Parts for Whirlpool MT8066SEQ0: 05 - Magnetron And Air Flow Parts

This replacement screw secures appliance panels, trim, or components so assemblies stay properly fastened during normal use. It's a small but essential fastener for routine repairs and reassembly. What it does:

• Holds panels, brackets, or trim pieces in place to restore proper fit and alignment
• Stops parts from vibrating loose, reducing rattling or misalignment
• Commonly used where a short machine screw is required for appliance interiors
• Works with original mounting points designed for threaded fasteners

• Turn off and unplug the appliance before starting any repair
• Use the correct driver and avoid over-tightening to prevent stripping
• Keep track of removed screws and correct location before reassembly
• If threads are damaged, replace the mating hardware

This helical spring lock washer secures machine screws and bolts in your appliance, maintaining clamping force under vibration and thermal cycling. Use it to keep fasteners tight and assemblies stable for reliable operation.

• Provides spring tension to resist loosening from vibration and movement
• Helps maintain secure mounting and alignment of brackets, motors, and panels
• Common symptoms of a missing or fatigued washer: screws backing out, rattling/vibration noises, or a loose fit after tightening

• Unplug the appliance; shut off water supply if applicable
• Install between the fastener head (or nut) and the mating surface
• Use a matching screw size; replace any stripped or corroded hardware
• Tighten snugly without over-tightening

This is a thermal safety fuse that opens the circuit if temperatures rise beyond a safe limit, protecting the appliance from overheating and preventing further damage. Replacing a failed fuse restores power to the affected circuit once the underlying cause is addressed.

• Monitors temperature in a protected circuit and cuts power if unsafe heat is detected
• Helps prevent overheating-related damage
• Typical failure signs: no power/no operation, cycle won't start, shuts off mid-cycle after overheating event
• Must not be bypassed; replace if open and investigate the root cause of overheating

• Unplug appliance or disconnect power before service
• Verify the fuse is open with a multimeter; replace only after correcting any airflow/overheating issues
• Install in the same orientation and location as the original to ensure proper temperature sensing
• Handle wiring carefully; transfer connectors one at a time to avoid miswiring
