This thermostat switch is a temperature-sensitive safety device used in select appliances to open or close an electrical circuit at a set temperature. Replacing a failed switch helps restore proper temperature control and protects components from overheating.

• Monitors temperature and changes state (open/closed) at its calibration point
• Helps prevent overheating or incorrect temperature regulation
• Common failure signs: no heat/overheating, intermittent cycling, or unit shutting off prematurely
• May be mounted to a bracket or surface near the heated area, depending on the model

• Disconnect power before servicing; verify no voltage is present
• Note wire positions and orientation of the original switch before removal
• Transfer any mounting hardware from the old part if not reusable
• After installation, test operation and observe initial heating cycle for proper function

• 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 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
