Gh7208xrs-4 Parts

This lamp housing secures and insulates the appliance light socket and bulb, keeping the light stable and protected. Replacing a damaged housing restores a safe, reliable mount so you can clearly see inside when the light is on.

• Supports and protects the light socket and bulb
• Mounts the light assembly to the interior panel or liner
• Helps shield nearby wiring from heat and vibration
• Common symptoms include a cracked/melted housing, loose bulb or socket, or intermittent/no interior light with a known-good bulb

• Disconnect power before servicing to avoid electrical shock
• Remove the lens/cover and bulb to access the housing
• Note wiring and orientation; transfer the socket and wiring from the old housing if applicable
• Secure the new housing without overtightening; test light operation before reassembling covers

This interlock is the door safety switch assembly that keeps the appliance from running with the door open, restoring proper door sensing so the unit only operates when the door is fully closed. What it does

• Acts as the door safety switch to interrupt power or start signal when the door is open.
• Prevents the appliance from starting or running if the door won't latch or the switch fails.
• Common symptom: appliance does not start or stops immediately when the door is closed or opened.
• Useful when replacing a worn or damaged door latch/switch that causes intermittent operation.

• Disconnect power (unplug or switch off at the breaker) before servicing to avoid shock or injury.
• Access typically requires removing the appliance's front or control panel; keep track of fasteners and wire locations.
• Handle electrical connectors carefully; inspect wiring and connectors for damage before reconnecting.
• Test the switch with a multimeter.

This magnetron is the microwave's high-voltage tube that generates the microwaves used to heat food. Replacing a faulty magnetron restores heating performance and stops power-related cooking failures. What it does:

• Converts high-voltage electrical energy into microwave radiation that heats food
• Common symptom: microwave runs but does not heat
• Also be needed if you notice humming, arcing, or a burning electrical smell during operation
• Works with the oven's high-voltage system and waveguide to deliver cooking power

• Disconnect power before servicing; microwave high-voltage components can retain lethal charge
• Discharge the high-voltage capacitor and follow safety procedures
• Inspect waveguide cover and surrounding components for damage when replacing the magnetron

This thermostat is a temperature-limiting control that helps regulate oven/cooking temperature and prevents overheating for safer operation. It replaces a failed limiter to restore proper temperature control and reliable heat cycling. What it does

• Opens or interrupts power when oven temperature exceeds the set limit to prevent overheating
• Restores normal thermostat cycling when the original limiter fails or sticks
• Common symptom: oven runs too hot or will not maintain set temperature
• Common symptom: oven shuts off or will not heat because limiter has opened

• One thermostat (temperature limiter) as shown

• Disconnect power to the appliance before attempting any service
• Access location, removal, and wiring vary by model; refer to your model-specific service instructions
• Handle the sensing element carefully; do not kink or damage the capillary/tube

This replacement door tension spring restores proper door balance and closure on compatible Whirlpool appliances, helping the door stay aligned and close securely. It's a direct-fit repair part when the existing spring is worn or broken. What it does:

• Provides counterbalance tension so the appliance door opens and closes smoothly
• Prevents the door from sagging, sticking, or not staying fully closed
• Reduces excess strain on hinges and latch mechanisms caused by a weak spring
• Helps eliminate rattling or uneven door movement that can occur when springs fail

• One replacement door tension spring

• Disconnect power and empty the appliance door area before starting any repair
• Use caution: springs are under tension—wear safety glasses and gloves
• Typical install requires basic hand tools; follow OEM diagram for correct routing and attachment

This interlock is the door latch assembly that keeps a dryer door closed and prevents the dryer from running when the door is open. It restores proper door sensing for safe, reliable operation. What it does:

• Secures the dryer door so the machine only runs with the door fully closed
• Activates the door-safety circuit so the dryer stops when the door opens
• Commonly replaced when the door won't latch or the dryer won't start
• Helps eliminate intermittent start/no-start symptoms related to door sensing

• One interlock assembly

• Disconnect power before starting any repair to avoid electrical shock
• Replace only with the exact part number specified for your model
• Basic hand tools are typically required; avoid forcing plastic clips and connectors

A replacement mounting screw used to secure appliance panels and components. This OEM-style screw helps restore proper fit and reduces rattling or loose parts for a finished, secure assembly. What it does:

• Fastens control panels, brackets, or interior trim to the appliance frame
• Restores proper alignment when an original screw is missing or stripped
• Stops rattling or vibration caused by loose fasteners
• Matches OEM fit for reliable fastening when the correct screw is used

• Turn power off at the breaker before servicing electrical appliances
• Match screw length, head style and thread to the removed fastener before installation
• Use the correct screwdriver or bit to avoid cam-out or head damage
• Do not overtighten; snug until secure to avoid stripping threads or cracking components

This replacement screw is a general-purpose fastener used to secure exterior panels, trim, or internal components on compatible Whirlpool appliances. It restores proper fit and reduces rattles or loose parts for a safer, more reliable appliance. What it does:

• Secures panels, trim pieces, or mounting brackets to keep components in place
• Prevents vibration-related noise and movement caused by missing or loose fasteners
• Helps maintain alignment of control panels and exterior housings
• Replaces stripped, corroded, or lost screws to restore original fit

• Use the correct screwdriver or bit to avoid stripping the head
• Match screw length and thread engagement with the original for a secure fit
• Tighten to snug only; over-tightening can strip threads or crack panels
• Disconnect power before performing repairs on electrical components
