This microwave thermostat is a temperature-sensitive safety switch that helps protect the unit from overheating. When the preset limit is reached, it interrupts power to the affected circuit to help prevent damage and erratic shutdowns.

• Monitors temperature at its mounting location and opens the circuit if overheating is detected
• Helps protect internal components from excessive heat
• Common symptoms of a failed thermostat include: unit shuts off during cooking, won't start until it cools down, or has no power/no heat due to an open safety
• Replace if the original tests open when it should be closed

• Disconnect power by unplugging the unit or switching off the circuit breaker before servicing
• Microwaves contain a high-voltage capacitor that can retain a dangerous charge; only qualified persons should service and discharge the capacitor
• Note wire locations before removal and transfer connections firmly to the new thermostat
• Mount the thermostat securely and in the same position to ensure proper temperature sensing

This cover-damper is the replacement plastic cover that fits over the refrigerator air damper to help direct cold air between compartments for more consistent cooling. Replaces a cracked, broken or missing damper cover. What it does:

• Protects the damper assembly and helps channel airflow from the evaporator to the fresh-food and freezer compartments
• Restores proper air direction when a broken cover causes uneven temperatures or poor cooling
• Works with the damper to reduce drafts and improve compartment temperature balance
• Simple, passive part that mounts to the damper housing

• One cover-damper

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting any repair
• Remove interior panels or shelves as needed to access the damper housing; handle plastic clips gently to avoid breakage
• Verify fit and orientation against the existing part before finalizing installation
• If the damper motor or actuator is damaged or the issue persists after installing this cover, inspect the full damper assembly

This motor ventilation part is the replacement vent fan motor that moves air through the appliance for proper cooling and exhaust. Replacing a failed vent motor restores airflow and helps the appliance maintain safe operating temperatures. What it does

• Spins the ventilation fan to move air for cooling or exhaust
• Helps prevent overheating by promoting proper airflow
• Can stop symptoms such as reduced or no exhaust, weak airflow, or abnormal motor noise
• Works as the airflow drive component in the appliance's ventilation system

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting any repair
• Basic mechanical skill and common tools are usually required; refer to the service manual for disassembly instructions

This washered screw secures panels and internal components where a combined screw-and-washer fastener is required, restoring proper fit and stopping movement or rattling. Simple replacement with the correct fastener keeps assemblies aligned and stable. What it does

• Secures panels, brackets or components where a washered screw is specified
• Replaces missing, stripped or corroded fasteners that allow vibration or gaps
• Helps stop rattling, loose panels or misaligned parts caused by a failed screw
• Provides a sealed bearing surface to distribute load and prevent pull-through

• One washered screw

• Disconnect power and/or water to the appliance before starting any repair
• Use the correct screwdriver or bit to avoid cam-out and fastener damage
• Align parts before tightening and snug; avoid over-tightening which can strip threads or crack plastic

This 10-watt halogen lamp restores clear lighting in select microwave models. Replace a burned-out bulb so you can see the cavity or the cooktop below more easily during use and keep visibility as intended. What it does:

• Provides illumination inside the microwave cavity or for the cooktop surface, depending on model
• Restores normal brightness after the original bulb has failed
• Common symptoms include no light, dim or flickering light, or intermittent operation
• Use only the specified wattage and lamp type for your model to ensure proper operation

• 1 halogen lamp

• Disconnect power by unplugging the unit or switching off the circuit breaker before servicing
• Allow the area and old bulb to cool completely before handling
• Handle the glass capsule with a clean cloth or gloves; oils from skin can shorten bulb life
• Reinstall any lens or cover securely before restoring power

This replacement rack holder supports the removable wire rack inside your microwave, keeping it steady and level. Replace a cracked or missing holder to restore stable, reliable two-level cooking performance. What it does:

• Holds the interior wire rack securely against the cavity wall
• Maintains correct rack height and alignment for stable support
• Helps prevent rack wobbling, slipping, or rattling during use
• Common signs of failure: cracked/heat-damaged holder, rack tilts or falls, scorch/arcing marks near the support

• 1 rack holder

• Disconnect power by unplugging the microwave or switching off the circuit breaker
• Remove the wire rack and note the holder's orientation and location
• Remove the existing holder (release clip or remove screw) and transfer any original mounting hardware if needed
• Seat the new holder fully, reinstall the rack level, and test with a microwave-safe cup of water

This high-voltage transformer supplies the elevated voltage needed by the magnetron to produce microwave energy. Replacing a faulty transformer restores heating performance and reduces risk of electrical faults in the oven. What it does:

• Converts line voltage to the high voltage required by the magnetron to generate microwaves.
• Can cause no-heat conditions when failed; replaces a transformer that no longer powers the magnetron.
• Works with the HV capacitor and diode as part of the microwave high-voltage circuit.

• Disconnect power at the house breaker and unplug the appliance before servicing.
• The high-voltage capacitor can hold a dangerous charge—discharge it properly before touching HV components.
• Use insulated tools and avoid contact with transformer terminals; refer to the service manual for wiring and mounting details.

This gas flame sensor detects whether a burner's flame is present so the range/oven's gas valve and ignition control can operate safely. It helps restore reliable ignition and prevents the valve from staying open when no flame is detected. What it does:

• Senses the presence of a gas flame and signals the control to keep the valve open
• Helps prevent gas flow if a flame is not detected
• Can stop ignition or cause the oven/range not to heat when failing
• Commonly replaced when burners won't stay lit or control shows ignition-related errors

• One gas flame sensor

• Turn off electrical power and shut off the gas supply before servicing
• Handle the sensor and its connector carefully to avoid damage
• Reinstall in the exact position and orientation; loose connections can cause false faults
