Lmv2031st /00 Parts

The Locker is an OEM replacement part for LG microwaves. It is a metal hook located on the side of the microwave door that securely fastens the gasket and seals when closed. The door hook ensures a tight compressive fit of the door gasket all around the perimeter of the door opening. 

Symptoms of a bad door hook include:

• Gaps appearing around the door seal allowing steam or heat to escape  
• The door not sitting flush and securely closed
• Risk of accidental opening during a cooking cycle
• Reduced heating efficiency 

Causes tend to be normal wear over time, like dulling or bending of the thin metal hook. Impact or over-tightening could potentially damage or deform the hook.

This part is also compatible with Sears/Kenmore microwaves.

The Choke Cover is an OEM part for LG microwaves. This is a protective shield that covers the microwave’s internal components, preventing interference and ensuring the safe operation of the microwave.  

Causes of a bad choke cover can include physical damage from accidental impacts, deterioration due to prolonged use, or exposure to high temperatures.

Symptoms of a bad choke cover include:

• Unusual noises during microwave operation
• Visible cracks or damage to the cover
• Microwave not heating food properly
• Sparks or arcing inside the microwave

This OEM LG part is also compatible with some Kenmore models.

This microwave turntable assembly supports and rotates the glass tray so food heats more evenly. Replacing a damaged turntable restores smooth, stable rotation and reliable heating performance.

• Supports dishes on the glass tray and rotates them during cooking
• Engages the drive coupler to help promote more uniform heating
• Replaces a cracked, chipped, or missing turntable assembly
• Can help address wobbling, scraping noises, or failure to turn when the tray/support are damaged

• Disconnect power to the microwave before servicing
• Remove the old tray; clean the turntable track of debris
• If your model uses a roller ring, place it on the track, then seat the tray on the center coupler; ensure it sits flat and spins freely
• Do not operate the microwave without the turntable properly installed; inspect the drive coupler and turntable motor

The Halogen Lamp is an OEM part for LG microwaves. This lamp is designed to provide illumination underneath or inside the select microwaves, allowing for better visibility inside the cavity or the cooking space below the microwave. 

Causes of a bad part can include the lamp reaching the end of its lifespan due to normal use, electrical issues causing premature burnout, or physical damage from impact or exposure to heat.

Symptoms of a bad Halogen Lamp include:

• Dimming or flickering of the lighting
• Complete failure of the light to turn on
• Visible damage or burn marks on the lamp itself

This OEM LG part is also compatible with some Kenmore models.

The Thermostat is an OEM part for LG microwaves. This part monitors and regulates the temperature within the appliance. The thermostat ensures that the microwave does not overheat, automatically shutting off the power if the internal temperature exceeds safe levels. This preventive measure helps to avoid damage to the microwave and potential safety hazards in the kitchen. 

Causes of a bad thermostat can range from normal wear and tear, which may cause the component to lose its calibration over time, to overheating incidents that permanently damage its sensitivity.

Symptoms of a bad Microwave Thermostat include:

• The microwave unexpectedly turning off during use
• The microwave failing to start
• Inconsistent cooking temperatures or unevenly cooked food

This OEM LG part is also compatible with some Kenmore models.

This rivet assembly fastens panels, brackets, or covers inside the microwave cabinet. Replacing a damaged or missing fastener restores a tight fit, reduces vibration noise, and keeps mounted components properly aligned.

• Secures panels, brackets, or covers to the cabinet for a stable fit

• If servicing a microwave, access only the lamp area per your model instructions; do not open the cabinet—internal components can retain high voltage

This humidity sensor assembly monitors moisture inside the microwave cavity during Sensor Cook and Reheat cycles, allowing the control to automatically adjust time and power. Replacing a failed sensor can restore accurate, reliable sensor-based cooking performance. What it does:

• Detects steam/humidity in the cavity for auto-sensing cook and reheat programs
• Sends feedback to the control board to adjust power levels and cook time
• Failure symptoms include sensor cook not starting, stopping early, "sensor" error messages, or inconsistent results on auto settings

• One humidity sensor assembly

• Unplug the appliance before service; microwaves contain a high-voltage capacitor that can retain a dangerous charge
• Handle the sensor face carefully and keep it clean; route and secure the wire harness as originally

This turntable coupler connects the microwave's turntable motor to the glass tray, rotating it for even, consistent heating. Replace a worn or cracked hub to restore smooth tray motion and reduce noise during cooking.

• Remove the glass tray and roller ring; lift the old coupler straight up from the motor shaft (some models may require access from below per instructions)
• Align the new coupler with the keyed motor shaft and press it fully into place
• Reinstall the roller ring and tray; verify smooth, centered rotation

Stirrer fan cover that protects and secures the microwave's stirrer fan assembly, helping keep food debris out and the rotating stirrer operating smoothly to reduce noise and maintain consistent performance. What it does:

• Encloses and shields the stirrer fan assembly from food particles and foreign objects.
• Keeps the stirrer properly positioned so the fan and stirring mechanism can rotate without interference.
• Helps limit vibration and rattling caused by a loose or damaged cover.
• Visible cracks or breaks in the cover can lead to noisy operation, poor stirring action, or intermittent fan contact.

• Disconnect power before servicing the appliance to avoid shock or injury.
• Replacement requires removal of the microwave outer cabinet and access to the stirrer/fan area; retain all mounting screws and hardware.
• Inspect surrounding parts when replacing the cover; do not operate the appliance with a cracked or missing cover.
• Use the correct part number to ensure fit and function.

This part is the base for the small simmer burner on gas cooktops. It supports the burner cap and channels gas to the flame ports to promote consistent ignition and an even, stable flame. What it does

• Serves as the burner base for the auxiliary/simmer position

• Routes gas from the orifice to the burner ports
• Common symptoms include weak or uneven flames, difficulty lighting with a known-good spark, or a cap that won't sit flat

• One auxiliary burner holder

• Disconnect power and shut off the gas supply before servicing
• Remove the grate and burner cap; take out mounting screws and lift off the old holder
• Transfer/reuse the orifice, igniter electrode, gasket, and hardware as applicable; seat the new holder evenly and tighten fasteners without over-torquing
• Restore gas and power; verify proper ignition and flame

This door interlock micro switch is part of the microwave's latch assembly. It detects when the door is fully closed so the oven only runs when latched, helping restore safe, consistent start/stop operation.

• Helps resolve "won't start" complaints or stopping when the door is jostled
• Often fixes the need to press or lift the door to keep the unit running

• Unplug the microwave before servicing; high-voltage components can retain a dangerous charge.
• Access the interlock/latch bracket behind the control panel; note switch orientation and terminal labels (COM, NO/NC).
• Transfer wires to the new switch, secure it in the bracket, and ensure the actuator aligns with the door latch.
• Reassemble and test with a cup of water to ensure proper start/stop operation.

This customized nut is a small fastener used to secure components inside an appliance. Replacing a stripped, rusted, or missing nut restores a tight hold, reduces vibration, and helps keep panels and brackets properly aligned.

• Threads onto a matching screw or bolt to clamp parts together
• Maintains alignment of panels, brackets, and internal assemblies
• Helps prevent vibration, looseness, and rattling during operation
• Common failure signs: missing hardware, stripped threads, or components that won't stay tight
