmore microwaves. 

The Air Damper is an OEM part for Whirlpool microwave/range hood combos. It is a crucial component that regulates the flow of air into the microwave cavity, helping to maintain proper temperature and airflow during operation.

Symptoms of a faulty Air Damper include:

• Overheating or uneven heating of food items
• Excessive noise or rattling sounds during operation
• Error codes related to temperature or airflow issues

Causes of a bad Air Damper can include wear and tear over time, physical damage or obstruction, or issues with the damper's motor or control system.

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

The Damper is an OEM component for LG microwaves. Located within the cooking cavity, it regulates airflow and safely vents steam escaping heated foods. 

Causes of a faulty damper can involve standard wear and exposure accepting steam and condensation release. Food or liquid particles drying within tracks also threaten eventual adhesion issues restricting travel if left unaddressed between cleanings.

Symptoms of a damaged or defective damper include:

• Inability to adequately vent excess moisture from heating  
• Potential messes spilling beyond the microwave frame  
• Grating sounds or squeaks emitting during cooking
• Flaps possibly stuck inhibiting steam circulation 

This damper is also compatible with Kenmore microwaves as well.

The Hood Damper Assembly is an OEM part for GE microwave ovens. This part controls the flow of exhaust air to minimize odors and smoke from cooking. This damper opens to allow air to vent outside during microwave operation and closes to prevent outside air from entering when the microwave is not in use.

Causes of a bad hood damper assembly can include mechanical failure such as a stuck or broken damper, deterioration of the linkage or springs that operate the damper, and blockage caused by grease or debris accumulation, which can impair its functionality.

Symptoms of a bad Hood Damper Assembly include:

• Ineffective venting of smoke or cooking odors
• External air leakage into the microwave system
• Unusual noises during operation indicating a damper misalignment or obstruction

This OEM GE part is also compatible with Hotpoint, RCA, and some Kenmore models.

This air deflector redirects airflow inside the appliance to help channel heated or cooled air where it's needed for proper operation. It's a simple replacement that restores intended air pathing and performance. What it does:

• Directs internal airflow to improve circulation and temperature consistency
• Prevents air from blowing directly on sensitive components
• Helps reduce uneven cooking/cooling symptoms and localized hot or cold spots
• Can eliminate abnormal airflow noise caused by misdirected vents

• One air deflector

• Disconnect power (and gas if applicable) before servicing
• Access may require removing exterior or interior panels; keep track of screws and fasteners
• Replace with the correct orientation so air passages align with vents

This duct cover is the external housing panel that protects and routes dryer vent airflow, helping maintain proper venting and preventing debris from entering the duct area. Fits as a direct replacement for damaged or missing vent housing covers. What it does:

• Covers and protects the dryer vent opening and internal duct connection
• Helps direct exhaust airflow from the appliance to the exhaust duct
• Prevents lint, dust, and small debris from entering the vent cavity
• Restores a secure, finished vent connection when the original cover is cracked or broken

• One duct cover

• Disconnect power (and gas, if applicable) and unplug the appliance before starting
• Access may require removing the rear panel or moving the appliance
• Handle edges carefully; use gloves to avoid cuts and ensure a snug fit to prevent air leaks
• If seal or mounting hardware is damaged, replace with correct fasteners or gaskets for a proper fit
