This is a nut that is used in many microwave ovens. It is typically used to hold interior fan in place. A nut is a fastener that is used to hold two items together or keep one component secure against a surface. Use and time can cause the nut to become stripped, damaged, or broken. If the nut is broken, it will no longer hold the fan in the right location. The nut will need to be replaced.Before replacing this part, the microwave should be unplugged. Open the refrigerator door and remove the cover that goes over the fan. The nut can then be removed using a nut driver. Replace the other parts before using the appliance.This nut is used in microwave ovens manufactured by Crosley, Electrolux, Frigidaire, and Kenmore. It is sold as a single part. This is an authentic OEM replacement part is sourced directly from the manufacturer.

This convection fan motor powers the fan that circulates heated air during convection cooking, helping your appliance maintain even temperatures and consistent results. Replacing a weak or noisy motor restores proper airflow and quieter operation.

• Drives the convection fan to move hot air throughout the cooking cavity
• Promotes even heat distribution for baking and roasting in Convection modes
• Activates when the control calls for convection airflow
• Common symptoms: fan not spinning, intermittent or slow operation, rattling or squealing noises, uneven cooking

• Disconnect power and allow the appliance to cool completely. Microwaves can retain dangerous high voltage even when unplugged.
• Access the motor behind the rear or interior fan cover per your model's design.
• Note wire positions; transfer the existing fan blade and any mounting hardware to the new motor if required.
• Ensure the fan spins freely before reassembly; restore power and test a Convection cycle.

This motor drives the fan or mechanism in your cooking appliance to move air as designed. Replacing a worn or seized motor restores proper airflow and quieter operation for consistent baking, cooling, or venting performance, depending on model.

• Powers the appliance's fan or drive to circulate air or move exhaust
• Helps maintain even temperatures or ventilation during operation
• Replaces a noisy, slow, or non-spinning motor

• Check your owner's manual—many ovens require removing racks before a self-clean cycle

Bake element restores oven heat by producing the radiant heat needed for baking and roasting. Replacing a worn or damaged bake element helps the oven reach and maintain set temperatures for more consistent cooking results. What it does:

• Heats the oven cavity to provide direct radiant heat for baking and roasting.
• Use when the element shows visible breaks, blistering, or does not glow when the oven is set to high.
• Common symptom indicators: oven won't reach set temperature, uneven baking, or longer-than-normal cook times.
• Works as a direct replacement for the oven's lower/bake heating element.

• Disconnect power at the breaker or unplug the appliance before starting any repair.
• Allow the oven to cool completely and wear gloves to avoid sharp edges.
• Match the part to your model and terminal layout before installing; tighten connections securely.

This electrical microswitch opens or closes a circuit when its actuator is engaged, allowing the control to sense position or enable a function. Replacing a worn switch restores reliable signaling and prevents intermittent faults in select ranges and wall ovens. What it does

• Changes state (open/closed) when actuated to complete or break a circuit

• Access the motor from the rear or through the oven cavity per your model's service procedure
• Note wire positions; transfer the fan blade and any mounting hardware from the old motor if required
• Ensure the fan spins freely by hand, secure wiring, then restore power and test convection operation

This motor powers the oven's fan to move air through the cavity or chassis, depending on the model. Replacing a weak or failed motor restores proper airflow, helping maintain stable temperatures and protect internal components during cooking and cool-down. What it does and common symptoms:

• Drives the oven's fan for cooling and/or convection airflow
• Fan does not run or starts intermittently
• Loud humming, squealing, or grinding from the fan area
• Control area feels unusually hot or oven struggles to maintain temperature
• Uneven baking performance when using convection (on applicable models)

• One motor

• Disconnect power at the breaker before servicing; allow the oven to cool
• Access is typically from the rear or top; remove panels to reach the motor
