Mh117ox5b-6 Parts

This mounting plate anchors the back of an over-the-range microwave to the wall studs, providing the primary support for installation. Replace a bent, damaged, or missing plate to restore a safe, level, and secure mount.

• Provides the rear-wall anchor point the microwave hangs on during installation
• Helps keep the unit level and securely supported under normal use
• Enables proper alignment so top mounting hardware can fasten correctly
• Typical symptoms: can't hang or align the microwave, unit sags/tilts, rear hooks won't engage, plate is bent or corroded

• Disconnect power before beginning
• Use two people to remove/hang the microwave for safety
• Locate wall studs, level the plate, and fasten per your model's installation instructions with the correct hardware
• The microwave's rear tabs fully engage the plate before final tightening

This magnetron is the microwave's high-voltage tube that generates the microwaves responsible for heating food. Use it as a direct replacement when your microwave powers on but no longer heats properly. What it does:

• Generates the microwave energy that heats and cooks food inside the oven cavity.
• A failing magnetron commonly causes the oven to run but not heat; other signs can include weak or uneven heating.
• Can produce unusual humming, arcing or sparking inside the cavity, or a burning smell when failing.
• Works as part of the high-voltage circuit; other components affect overall function.

• Disconnect power and unplug the appliance before servicing; the high-voltage capacitor must be safely discharged.
• Handle the magnetron carefully by the mounting flange—avoid touching the ceramic antenna or terminals.
• Verify exact part number compatibility with your model before ordering; some repairs require replacing other high-voltage components.

This fixed-temperature thermostat is a temperature-sensing safety switch that opens at a set limit to help prevent overheating and protect heating systems. Use it to restore proper thermal cutoff control in affected appliances. What it does:

• Senses internal temperature and opens the circuit when a set limit is reached to stop heating
• Acts as a high-limit/thermal cutoff to prevent overheating and potential damage
• Can restore normal heating control when a faulty limiter causes shutdowns or safety trips
• Common symptom link: appliance heater runs erratically, will not heat, or heats continuously and may trip safety circuits

• One fixed-temperature thermostat

• Disconnect power to the appliance before inspecting or replacing the thermostat
• Handle and test with care; verify continuity with a multimeter to confirm failure before replacing
• Follow the appliance service manual and wiring diagrams for correct location and wiring

This capacitor stores and releases electrical energy to help an AC motor start and run smoothly. Replacing a weak or failed capacitor can restore reliable motor operation and reduce humming, no-start, or stall conditions.

• Provides the phase shift and starting torque an induction motor needs to start
• Helps the motor reach and maintain proper speed under load
• Common symptoms of a failing capacitor: motor hums but won't start, intermittent starts, slow or stalled rotation, or frequent thermal trips
• Visible clues may include a swollen case or leaking residue

• Disconnect power to the appliance before servicing; verify no voltage is present
• Capacitors can retain a charge—discharge safely before handling
• Note wire positions; move leads to the new capacitor one at a time and ensure snug terminal fit
• Reuse the original bracket/clip if applicable and secure the capacitor to prevent vibration

This piston assembly restores the moving piston used in the appliance's fluid/valve system to help recover proper dispensing and motion. It replaces a worn or damaged piston so the affected function can operate as intended. What it does:
