Kenmore Microwave 665.61609100 (66561609100, 665 61609100) Parts

Replace a worn or misaligned interlock with this microwave door interlock assembly. It aligns and supports the door switches so the control accurately senses a fully closed door, restoring safe, reliable operation.

• Interfaces with the door latch hooks to actuate the safety door switches
• Ensures the microwave only runs when the door is fully closed
• Useful when the original interlock is cracked, loose, or out of alignment

• Disconnect power before service; microwaves can retain dangerous high voltage even when unplugged
• Access is typically behind the control panel; over-the-range units may need to be taken down for service
• Mount securely and verify the door latch hooks smoothly actuate the switches
• After reassembly, test door closure and start/stop operation before regular use

The Mount-Cabinet is an OEM part for Whirlpool microwaves. This part securely attaches the microwave to surrounding cabinetry, ensuring stability and safety in your kitchen setup. The Mount-Cabinet provides a firm hold, reducing the risk of movement or shifting that could lead to damage or operational issues.

Causes of a bad Mount-Cabinet can vary, including the natural wear and tear over time, improper installation leading to undue stress on the mount, or physical damage from external forces. 

Symptoms of a bad Mount-Cabinet include:

• The microwave becoming loose from its cabinet mounting
• Visible wear or damage to the mounting parts
• Increased noise or vibration during operation, indicating a lack of stability

This OEM Whirlpool part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper and some Kenmore models.

This magnetron capacitor is the microwave high-voltage capacitor that helps supply the magnetron with the pulse of energy needed to produce heat. Replacing a failing capacitor restores normal heating performance and reduces arcing or loud humming. What it does

• Stores and releases the high-voltage pulse required by the magnetron so the microwave can generate heat.
• Prevents unstable magnetron operation that can cause weak or no heating.
• Common symptoms of a failing capacitor: oven runs but doesn't heat, intermittent heating, loud buzzing/humming, or visible arcing inside the cavity.
• A failed capacitor can also cause blown internal fuses or tripped circuits.

• One capacitor.

• Disconnect power and verify the appliance is completely de-energized before servicing.
• Capacitors can hold dangerous charge; discharge the capacitor safely with an insulated tool.
• Use the exact replacement part and follow the appliance service manual for routing and connections.

The Screw is an OEM part for Whirlpool microwaves. It is responsible for securing various parts of the microwave together. This screw ensures a tight and secure fit for parts and helps maintain the structural integrity of the microwave, preventing any loose or rattling parts.

If you notice symptoms such as loose or wobbly components, difficulty in opening or closing the microwave door, or abnormal noises while the microwave is in use, it may be time to replace this part.

Symptoms of a bad microwave screw include:

• Loose or wobbly components
• Difficulty in opening or closing the microwave door
• Abnormal noises during operation

Restore your Whirlpool microwave by replacing the faulty or missing microwave screw with this genuine OEM part.

This OEM part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models.
