Lg Microwave Fuse Or Sensor

The Magnetron Thermostat is an OEM part for LG microwaves and built-in ranges. Its primary function is to monitor the temperature and ensure that it remains within a safe operating range. If the temperature exceeds the preset limit, the thermostat will interrupt the power supply to the magnetron, preventing overheating and potential damage.

Causes of a faulty magnetron thermostat can include electrical malfunctions, component failures, or physical damage. These factors can result in issues such as erratic heating, microwave not heating properly, or the appliance shutting off unexpectedly.

Symptoms of a bad magnetron thermostat may include:

• Microwave not heating food evenly or at all
• Inconsistent or weak heating performance
• Microwave shutting off or displaying error codes related to temperature issues

This OEM LG part can also be used on Kenmore/Sears appliances. 

The Time Delay Fuse is an OEM part for LG microwaves. This fuse provides a safety mechanism by delaying the flow of electricity, protecting the microwave's electrical components from power surges and ensuring the appliance operates safely. It helps to prevent immediate damage in the event of a power surge or electrical fault, thus prolonging the lifespan of the microwave.

Over time, the time delay fuse can become damaged due to electrical surges, wear and tear, or faulty connections. If the fuse blows, it can disrupt the microwave’s ability to function correctly.

Symptoms of a bad time delay fuse include:

• The microwave not turning on
• No response from the microwave control panel
• The microwave stopping unexpectedly during operation
• Electrical issues or blown circuits in the microwave

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

This microwave thermostat is the safety control that monitors temperature and opens the circuit if overheating is detected, protecting internal components. Replace it if your oven is dead, loses heat, or shuts off mid-cycle due to a failed thermostat. What it does:

• Monitors temperature and interrupts power when overheating occurs to help prevent damage
• Helps protect internal components and wiring from excessive heat
• Failure can cause: no power, shuts off during or shortly after starting, or runs but does not heat
• Replacing a failed thermostat helps restore normal operation and safety protections

• 1 thermostat

• Unplug the appliance; microwaves contain high-voltage components that can retain a lethal charge even when unplugged
• Remove the outer cover to access the thermostat; location varies by model
• Move wires one at a time to the new thermostat and mount it firmly against the mating surface for proper heat sensing
• Reassemble, restore power, and test operation

This thermostat controls refrigerator temperature to help maintain proper cooling and prevent spoilage. It replaces a failed or inaccurate temperature control to restore consistent operation. What it does:

• Senses internal temperature and signals the compressor to cycle on/off
• Helps keep food at steady, safe temperatures when functioning correctly
• Commonly replaces thermostats that cause warm temperatures or inconsistent cooling
• Works as a direct replacement when matching the OEM part number

• Always disconnect power to the appliance before servicing to avoid shock or injury
• Handle the sensor and terminals carefully; avoid bending or damaging components
• Basic hand tools are typically required; follow your model's service manual for exact instructions

This temperature control thermostat senses and regulates refrigerator temperature to keep food cold and appliances running efficiently. It replaces a worn or faulty controller to restore proper cooling cycles and temperature stability. What it does:

• Senses cabinet temperature and tells the compressor/evaporator fan when to run
• Restores normal cooling if a failed thermostat causes warm temperatures
• Stops continuous running or short-cycling when the thermostat was the issue
• Helps prevent food spoilage by maintaining consistent temperatures

• Disconnect power before servicing to avoid shock or injury
• Handle terminals and sensing elements carefully; avoid kinking or damaging capillary tubing
• Access may require removing interior panels or control housing—refer to your service manual
