Symptoms of a bad micro switch include:
This OEM LG part is also compatible with Sears/Kenmore models.
Knowing the odds of 2 failures occurring at the same exact time was unusually high, I just searched your site for what other broken items might affect these two failures. Came up with next control item upstream and tallied that item failure with percentages of successful repairs, (4 mins.) door safety switch. Since I had to change out the most likely of the 3 and since I was already was going to be into the switch panel I ordered all 3 and swapped them all out to cover my butt, as they were... Read more
Removes cooking odors, smoke, and grease from recirculating microwave vents. Replace when odors persist despite cleaning. Confirm fit by model number.
When Microwaving food, the display panel would seem to act normal, but the typical microwave sound would be absent. No microwave action would occur. Eventually an F5 code would display. Problem was the upper door switch. Found it by opening up the cabinet, removing the display panel (1 screw and a couple of plugs) and testing all three micro switched with a meter. Two switches are for the door and one for some kind of ventilation flap. They are all in the same area. Go to YouTube to see... Read more
Holds the damper assembly in place inside the microwave cavity above the wave stirrer. Replace if bracket is bent, broken, or missing during installation.

I was able to schedule my installation to enjoy my new appliance. It's been almost 4 weeks and still no... Read more
The Time Delay Fuse is an OEM part for LG microwaves. This fuse provides a safety mechanism by delaying the flow of electricity, protecting the microwave's electrical components from power surges and ensuring the appliance operates safely. It helps to prevent immediate damage in the event of a power surge or electrical fault, thus prolonging the lifespan of the microwave.
Over time, the time delay fuse can become damaged due to electrical surges, wear and tear, or faulty connections. If the fuse blows, it can disrupt the microwave’s ability to function correctly.
Symptoms of a bad time delay fuse include:
Called AppliancePartsPros because of good experiencing diagnosing problem with a dishwasher repair. We definitely are modest income amateurs! Same excellent response to our questions. Three possible causes. Used easy search menu to fine replacement parts. Bought all three, knowing that if all not needed, the others could be returned (within 365 days) for refund. Replaced the capacitor successfully after calling to get more help with a couple of places where we got stuck. Oven now works... Read more
The Interlock Door Switch is an OEM part for LG microwaves. It is a safety component located on the door of the microwave designed to prevent the microwave from operating unless the door is securely closed. The interlock door switch works with the microwave's electronic control board to sense when the door is open or closed and allow or disallow operation accordingly. Causes of a bad interlock door switch can include normal wear and tear from repeated opening and closing of the microwave door over time. Symptoms of a bad interlock door switch include:
This OEM LG part is also compatible with some Sears/Kenmore microwaves.
Turntable won't spin or rotates unevenly? This microwave turntable motor restores smooth rotation. Easy DIY repair—most complete it in under 10 minutes.
Removed 8 screws from bottom panel on microwave. Pulled two prong plug off old motor. Read supplied voltage off motor decal and tested for it. Deemed motor to be bad and changed it. Works great. After tearing old motor apart it seems a liquid got in there from inside microwave. No seal on motor. Bad design flaw in my opinion. Read more
Microwave won't heat or makes loud buzzing noise? The diode regulates magnetron current flow. Simple repair—test with multimeter for continuity.
I have a multimeter so I was able to check the fuse per website recommendations and it was blown. However, the capacitor on the microwave was also original so I elected to replace the capacitor, fuse, and the ground protect diode. The repair was very simple (making sure the capacitor was discharged before replacing) and the microwave is now up and running again. Excellent trade to buy $40 worth of parts rather than a new $400 microwave. One nit - Kenmore puts a screw in the back that... Read more
Replace your microwave's halogen bulb to restore interior and cooktop lighting. Recommended when bulb burns out from normal use. Verify fit by model number.
The replacement lamp fit perfectly. I had tried other replacement lamps from the hardware store but wasn't able to find one that would fit. The lamp socket on the microwave was slightly smaller than a standard bulb. Read more
Glass turntable tray for microwaves. Supports dishes and rotates for even heating. Replace if cracked, broken, or missing to restore proper rotation.
The tray was dropped while being cleaned and broke. This replacement tray was a perfect fit. Read more
Fix F4 error codes or sensor cook failures with this microwave humidity sensor. Restores automatic cooking cycles. Moderate DIY difficulty.
Replaced the Humidity sensor, Thermistor and door switches. I replaced these thinking the problem was one of the items but didn't want to trial and error one part at a time. Plus the cost was reasonable so if these didn't help I wasn't out a lot of money. I sense the door switch was the problem. Replaced all items and the microwave works great. Thanks for the advice and the cost of the parts. Read more
This thermostat is a temperature-sensitive safety switch used in LG microwaves. It monitors internal temperature and opens the circuit when overheating is detected to help protect components from heat damage.
Replacement screw for securing panels, brackets, and internal components. Restores tight fit and proper alignment when original hardware is stripped or missing.
Disassembled and replaced ac motor. The hardest part was to pull the microwave out of the cabinet. Read more
Microwave won't heat? A failing high-voltage capacitor disrupts the heating circuit. This part stores electrical energy for consistent operation.
Thermistor is a temperature-sensing replacement that monitors refrigerator and freezer temperatures so the control board can regulate cooling. Replacing a faulty thermistor restores accurate temperature readings and helps stabilize cooling performance. What it does:
If your microwave heats unevenly or makes unusual noises, a damaged stirrer fan cover may be the cause. This cover protects the fan and ensures proper heat distribution. Easy DIY fix.
This is a motor start/run capacitor that helps the appliance's motor start and run smoothly by supplying a brief boost of electrical energy. Replacing a failing capacitor restores reliable motor startup and operation. What it does:
