Parts for Bosch HMV8052U/01: Magnetron Parts

The Lock is an OEM part for Bosch microwaves. This part ensures the microwave door closes securely. This lock mechanism plays a vital role in microwave safety, preventing the appliance from operating if the door is not properly closed. 

Causes of a bad Microwave Door Lock can range from normal wear and tear, which gradually degrades the lock's integrity, to accidental damage or misalignment from rough handling. 

Symptoms of a malfunctioning Microwave Door Lock include:

• The microwave refusing to start or stopping unexpectedly, indicating the door isn't securely latched.
• A loose feeling or visible damage to the door lock, suggesting it cannot engage properly.
• Warning signals or error messages displayed by the microwave, pointing to a door closure issue.

This genuine OEM Bosch part is also compatible with Thermador, Gaggenau and select Kenmore models.

This replacement screw secures appliance panels and components at their mounting points. Swap in a new screw to restore a tight, rattle-free fit when the original fastener is missing, stripped, or corroded.

• Fastens the designated panel, bracket, or component in place
• Replaces a missing, stripped, or rusted screw
• Helps address loose panels, gaps, rattling, or misalignment at the mounting point
• Maintains proper assembly integrity after service or vibration

• Disconnect power; shut off water supply if working near plumbing

• Worn or broken levers can cause the door not to latch, not start, or show door-closed errors
• Cause difficulty opening/closing or a loose handle feel when faulty

• Disconnect power and shut off water before servicing
• Access is typically from the inner door panel; retain original screws and clips
• Note the lever's orientation and linkage points before removal
• Test door operation and cycle start after reassembly

The Switch is an OEM part for Bosch microwaves. It plays a role in the safety and functionality of the microwave, acting as a security mechanism that prevents the microwave from operating when the door is open. This ensures that microwave radiation is contained and only in use when the door is securely closed, protecting users from accidental exposure.

Causes of a malfunctioning door switch can range from physical damage, such as cracks or wear from repeated use, to electrical issues like short circuits or disconnections.  

Symptoms of a bad Microwave Door Switch include:

• The microwave fails to start or stops unexpectedly.
• The interior light fails to turn on or off appropriately.
• Unusual sounds when the door is opened or closed.
• The microwave operates only when the door is in a certain position or not at all.

This OEM Bosch part is also compatible with Thermador, Gaggenau, and some Kenmore models.

The Microwave Switch is an OEM part for Bosch microwaves. It functions as a safety device that ensures the microwave operates only when the door is securely closed.

You should replace this microwave switch if it becomes faulty due to wear and tear, or if it's damaged from electrical issues or physical impact. A malfunctioning switch can prevent the microwave from starting, cause it to stop unexpectedly, or lead to safety hazards by allowing the microwave to run with the door open.

Symptoms of a bad microwave switch include:

• Microwave not starting
• Intermittent operation or shutting off unexpectedly
• Microwave running with the door open
• Error codes related to door or safety switches

This temperature regulator is the thermostat control that helps maintain the correct interior temperature by cycling the cooling system on and off. It replaces a failed regulator to restore steady temperature control and reduce temperature swings. What it does:

• Senses and regulates appliance temperature to keep the compartment within set range
• Cycles the compressor or cooling components to maintain consistent cooling
• Commonly used when interior temperature is too warm, fluctuating, or compressor runs continuously
• Works with the appliance's control system to trigger cooling actions as needed

• Disconnect power before servicing to avoid shock or damage
• Handle the sensor and terminals carefully; avoid bending or stressing the connector
• Verify correct orientation and secure mounting; confirm electrical connector is fully seated

The Magnetron is an OEM part for Bosch microwave ovens. It functions as the crucial high-frequency power unit responsible for efficiently generating microwave energy to cook and heat food. Working alongside the control board and tray turntable motor, it allows for fast, safe, and even cooking.

Symptoms of a failing magnetron include:

• Extended or incomplete cook times even on high-power settings 
• Abnormal noises emitting from within the unit during operation  
• Tripped internal circuit breakers and error code displays

Causes of failure relate to degrading electronic components after lengthy microwaving use. Exposure to moisture or contaminants may also accelerate wear. 

This OEM Bosch part is also compatible with Thermador, Gaggenau, and some Kenmore models. 

This is a genuine replacement screw used to secure components on compatible Bosch appliances, restoring proper fit and function where original fasteners have become lost or damaged. What it does:

• Fastens appliance panels, brackets, or internal components to maintain structural stability
• Replaces stripped, corroded, or missing screws to stop rattling or loose parts
• Helps ensure secure electrical and mechanical connections by holding parts in correct position
• Used where the OEM screw size and thread match the factory application

• One replacement screw as shown

• Verify screw size and thread match the original before installation
• Use appropriate driver bit and moderate torque to avoid stripping threads
• Disconnect power and follow manufacturer safety instructions before accessing internal components

This genuine screw secures panels, brackets, and other components in your appliance. Replacing a missing, rusted, or stripped fastener restores a snug fit, reduces vibration, and helps keep assemblies properly aligned during daily use.
