Kenmore Microwave 721.62002200 (72162002200, 721 62002200) Parts

The Microwave Door Switch is an OEM replacement part for LG countertop microwaves. It monitors the door position electrically to prevent unsafe oven operation if ajar. 

Symptoms of a bad door switch include:

• Inability to start or pause a cooking cycle unless securely latched  
• Error messages about the door being open
• Inconsistent detection of open/closed door positions
• Unreliable contact functioning after extended use

Causes involve normal wear of electrical contacts and internals through many open/close uses. Exposure to moisture intrusion from spills may potentially damage sensitive switch circuitry over time as well.

This genuine LG replacement switch is also compatible with Sears/Kenmore microwaves.

This canopy resistor regulates current to a range-hood or canopy fan circuit to help the blower run at the correct speeds. Replacing a failing resistor can restore proper fan speed control and stop intermittent operation. What it does:

• Controls electrical resistance in the canopy/blower circuit to help regulate fan speeds.
• Helps prevent the motor from running only on a single speed or from failing to start at selected speeds.
• Can cause symptoms such as inconsistent fan speeds, no response from speed controls, or occasional fan cutoff.
• Works with the hood's wiring and control switch to deliver the correct voltage to the fan motor.

• Disconnect power to the appliance before accessing the canopy or electrical connections.
• Inspect wiring and connectors for heat damage or corrosion; replace harness or terminals if damaged.

This is a truss-head tapping screw used to secure trim, panels, and small assemblies on compatible LG appliances. It provides a low-profile, wide-bearing head that helps hold parts flush and resist pull-through. What it does:

• Fastens plastic and sheet-metal components where a self-tapping thread is needed
• Truss head spreads load to prevent damage to soft or thin materials
• Helps secure control panels, brackets, or trim pieces that require a low-profile head
• Common replacement when original mounting screws are missing, stripped, or corroded

• One truss-head tapping screw

• Use the correct screwdriver bit and moderate torque to avoid stripping the screw or workpiece
• Start threading straight and let the screw form threads without forcing at an angle
• Disconnect power and follow appliance-specific service safety procedures before working internally
• Replace any damaged mating threads or clips for a secure fit

This replacement oven light bulb restores clear visibility inside the oven cavity. It brings back bright, reliable illumination so you can check doneness at a glance—using the door switch or light button—without opening the door or losing heat.

• Lights the oven cavity when the door opens or when the light button is pressed
• Helps you monitor cooking progress without interrupting cooking
• Typical symptoms: no light, intermittent flickering, dim light, or a blackened/broken bulb
• A failed bulb is the most common cause

• Disconnect power or switch off the circuit breaker; allow the oven to cool completely
• Remove the lens/cover per your model; unscrew or unclip the bulb from the socket
• Handle the new bulb by the base; avoid touching the glass on capsule/halogen styles
• Do not exceed the bulb type/wattage specified for your model; tighten gently and test operation

A Tap-Tite binding-head screw used to fasten appliance panels and components where a self-tapping metal thread is required. Replaces missing or damaged fasteners to restore secure assembly and reduce vibration or rattling. What it does:

• Creates its own mating thread in thin sheet metal for a secure hold without a nut.
• Holds panels, brackets, and trim in place to prevent looseness or movement.
• Commonly used where stripped, missing, or broken screws cause rattling, misalignment, or parts that won't stay attached.
• Compatible with standard screwdrivers or nut drivers sized to the binding-head.

• Disconnect power and unplug the appliance before working on it.
• Use the correct driver bit to avoid cam-out or head damage.
• Start straight and apply steady pressure; avoid overtightening to prevent stripping the formed threads.
• If the original hole is badly damaged, assess for repair or use of a larger fastener as needed.

This thermostat controls refrigerator temperature to help maintain proper cooling and prevent spoilage. It replaces a failed or inaccurate temperature control to restore consistent operation. What it does:

• Senses internal temperature and signals the compressor to cycle on/off
• Helps keep food at steady, safe temperatures when functioning correctly
• Commonly replaces thermostats that cause warm temperatures or inconsistent cooling
• Works as a direct replacement when matching the OEM part number

• Always disconnect power to the appliance before servicing to avoid shock or injury
• Handle the sensor and terminals carefully; avoid bending or damaging components
• Basic hand tools are typically required; follow your model's service manual for exact instructions

This outer door panel replaces a damaged or worn exterior door trim to restore the appliance's appearance and door fit. It provides a sturdy mounting surface for the door assembly and helps keep the interior sealed and insulated. What it does:

• Replaces cracked, dented, or warped door exterior that affects appearance or sealing
• Restores proper door alignment and helps the door close evenly
• Provides mounting surface for door hardware and window/trim pieces
• Prevents drafts and protects internal components from damage

• Disconnect power and, if applicable, gas supply before beginning any repair.
• Installation typically requires removing door screws and retaining clips; keep fasteners for reuse.
• Handle the panel carefully to avoid scratching the finish; use gloves and a soft surface to protect parts.
• If the door contains glass or trim pieces, ensure those components are secure and undamaged during reassembly.
