Illuminates the microwave interior for visibility during cooking. Replace when burnt out or dim. Confirm fit with your model number before ordering.
Removed the Microwave from the wall, then had to almost completely disassemble the sheet metal surrounding the microwave unit itself. Lots of screws and wires to work around. Takes 2 people to remove the microwave and set it on a stand outside of the wall unit. Once you get to the light bulb, the replacement is easy, just very challenging to get to the light bulb.

Replace your microwave's broken or cracked glass turntable tray. This circular rotating plate sits on the cavity floor to hold food during cooking.
Replaced it. It took over 4 months to get the part due to a lack of inventory. I initially ordered from another supplier who after several months sent an incorrect part. Shifted to AppliancePartsPros. They confirmed the inventory shortage and gave me a two-month delivery estimate. About a month into the wait, they provided an update. The next update was noticed. That the part had arrived and was being shipped. Part arrived on time. Correct part, well packed, took about a minute to unpack... Read more
The Switch is an OEM part for Whirlpool microwaves. It controls the turning on and off of power to the microwave during cooking cycles as well as detects positions within cycles to signal appropriate actuations of the microwave's magnetron, fans, and lights. The switch is a crucial electrical component that facilitates the fully automatic operation of preset cooking programs.
Causes of a bad switch can include wear and tear over time or unexpected surges that cause electrical component failure.
Symptoms of a bad switch include:
This OEM Whirlpool part can also be used on Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore/Sears brand appliances.
I'm a 56 year old divorced woman. I started doing these kinds of repairs to save some money and honestly, to see if I could. So yes, if I can do it, it's not that tough to do. My microwave is built in above the stove - getting it down and back up was the hardest part of the job. An extra pair of strong hands really helps-for anybody, not just a 56 year old woman. The actual repair was pretty easy. Most likely problem was pretty obvious after a little research. Easy to take off cover, get... Read more
Fix sparking or melted plastic in your microwave. This waveguide cover protects the magnetron opening. Easy DIY replacement—just pry off and snap in.
Ordered this part for my KA SS microwave and it was a perfect match. Removing the old cover was not that easy. It snaps in tight and I did not want to damage the SS top. The two fixed tabs go toward the back of the microwave and the two tabs with pinch pins go toward the door. You have to lower the end of the cover far enough to push something into the center arm of the tabs and release the pinch pins allowing the cover to drop down, then you pull toward the door and pull the tabs in the...

Halogen light bulb illuminates your microwave or oven cavity. Replace when light dims or burns out after extended use. Confirm fit with model number.
I researched on the net, ordered the part, it arrived the next day. Took about 45 minutes to replace. Fairly easy fix. Read more
Support ring sits beneath the glass turntable and allows smooth rotation during cooking. Replace if cracked, worn, or causing tray wobble or binding.
I removed the Shaft by just pulling up on it. I noticed the flat sided hole on the bottom of the Shaft was damaged and a small piece of it was missing. By using a mirror and a pair of tweezers, I was able to remove the small broken off piece of plastic from the hole in the middle of the bottom of the oven. The Shaft still would not turn the plate because of the damage. I ordered the new part and installed it, and everything now works fine. I decided to replace the Ring as well because the... Read more
Microwave turntable stopped spinning? This coupler connects the motor to the glass tray. Simple DIY fix—just pull out the old part and pop in the new one.
Microwave not heating but runs? The magnetron generates microwave energy for cooking. Intermediate repair requiring discharge of capacitor first.
Replacing a magnetron in my particular 9-year-old microwave (a microwave/hood combination) was not a simple “plug & play” operation. That is why I am placing this in the slightly difficult area. First, it takes 2 people to remove the microwave from the top of the stove. Next the main outer panel need to be removed. After that, 2 sheet metal panels need to be removed in order to expose the high voltage components for testing. Always discharge the high voltage capacitor first before doing... Read more

Microwave not heating or making loud humming noise? The diode converts AC to DC power for the magnetron. Moderate difficulty repair, 1-2 hours.
Replaced Magnetron and diode. Fixed problem and microwave workso again. Very time consuming because of microwave/oven built-in combo. Not easy to get to parts that needed to be replaced. Still cheaper to repair than to replace. Read more
This line fuse protects the appliance's incoming power circuit by opening if an overload or short occurs. Replacing a blown fuse can help restore power once the underlying issue is corrected, preventing further damage to sensitive components.
Tested the High Voltage Capacitor which showing no capacitance and no resistance. Replaced it together with the diode and the line fuse no longer blew and the microwave is back in service. Read more
Microwave not heating or making loud humming noise? The high-voltage capacitor supplies power to the magnetron. DIY repair in under an hour.
I ordered a new magnetron and a new capacitor and after they arrived I set to work. I took plenty of pictures with my phone to remind me how the components came apart but it was pretty straight forward. Once the new parts were in and everything was reassembled the microwave worked good as new. The repair was less than a third the cost of replacement and no special tools are required. Just be careful to discharge the capacitor. This website is a great resource. Read more
Microwave door won't open when you press the button? This release rod connects the button to the latch mechanism, restoring smooth door operation.
Fix a microwave turntable that won't spin with this drive shaft. Connects the motor to the coupler and glass tray. DIY repair in under 30 minutes.
Turned oven up on it side to get to bottom and removed bottom cover(5 screws), then 2 screws holding the small motor in place. Extracted the bad coupling that connects the motor to the hub that turns the turntable. Inserted the new coupling, remounted the motor, then installed the bottom cover, turned oven back upright, plugged it in and turntable operates normally. Read more
