The Thermostat is an OEM part for Whirlpool microwaves. It is a temperature-sensitive component that monitors heat levels inside the oven cavity during operation.
Causes may include damage from exposure to moisture or debris over time that disrupts accurate readings.
Symptoms of a faulty thermostat include:
- Incomplete or inconsistent heating with uneven hot/cold spots
- Food not reaching expected doneness after preset times
- Overheating errors or cycle interruptions
This OEM Whirlpool part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper and some Kenmore models.
