This door latch secures the appliance door and signals the control that it's safely closed. Replacing a worn or broken latch restores reliable door closure and proper cycle operation. What it does:

• Holds the door closed and aligned during use
• Engages the door strike to complete the door/lock switch circuit
• Resolve issues such as: door won't latch or pops open; cycles won't start; intermittent "door open" messages; needing to press/hold the door to run

• One door latch

• Disconnect power before servicing
• Access is typically from the door/front panel; note screw locations and latch orientation
• Transfer any mounting hardware from the original latch if needed
• After installation, verify smooth latch engagement with the strike and run a test cycle

This replacement jack mounts inside the oven cavity and provides the receptacle for the food temperature probe. It restores a dependable connection so the control can monitor internal food temperature and operate probe-cook features as intended.

• Provides the in-oven receptacle for the food/meat temperature probe
• Carries the probe's signal to the control during probe-cook cycles
• Helps resolve issues where the control does not recognize a probe or the probe feature won't run
• Replaces a jack that is damaged, corroded, or loose

• Disconnect power at the breaker and allow the oven to cool completely
• Access from inside the oven; remove the mounting screw(s) and carefully pull the jack to reach the wire harness
• Transfer/connect the harness and seat any gasket or insulation to maintain the oven cavity seal
• Do not overtighten fasteners; avoid pinching or damaging wires and insulation

This time-delay fuse protects the appliance's power circuit by opening when current exceeds a safe level while tolerating brief inrush current. Replacing a blown fuse can help restore power once the root cause is corrected. What it does:

• Protects the line and control circuits from shorts and overloads
• Time-delay design helps prevent nuisance opening during startup surges
• When open, the unit will be completely dead—no display, lights, or response
• Repeatedly opening usually indicates an unresolved electrical fault that needs diagnosis

• 1 time-delay fuse

• Disconnect power at the breaker before servicing; some appliances can retain dangerous high voltage
• Replace only with the same type and rating specified by the manufacturer
• Inspect the fuse holder and wiring for heat damage or loose connections before reassembly
• If the new fuse opens immediately, stop and diagnose the underlying cause; never bypass or upsize a fuse

This release rod links the push-button to the latch mechanism so the microwave door opens when pressed. Replacing a bent or broken rod restores smooth, consistent door release and proper latch operation.

• Transfers motion from the door-open button to the latch levers to release the door catch
• Helps ensure the door opens promptly when the button is pressed
• Common symptoms: button does nothing or feels loose, door hard to open, intermittent opening
• Often fails due to wear, misalignment, or a dislodged linkage

• Disconnect power; microwaves contain a high-voltage capacitor that can retain a dangerous charge
• Remove the upper grille and control panel to access the latch/button linkage
• Note the rod's routing and any clips; transfer reusable hardware and match original orientation
• After reassembly, verify door switch alignment and test for smooth opening before use

This part is a cooling fan assembly that is made for wall ovens. The primary function of this part is to circulate the air throughout the oven control area. This keeps the controls, wiring, and other components cool while the oven is in use.In the vent that the control panel itself becomes hot while the oven is running, it is likely that the cooling fan is not working. Some users report a loud rattling noise when this part has gone bad. Be sure to let the oven cool completely before replacing this part. Disconnect the wall oven from its power source before attempting to replace this part. Allow the appliance plenty of time to cool down before starting. Wear work gloves for safety.This specific cooling fan assembly is compatible with wall ovens that are manufactured by the Whirlpool brand, including Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, and Roper. It is sold individually and is sourced from the manufacturer.

• Steps down line voltage to the lower voltage used by the light circuit
• Supports consistent, reliable interior lighting
• A failed transformer can leave the light inoperative even with a good bulb
• Intermittent operation or flickering can indicate a weakening transformer

• Disconnect power at the breaker or unplug the unit before servicing
• Access and mounting location vary by model; note wiring and orientation before removal
• Move wires one at a time to the matching terminals/leads on the new transformer
• Secure the transformer and route wiring away from hot or moving parts; test light operation before reassembly
