This foam seal fits between mating parts to create a tight barrier that helps prevent leaks and rattling. Replacing a worn or missing seal restores proper sealing and helps keep your appliance running quietly. What it does:

• Creates a compliant gasket between components to limit air or moisture passage
• Helps dampen vibration and reduce rattling/buzzing where parts meet
• Helps maintain proper airflow or fluid routing as designed
• Typical symptoms include leaks, condensation/frost near a joint, or new vibration noises

• One foam seal

• Disconnect power; turn off the water supply before service
• Note the original seal's routing/orientation before removal
• Clean and dry all mating surfaces; remove old foam and residue
• Install without stretching or over-compressing; ensure even contact with no gaps

Specs: 10-16 x 1/2 inch.

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.

• Interrupts line voltage when excessive current or a short circuit is detected
• Typical symptoms: unit completely dead, no display or interior lights, won't start or run
• Fuse tests open/no continuity with a multimeter when blown
• A blown fuse often points to another fault that must be addressed

• Disconnect power at the breaker/unplug before servicing; microwaves contain high-voltage parts that can retain a dangerous charge even when unplugged
• Replace only with the same type and rating as the original fuse
• Ensure the fuse seats firmly in its holders; do not bypass or jumper a fuse

This factory replacement screw secures panels, brackets, and covers in your appliance. Replacing missing or stripped hardware restores a solid fit, reduces vibration and rattles, and keeps components properly aligned during everyday use. What it does:
