This thermal cut-off installs in the bottom location and protects the appliance by interrupting power when excessive heat is detected. It helps prevent overheating-related damage to internal components.

• Monitors temperature at the bottom of the unit and opens the circuit if an over-temperature condition occurs
• Common symptoms include no power, shutting off during use, or not starting after an overheating event
• The TCO tests open (no continuity), it must be replaced

• Disconnect power before servicing; microwaves contain a high-voltage capacitor that must be safely discharged
• Note wire positions and mounting orientation; transfer any reusable bracket/insulator and make secure, insulated connections
• After reassembly, ensure airflow and vents are unobstructed to prevent repeat overheating

This thermostat is a temperature-sensitive switch used in select appliances to regulate heat or provide over-temperature protection. Replacing a failed thermostat restores consistent temperature control and helps protect internal components from heat-related damage.

• Monitors temperature at its mounting point and opens/closes the circuit at a factory-set threshold
• Regulates heating cycles or functions as a high-limit safety cutoff (application-dependent)
• Failure open can cause no heat or premature shutdown
• Failure stuck closed can lead to overheating, erratic temperatures, or extended run times

• Disconnect power and allow the appliance to cool before servicing
• Note wire locations; transfer one lead at a time to the new thermostat
• Mount flush and secure to the mating surface/bracket for accurate sensing; ensure firm terminal connections
• After installation, run and observe an initial cycle to confirm normal operation

This humidity sensor assembly monitors moisture inside the microwave cavity during Sensor Cook and Reheat cycles, allowing the control to automatically adjust time and power. Replacing a failed sensor can restore accurate, reliable sensor-based cooking performance. What it does:

• Detects steam/humidity in the cavity for auto-sensing cook and reheat programs
• Sends feedback to the control board to adjust power levels and cook time
• Failure symptoms include sensor cook not starting, stopping early, "sensor" error messages, or inconsistent results on auto settings

• One humidity sensor assembly

• Unplug the appliance before service; microwaves contain a high-voltage capacitor that can retain a dangerous charge
• Handle the sensor face carefully and keep it clean; route and secure the wire harness as originally

This electrical safety fuse opens the circuit when a short or overcurrent occurs. Replacing a blown fuse can help restore power after the root cause is corrected, protecting controls and wiring from further damage.

• Protects the appliance by interrupting power during overcurrent or short-circuit events
• When open/blown, the appliance may be completely unresponsive
• Helps prevent damage to control boards and wiring during faults
• Often fails after a component shorts or a power surge occurs

• Disconnect power to the appliance before servicing
• Use a multimeter to test the fuse for continuity; replace only if open
• Install a fuse with the exact same rating and form factor as the original
• If the new fuse blows again, stop and diagnose the underlying fault; consider service for high-voltage systems

This 250V 15A safety fuse protects the appliance's line circuit from overcurrent. When the original fuse has blown, replacing it can restore power and help safeguard internal components from further damage.

• Opens the circuit if excessive current or a short occurs, protecting internal parts
• Common symptom: unit completely dead—no display, lights, or response to controls
• Blown fuse will test open (no continuity) with a multimeter
• If a new fuse blows again, another component may be shorted and needs diagnosis

• Unplug the appliance before servicing; microwaves can retain a dangerous charge—discharge the high-voltage capacitor
• Access the fuse near the line filter/control area; note clip orientation
• Replace only with the same 250V 15A rating; never bypass or upsize the fuse
• If the replacement fuse blows immediately, stop and troubleshoot the root cause

This gas sensor monitors moisture levels during sensor-cook cycles so the control can adjust time and power for consistent results. Replacing a failed sensor restores reliable sensor-cook performance. What it does:

• Detects steam/vapor inside the cavity and sends feedback to the control board
• Helps the appliance automatically set or adjust cooking time on sensor settings
• Failure symptoms can include sensor-cook not starting, stopping early, or running too long
• May trigger "Sensor" or general error messages related to sensor-cook functions

• Disconnect power before servicing; if working on a microwave, discharge the high-voltage capacitor
• Access is typically behind the control panel or air channel; avoid touching/contaminating the sensing surface
• Transfer any mounting clips/brackets and ensure the wiring connector is fully seated
• After installation, run a simple sensor-cook test to confirm operation

This microwave thermostat is a temperature-sensitive safety switch that helps protect the unit from overheating. When the preset limit is reached, it interrupts power to the affected circuit to help prevent damage and erratic shutdowns.

• Monitors temperature at its mounting location and opens the circuit if overheating is detected
• Helps protect internal components from excessive heat
• Common symptoms of a failed thermostat include: unit shuts off during cooking, won't start until it cools down, or has no power/no heat due to an open safety
• Replace if the original tests open when it should be closed

• Disconnect power by unplugging the unit or switching off the circuit breaker before servicing
• Microwaves contain a high-voltage capacitor that can retain a dangerous charge; only qualified persons should service and discharge the capacitor
• Note wire locations before removal and transfer connections firmly to the new thermostat
• Mount the thermostat securely and in the same position to ensure proper temperature sensing

Ceramic

This fixed thermostat protects the appliance by opening the circuit when excessive heat is detected. Replacing a failed or weak thermostat restores reliable over-temperature protection and helps prevent heat-related shutdowns.

• Opens the circuit if the protected area overheats to help prevent damage to components
• Helps with symptoms like unexpected shutdowns during operation or no power after overheating
• Can be the cause when the unit only runs again after cooling down
• Helps maintain safe operating temperatures around heat-sensitive parts

• Disconnect power before servicing; some appliances contain high-voltage components
• Access location varies by model; note wire positions before removal and transfer one lead at a time
• Reuse existing mounting hardware; ensure firm terminal connections and correct orientation
• After replacement, confirm proper airflow/venting and normal operation
