Kitchenaid Koce500ess07 Oven/Microwave Parts

The Fuse is an OEM component for Whirlpool microwaves. As a critical safety device, it protects circuits from power surges or overloads that could damage internal electronics. 

The fuse properly calibrates electrical flow through the appliance, preventing excessive currents from traveling between high and low-voltage systems. Its compact design installs discretely but is easily accessible for replacement when needed. 

Causes for blown fuses include voltage spikes from power outages, faulty door interlocks energizing the magnetron with the door open, or short circuits due to loose wires or water intrusion over time.

Causes of a bad fuse can include:

• Repeatedly blowing when the appliance is in use  
• No power to any microwave functions
• Tripped circuit breakers upon turning on the microwave
• Discoloration or physical damage to the fuse body

Compatible with microwave models from Maytag, Magic Chef, Admiral, and more for consistent, worry-free operation.

• Common replacement signs: cracked, broken or warped vent pieces, visible gaps at the lower vent opening, or excessive heat at the cabinet base.
• Fits as the lower/front vent that mounts beneath the oven cavity.

• Disconnect power (unplug or switch off the breaker) before servicing the appliance.
• Removal of the oven drawer or lower access panel and a few mounting screws is typically required; retain all hardware for reassembly.
• Inspect surrounding tabs, clips, and mounting areas and replace any damaged fasteners for a secure fit.

This block-style fuse holder secures and connects the appliance fuse to the wiring harness, restoring a safe electrical connection and thermal protection. Use it when the original fuse block is cracked, corroded, or no longer holding the fuse securely. What it does:

• Holds and connects the appliance fuse to the wiring harness so the thermal/overload fuse can function.
• Restores reliable electrical contact when the original block is cracked, melted, or corroded.
• Addresses symptoms such as intermittent power, no heat, or appliance not starting when caused by a bad fuse connection.
• Works with the existing fuse and wiring—does not replace the fuse itself.

• Disconnect power to the appliance before inspecting or replacing this part.
• Replace any damaged wiring, connectors, or insulation found during replacement; do not cut corners or bypass thermal safety devices.
