Mmv1680ws1 Parts

The TEMPLATE is an OEM part for LG microwaves. It is the outer casing and control panel covering that defines the microwave's design and aesthetics.  

The causes of a bad template can include cracks, dents, or damage to the outer surface from impacts or normal wear over time. Heat and humidity fluctuations can also cause template materials to degrade.

Symptoms of a bad template include:

• Cracks or breaks in the template material
• Loose, misaligned, or damaged control panel or display  
• Yellowing, warping, or discoloration of plastics
• Openings or gaps that compromise the microwave structure

This genuine OEM LG replacement part restores the microwave's appearance and protects internal components. It is also compatible with some Kenmore and Sears microwaves
 

Microwave overheating or won't start? This fixed-temperature thermostat acts as a safety switch to prevent thermal damage. Straightforward repair.

This is a truss-head tapping screw used to secure trim, panels, and small assemblies on compatible LG appliances. It provides a low-profile, wide-bearing head that helps hold parts flush and resist pull-through. What it does:

• Fastens plastic and sheet-metal components where a self-tapping thread is needed
• Truss head spreads load to prevent damage to soft or thin materials
• Helps secure control panels, brackets, or trim pieces that require a low-profile head
• Common replacement when original mounting screws are missing, stripped, or corroded

• One truss-head tapping screw

• Use the correct screwdriver bit and moderate torque to avoid stripping the screw or workpiece
• Start threading straight and let the screw form threads without forcing at an angle
• Disconnect power and follow appliance-specific service safety procedures before working internally
• Replace any damaged mating threads or clips for a secure fit

Molded wire clip that secures wiring and harnesses to the microwave cabinet. Replace if broken, cracked, or missing to prevent wire rubbing and chafing.

Microwave won't power up or shuts off after seconds? Failed thermostats cause intermittent operation. Test for continuity—straightforward repair.

Microwave not heating but all other functions work? This magnetron thermostat protects against overheating. Easy DIY repair in under an hour.

If your microwave runs but won't heat food, the magnetron has likely failed. This high-voltage tube generates microwave energy. Moderate DIY difficulty.

This holder secures the door lock assembly to the washer, keeping the latch and lock mechanism aligned for reliable door closure and operation. Replaces a worn or broken lock mounting bracket to restore proper door engagement. What it does:

• Mounts and supports the washer door lock assembly to keep the latch aligned
• Holds the lock in place so the door can fully close and lock during cycles
• Common symptoms: door won't latch, door comes loose, washer won't start, or door/lock error codes
• Prevents excessive movement that can damage the lock or striker

• Unplug the appliance and turn off water supply before beginning work
• Basic hand tools (screwdriver, nut driver) are typically required; keep fasteners for reassembly
• Handle edges and the door/lock assembly carefully to avoid damage

If your microwave runs but won't heat, a failed magnetron capacitor may be the cause. This high-voltage component stores energy for the magnetron.

This is a plastic fan blade that attaches to the ventilation motor inside the microwave. It circulates air to cool internal components and, in over-the-range models, helps vent steam and cooking odors. Replace this blade if it is cracked, broken, or wobbling, which can cause excessive noise or reduced ventilation performance.

This thermistor measures temperature changes inside your microwave to control cooking functions and safety systems. It sends temperature readings to the control board to adjust power levels and cooking times. Replace this part if your microwave doesn't heat properly, overheats, or sensor cooking features don't work correctly.

If your microwave won't heat food or makes buzzing sounds, the high voltage capacitor may have failed. This part stores electrical energy for the magnetron.

Replacement mounting screw secures exterior panels, trim, or internal components. Needed when original fastener is missing, stripped, or damaged.
