Mmv5208wws1 Parts

The Diode is an OEM part for Whirlpool microwaves. The diode plays a key role in regulating power flow and protecting other sensitive components from voltage fluctuations.

Causes of a bad microwave diode can include component failure due to age or heat exposure over time. Diodes are also susceptible to electrical damage if exposed to power surges.

Symptoms of a bad diode can include:

• The microwave failing to power on or having intermittent power
• Food not heating up properly or unevenly
• Strange sounds like buzzing or humming emanating from inside
• The door lock mechanism not engaging or release properly
• Repeated tripping of fuses or circuit breakers

This genuine OEM Whirlpool part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models.

The Interlock Spring is an OEM part for Whirlpool microwaves. It is located within the door assembly and provides proper tension to assist with smooth opening and closing of the microwave door. The spring allows for controlled movement that facilitates easy access when using the microwave.

Causes of failure could be normal wear and tear over time, damage from rough or forced handling of the door, or failure from excessive use.

Symptoms of a bad microwave spring include:

• Difficulty opening or closing the door
• The door not staying securely closed or popping open on its own
• Excessive vibration or noise related to door operation

This is a genuine Whirlpool OEM replacement this part is also compatible with Maytag, Jenn-Air, and some Kenmore models.

• Position the new grille and secure with the original screws; avoid overtightening
• Use caution around sharp edges; wear cut-resistant gloves if needed

The Reflector is an OEM part for Whirlpool microwaves. It is located inside the microwave cavity behind the waveguide and works to redirect electromagnetic waves for more even cooking.  

Symptoms of a damaged reflector include:

• Inconsistent or incomplete heating of foods during cooking
• Hot and cold spots forming within the microwave cavity
• Lower overall power output from the microwave

Causes of reflector damage can be cracking or pitting of the reflective aluminum surface over multiple heating cycles. Impact incidents from user error may also damage its shape.

This OEM Whirlpool replacement assists in delivering uniform energy distribution for optimal microwave performance. This part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, and Roper microwave models.

Color: Black

Comes with 4 supports. Color: chrome.

This support secures and stabilizes a mating component inside your appliance, helping restore proper alignment and fit. Replace a damaged or missing support to stop wobble, sagging, or misalignment.

• Provides structural backing to keep the attached part level and in place
• Helps eliminate rattling, shifting, or uneven gaps
• Replace if cracked, deformed, or missing
• Symptoms can include loose or sagging parts, poor alignment, or difficulty reinstalling shelves/panels

• Disconnect power (and shut off water, if applicable) before service
• Remove the affected shelf/drawer/panel to access the support
• Transfer and reuse any model-specific fasteners or clips
• Seat the new support fully and check alignment before reassembly

This magnetron capacitor is the microwave high-voltage capacitor that helps supply the magnetron with the pulse of energy needed to produce heat. Replacing a failing capacitor restores normal heating performance and reduces arcing or loud humming. What it does

• Stores and releases the high-voltage pulse required by the magnetron so the microwave can generate heat.
• Prevents unstable magnetron operation that can cause weak or no heating.
• Common symptoms of a failing capacitor: oven runs but doesn't heat, intermittent heating, loud buzzing/humming, or visible arcing inside the cavity.
• A failed capacitor can also cause blown internal fuses or tripped circuits.

• One capacitor.

• Disconnect power and verify the appliance is completely de-energized before servicing.
• Capacitors can hold dangerous charge; discharge the capacitor safely with an insulated tool.
• Use the exact replacement part and follow the appliance service manual for routing and connections.

Color: White

This support is a factory mounting piece that secures and aligns its mating component inside the appliance. Replacing a worn or broken support restores proper fit, stability, and smooth operation of the associated assembly.

• Provides structural support and accurate positioning for the designated part
• Helps prevent sagging, looseness, and vibration
• Maintains alignment so components latch/seat correctly
• Typical failure signs: cracked or missing support, rattling, misalignment, or parts that won't stay in place

• Disconnect power before servicing; also shut off the water supply
• Note the original orientation; transfer any screws, clips, or spacers from the old support
• Install without overtightening to avoid damage; secure fit of the supported component after installation

This factory support stabilizes and positions its mating assembly so it stays secure and aligned during use. Replacing a worn or broken support helps restore proper fit and prevents looseness or shifting that can affect performance. What it does
