• Supports and protects the light socket and bulb
• Mounts the light assembly to the interior panel or liner
• Helps shield nearby wiring from heat and vibration
• Common symptoms include a cracked/melted housing, loose bulb or socket, or intermittent/no interior light with a known-good bulb

• Disconnect power before servicing to avoid electrical shock
• Remove the lens/cover and bulb to access the housing
• Note wiring and orientation; transfer the socket and wiring from the old housing if applicable
• Secure the new housing without overtightening; test light operation before reassembling covers

The Thermal Fuse is an OEM component specifically designed for Whirlpool ovens. As an important safety device, it is located near heat-producing elements inside the oven cavity. 

Causes of a bad thermal fuse include overheating of elements or surrounding components over time, which can eventually blow the fuse. 

Symptoms of a faulty thermal fuse include:

• The oven failing to heat or operate heating cycles fully
• Heating elements abruptly shutting off during baking  
• An unusual burning smell emanating from the oven

This genuine OEM Whirlpool part is compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore oven models as well.

This interlock is the door safety switch assembly that keeps the appliance from running with the door open, restoring proper door sensing so the unit only operates when the door is fully closed. What it does

• Acts as the door safety switch to interrupt power or start signal when the door is open.
• Prevents the appliance from starting or running if the door won't latch or the switch fails.
• Common symptom: appliance does not start or stops immediately when the door is closed or opened.
• Useful when replacing a worn or damaged door latch/switch that causes intermittent operation.

• Disconnect power (unplug or switch off at the breaker) before servicing to avoid shock or injury.
• Access typically requires removing the appliance's front or control panel; keep track of fasteners and wire locations.
• Handle electrical connectors carefully; inspect wiring and connectors for damage before reconnecting.
• Test the switch with a multimeter.

This lamp cover is the replacement lens that protects and diffuses your oven's interior light, restoring even illumination while keeping the bulb shielded from heat and food residue. It helps maintain safe, usable oven lighting. What it does:

• Protects the oven light bulb from splashes, crumbs and direct contact.
• Diffuses the bulb for more even interior illumination.
• Replaces a cracked, cloudy, melted or missing lens that can cause dim or exposed lighting.
• Fits over the lamp housing to restore the oven's normal light appearance and function.

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting and allow the oven to cool completely.
• Handle the cover carefully—wear gloves to protect from sharp edges or broken glass.
• Remove any retaining screws or clips, swap the old cover for the new one, then secure the retainer.
• After installation, restore power and replace the bulb if issues persist.

This refrigerator water filter cartridge replaces the installed filter to help restore clear, better-tasting water and improve ice quality. It's a direct-fit replacement designed for compatible Whirlpool refrigeration systems. What it does:

• Filters water to reduce common impurities that can affect taste and clarity
• Helps improve the quality of ice produced by the refrigerator
• Can resolve symptoms like cloudy water, off-taste, or reduced water flow from the dispenser
• Restores proper filtration performance when the original filter is expired or clogged

• Follow the refrigerator manufacturer's instructions for removal and installation.
• Run and discard the recommended amount of water after installation to flush the system before use.
• Turn off the water supply and disconnect power if required by your model before servicing.
• Inspect the new filter for damage; do not use a damaged filter.

This magnetron is the microwave's high-voltage tube that generates the microwaves used to heat food. Replacing a faulty magnetron restores heating performance and stops power-related cooking failures. What it does:

• Converts high-voltage electrical energy into microwave radiation that heats food
• Common symptom: microwave runs but does not heat
• Also be needed if you notice humming, arcing, or a burning electrical smell during operation
• Works with the oven's high-voltage system and waveguide to deliver cooking power

• Disconnect power before servicing; microwave high-voltage components can retain lethal charge
• Discharge the high-voltage capacitor and follow safety procedures
• Inspect waveguide cover and surrounding components for damage when replacing the magnetron

This high-limit thermostat is a safety temperature limiter that stops heating when temperatures climb too high, protecting the appliance and preventing overheating. Use it to restore proper temperature cutoff and improve safe operation. What it does

• Acts as a temperature safety cutoff to interrupt power when temps exceed safe limits
• Prevents continuous heating and reduces fire/overheat risk
• Can cause loss of heat, no heating cycles, or oven/range failing to reach temperature when faulty
• Restores the appliance's built-in over-temperature protection when replaced

• Disconnect power to the appliance before servicing to avoid shock or injury
• Located behind panels or at the heating assembly; access may require removing exterior panels
• Verify electrical continuity with a multimeter before installation

This piston assembly restores the moving piston used in the appliance's fluid/valve system to help recover proper dispensing and motion. It replaces a worn or damaged piston so the affected function can operate as intended. What it does:

• Replaces the piston that moves inside a valve or dispenser to control fluid or airflow
• Restores proper actuation and sealing that can prevent drips or improper dispensing
• Commonly installed when symptoms include poor dispensing, leaks near the valve area, sticking motion, or unusual noises during operation
• Works as a direct-fit replacement where this OEM piston assembly is specified

• One piston assembly as shown

• Disconnect power (and water supply or gas, if applicable) before starting any repair
• Follow the appliance service manual and use appropriate tools; keep small fasteners and seals organized
• Inspect sealing surfaces and O-rings; replace damaged seals to ensure a leak-free install
• Test the appliance after installation to confirm correct operation

The Fan Motor is an OEM part compatible with Whirlpool microwave ovens. It is a crucial component responsible for circulating air and ventilating the interior of the microwave during operation. The fan motor ensures proper air flow, which helps regulate temperature and prevent overheating.

Symptoms of a bad Fan Motor include:

• Inadequate ventilation or poor air circulation within the microwave
• Overheating issues or unusual odors during use
• Excessive noise or rattling sounds coming from the fan area
• Complete failure of the fan to operate or turn on

Causes of a bad fan motor can range from bearing failure due to wear and tear over time, to physical damage from impact or debris buildup. Electrical issues, such as voltage fluctuations or component failures, can also contribute to the malfunction of the fan motor.

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