• Verify clearances and door swing before fully tightening mounting hardware

This turntable coupler connects the microwave's turntable motor to the glass tray to drive smooth rotation during cooking. Replacing a worn coupler restores even heating and prevents the tray from slipping, stalling, or wobbling. What it does:

• Transfers rotation from the turntable motor to the glass tray
• Centers and supports the tray for stable, even spinning
• When worn or cracked, may cause the turntable not to turn, slip, wobble, or click/grind at the center hub
• Helps restore consistent heating by ensuring proper tray movement

• 1 turntable coupler

• Disconnect power by unplugging the microwave or switching off the breaker before service
• Remove the glass tray and roller ring; lift the old coupler straight up off the motor shaft
• Align the new coupler with the shaft and press firmly until fully seated

This hood damper assembly opens to allow exhaust airflow and closes to help block outside drafts and odors when the fan is off. It restores proper venting and prevents back-drafts in over-the-range hoods and microwaves. What it does:

• Opens with the vent fan to let cooking smoke and steam exit the home.
• Closes when the fan is off to reduce backdrafts, outside air, and odors.
• A faulty or stuck damper can cause reduced airflow, rattling noises, or air blowing back into the kitchen.
• Works as the moving flap between the appliance exhaust and the ductwork to control airflow direction.

• Disconnect power to the appliance (unplug or shut off the circuit breaker) before servicing.
• Access typically requires removing the hood or microwave grille/cover; keep track of screws and mounting hardware.
• Basic hand tools (screwdrivers, possibly a nut driver) are usually sufficient; handle the damper flap gently to avoid bending.
• After installation, restore power and run the fan to ensure the damper opens and closes smoothly.

This latch body is the door latch component that secures the appliance door during operation, restoring reliable closure so cycles can run normally. Use it to replace a worn or damaged latch that won't hold the door closed. What it does:

• Engages the door striker to hold the door closed and maintain a proper seal during operation
• Works with the door latch mechanism so the appliance can complete cycles that require a closed door
• Common symptom: door won't stay closed, is difficult to latch, or feels loose at the latch point
• Replacing a damaged latch body can prevent intermittent door-open errors and restore normal door operation

• Disconnect power (unplug or turn off circuit breaker) before starting any repair
• Remove the door or access panel as needed; keep track of fasteners and any trim pieces
• Handle door glass and trim carefully to avoid damage; test latch engagement before full reassembly

This 50-watt halogen lamp restores bright, reliable lighting in your appliance. Replace a burned-out bulb to see clearly while cooking and checking food progress, keeping the cavity or cooktop area illuminated as designed.
