Kenmore Microwave 721.80823500 (72180823500, 721 80823500) Parts

A replacement glass shelf that provides a sturdy, easy-to-clean surface for storing food inside your refrigerator. Restores lost or damaged shelving to help keep items organized and stable. What it does:

• Replaces a cracked, chipped or missing interior glass shelf so food no longer sits unevenly or risks falling.
• Provides a solid, flat surface for bins, containers and loose items.
• Helps maintain proper airflow by fitting into the intended shelf supports.
• Matches original OEM fit and finish for a flush, secure installation.

• Remove all items from the surrounding area and support adjacent shelves before installing.
• Slide into existing shelf tracks until it rests securely on the supports; do not force.
• Handle with care to avoid chipping; wear gloves to reduce cut risk.
• If glass is broken, remove debris carefully and unplug the appliance before cleaning the area.

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.

• Monitors temperature at its mounting location inside the microwave
• Opens on overtemperature to interrupt power for safety
• Depending on model/location, a failed or open thermostat can cause no heat, the unit shutting off mid-cycle, or no power until it cools
• Helps prevent damage to the magnetron, cavity, and wiring due to overheating

• Unplug the microwave before service; the high-voltage capacitor can retain a dangerous charge
• Note wire positions, remove mounting screws, and install the new thermostat flat against the surface for proper heat sensing
• Reassemble and test; ensure vents and filters are clear to maintain proper airflow and prevent future overheating

A high-voltage capacitor for the appliance's high-voltage circuit that stores and releases electrical energy to support proper heating operation. Replacing a failing capacitor can restore consistent heating and prevent related electrical faults. What it does:

• Stores and delivers high-voltage energy used by the magnetron/ high-voltage assembly to generate heat.
• Failure may cause no-heat or weak-heat conditions in the oven.
• Faulty capacitors can contribute to arcing, loud humming, or blown high-voltage fuses.
• Works as part of the HV circuit; not a user-serviceable low-voltage control.

• High-voltage components can hold a dangerous charge—disconnect power and discharge the capacitor before servicing.
• Use insulated tools and avoid touching terminals; verify proper operation with appropriate test equipment.

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:

• Provides the brief electrical surge needed to start and keep the motor running
• Commonly linked to motors that hum, fail to start, or run intermittently
• Helps prevent overheating from repeated start attempts when functioning properly
• Works with the appliance's start circuitry to ensure consistent performance

• Disconnect power to the appliance before accessing electrical components
• Discharge the capacitor and use insulated tools
• Observe polarity/terminal layout and secure connections to factory specifications
• Dispose of the old capacitor according to local electronic-waste regulations

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 temperature control thermostat senses and regulates refrigerator temperature to keep food cold and appliances running efficiently. It replaces a worn or faulty controller to restore proper cooling cycles and temperature stability. What it does:

• Senses cabinet temperature and tells the compressor/evaporator fan when to run
• Restores normal cooling if a failed thermostat causes warm temperatures
• Stops continuous running or short-cycling when the thermostat was the issue
• Helps prevent food spoilage by maintaining consistent temperatures

• Disconnect power before servicing to avoid shock or injury
• Handle terminals and sensing elements carefully; avoid kinking or damaging capillary tubing
• Access may require removing interior panels or control housing—refer to your service manual

This drive shaft transfers motor torque to the appliance drum or tub, restoring proper rotation and reducing wobble. A direct-fit replacement designed to return smooth, quiet operation when the original shaft is worn or damaged. What it does

• Connects the motor/transmission to the drum or tub so the drum can spin.
• Restores correct alignment and rotation to reduce wobbling or scraping.
• Helps stop symptoms like noisy operation, grinding, or a drum that won't turn.
• Works as the mechanical link in drive assemblies where a worn shaft prevents normal function.

• Disconnect power and water supply, and drain the appliance before beginning service.
• Access may require removing the cabinet, front panel, or tub—follow the service manual for your model.
• Use appropriate tools and follow OEM instructions for safe removal and reassembly.

A molded air guide that channels internal airflow to improve circulation and component cooling inside the appliance. Replaces a worn or broken guide to restore designed airflow paths and reduce air leaks. What it does

• Directs and channels airflow through the appliance to support proper ventilation and cooling.
• Helps maintain consistent operating temperatures by guiding air where the manufacturer intended.
• Common symptom: reduced airflow or cooling performance, longer cycle times, or inconsistent operation.
• Common symptom: rattling or vibration if the guide is cracked, loose, or damaged.

• One air guide.

• Disconnect power (and gas, if applicable) before beginning any repair.
• Inspect mounting tabs and surrounding seals; replace any damaged fasteners to ensure a secure fit.
• Handle the plastic guide carefully to avoid cracking; align tabs and press into place until seated.
• Test operation after installation; recheck for unusual noises or airflow issues.
