The Switch, Micro is an OEM part for LG microwaves. This micro switch is crucial for the operation of the microwave door mechanism, ensuring that the microwave only operates when the door is securely closed.
Causes of a bad micro switch can include wear and tear from frequent use, damage due to electrical faults, or physical impact that disrupts its functionality.
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
Microwave door won't stay closed or latch? This door latch spring provides tension to secure the door shut. DIY repair in under 10 minutes with video help.
Ordered door latch part and new spring. You Tube video helped me identify what I needed. I tried the fix recommended and it didn't work so I ordered the parts. It took less than 5 minutes to switch out the old for the new. If the door doesn't latch, you can't run the microwave and it's key. It wasn't an expensive or hard fix to get my microwave up and running again. So pleased with AppliancePartsPros for having what I needed and being reasonable about pricing. Turnaround time was excellent! 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
Turntable stopped turning or making noise? This microwave motor rotates the glass tray for even heating. Easy DIY fix with basic tools in under an hour.
I googled the make and model, and found the part on AppliancePartsPros.com. The underside of the oven has a metal grille with numerous openings of various shapes and sizes. There is a rectangle that is punched into this grille, just below the motor. I pried between the vent holes to snap the connections near the perimeter on the punched rectangle. I only did this on three sides. Then pry up the rectangle away from the connected side. Undid the hold down screw, separated the motor from the... Read more
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.
The tray was an easy fix as I looked up Kenmore Microwave and ordered the replacement. The light bulb was a little trickier as to replace it you must have a special screwdriver that has a 5-pointed bit with a hole in the middle. This is because nothing else is safely serviceable on the microwave. I unplugged the microwave and moved it to my kitchen table to do the work. The entire outside case had to be removed to access the light bulb which is on the upper right side. You must unplug the... Read more

I searched the web and it seemed that many people had a similar problem when gunk got on the waveguide plate/cover. When I removed the cover, one of the plastic latches broke so rather than just trying to clean the plate, I had to order a new one. The new one arrived in just a couple of days, I put the plate on and at least for the last few days, no more arcing. <$10 fix for my over the stove microwave. Read more
