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.

The Filter is an OEM part for Whirlpool microwaves. This part filters grease and other particles from the air as it is vented out of the microwave, particularly when the microwave is used in conjunction with a range. This helps to maintain a clean kitchen environment and prevents grease buildup on the microwave’s internal components.

Causes of a bad filter can include accumulation of grease and food particles over time, exposure to high heat, or general wear and tear.  

Symptoms of a bad filter include:

• Reduced ventilation efficiency
• Excessive smoke or steam lingering in the kitchen
• Grease buildup on kitchen surfaces near the microwave
• Unusual odors during microwave operation

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

The Screw is an OEM part for Whirlpool appliances. This specific screw is used in various locations within Whirlpool appliances, securing components and ensuring the stability and proper alignment of parts. It is designed to fit precisely and maintain a firm hold, contributing to the overall functionality and safety of the appliance.

Over time, screws can become worn or stripped due to regular use, corrosion, or over-tightening. 

Causes of a bad screw include wear and tear, exposure to moisture leading to rust, and over-tightening which can strip the threads.

Symptoms of a bad screw include:

• Loose or wobbly components
• Misalignment of parts
• Noise due to vibrating or loose parts
• Difficulty in securing or removing the screw

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

Replace a damaged rack to restore safe, stable support and smooth sliding in the appliance. A new rack brings back full capacity and dependable performance when the original is bent, rusted, or missing.

• Provides a sturdy, level surface to hold items securely during operation
• Slides on existing rails for easy loading and unloading
• Replaces racks that are bent, broken, rusting, or missing
• Helps prevent items from tipping, rattling, or shifting

• Disconnect power and allow any hot surfaces to cool before servicing
• Pull the old rack straight out; retain and transfer any reusable hardware if required
• Align the new rack with the rails and slide it in until fully seated
• Verify smooth travel and proper fit before returning the appliance to service

Restore your microwave's two-level cooking capability. This removable meal rack sits above the turntable to support a second layer of dishes during approved modes, replacing a lost or damaged rack so food heats and circulates as intended.

• Creates a second level for multi-item cooking when your model supports rack use
• Positions food for proper airflow during convection, grill, or combination cycles
• Direct replacement for an original rack that is missing, bent, or corroded
• Addresses wobbling or arcing that can occur with a damaged or improperly positioned rack

• Use only in models designed for a rack; your owner's manual for approved modes and placement
• Set the rack on the designated supports and ensure it does not contact the cavity walls
• Remove the rack for standard microwave-only cycles if your manual instructs
• Allow the oven to cool before handling the rack

This turntable support ring sits under the microwave's glass tray and guides smooth rotation for even heating. Replacing a worn or warped ring restores stable, quiet turning and helps eliminate uneven cooking results. What it does:

• Supports the glass turntable and rides on rollers to enable smooth rotation
• Helps keep the tray level for consistent, even cooking
• Reduces friction and scraping noises beneath the tray
• Failure symptoms can include the tray not turning, wobbling, scraping/clicking sounds, or uneven heating

• 1 turntable support ring

• Disconnect power to the microwave before servicing
• Remove the glass tray; lift out the old support ring
• Clean the oven floor/roller track; seat the new ring with rollers facing up and centered on the drive coupler
• Reinstall the glass tray and verify smooth rotation

The Nut is an OEM part for Whirlpool microwaves. It helps secure various parts within the microwave, ensuring proper assembly and function. It is used to fasten items, keeping them securely in place during use.

A bad microwave nut can occur due to wear and tear over time or accidental damage. If the nut becomes loose, stripped, or misplaced, it can lead to instability and compromise affected parts.

Symptoms of a bad microwave nut include:

• Loose or wobbly parts.
• Difficulty in operating the microwave.
• Unusual noises or vibrations during use.

This OEM Whirlpool part can also be used on Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore/Sears brand appliances.

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.

This electrical safety fuse opens the circuit when a short or overcurrent occurs. Replacing a blown fuse can help restore power after the root cause is corrected, protecting controls and wiring from further damage.

• Protects the appliance by interrupting power during overcurrent or short-circuit events
• When open/blown, the appliance may be completely unresponsive
• Helps prevent damage to control boards and wiring during faults
• Often fails after a component shorts or a power surge occurs

• Disconnect power to the appliance before servicing
• Use a multimeter to test the fuse for continuity; replace only if open
• Install a fuse with the exact same rating and form factor as the original
• If the new fuse blows again, stop and diagnose the underlying fault; consider service for high-voltage systems
