Parts for Whirlpool IBMS1450VM0: 05 - Oven Interior Parts

This line fuse protects the appliance's incoming power circuit by opening if an overload or short occurs. Replacing a blown fuse can help restore power once the underlying issue is corrected, preventing further damage to sensitive components.

• Interrupts line voltage when excessive current or a short circuit is detected
• Typical symptoms: unit completely dead, no display or interior lights, won't start or run
• Fuse tests open/no continuity with a multimeter when blown
• A blown fuse often points to another fault that must be addressed

• Disconnect power at the breaker/unplug before servicing; microwaves contain high-voltage parts that can retain a dangerous charge even when unplugged
• Replace only with the same type and rating as the original fuse
• Ensure the fuse seats firmly in its holders; do not bypass or jumper a fuse

This magnetron is the microwave's high-voltage tube that generates the microwaves used to heat food. Replacing a faulty magnetron restores heating performance and stops power-related cooking failures. What it does:

• Converts high-voltage electrical energy into microwave radiation that heats food
• Common symptom: microwave runs but does not heat
• Also be needed if you notice humming, arcing, or a burning electrical smell during operation
• Works with the oven's high-voltage system and waveguide to deliver cooking power

• Disconnect power before servicing; microwave high-voltage components can retain lethal charge
• Discharge the high-voltage capacitor and follow safety procedures
• Inspect waveguide cover and surrounding components for damage when replacing the magnetron

This thermostat retainer secures the refrigerator thermostat or temperature sensor in place to ensure accurate temperature sensing and stable operation. It replaces a worn or broken mounting clip to restore proper sensor positioning. What it does:
