High-voltage magnetron that generates microwave energy to heat food in the oven cavity. Replacing a failed magnetron restores heating when the microwave runs but food doesn't warm. What it does:

• Converts high-voltage power into microwave energy to heat food in the oven cavity.
• Commonly needed when the microwave motor and lights run but the unit fails to heat.
• A failing magnetron can cause unusual noises, intermittent heating, or a burning odor.
• Critical high-voltage component — faults can create arcing or other dangerous conditions.

• Disconnect power and unplug the appliance before accessing the microwave cavity.
• High-voltage capacitor may retain a lethal charge—do not attempt capacitor discharge unless qualified.
• Handle the magnetron by the housing, avoid touching ceramic antenna or terminals.

This replacement cover is a protective panel used in the microwave assembly. It shields internal components from grease and debris and restores a clean, secure barrier when the original cover is cracked, burned, or missing.

• Shields internal components from food splatter, steam, and grease
• Helps maintain proper airflow and safe operation inside the cavity
• Common signs it's needed: cover is warped, cracked, scorched, loose, or missing
• Reduces arcing/sparking or buzzing caused by a damaged or contaminated cover

• Disconnect power before servicing; allow hot surfaces to cool
• Remove screws or release tabs to take off the damaged cover; reuse existing hardware if applicable
• Clean surrounding area to remove grease or debris, then seat the new cover fully and secure without overtightening
• For microwaves, internal high voltage can remain even when unplugged.

This latch hook engages the door catch/lock on your appliance to keep the door securely closed. Replacing a worn or broken hook restores proper latching so cycles can start and run reliably. What it does:

• Engages the mating latch/strike to hold the door shut
• Ensures the door switch/lock is satisfied so the appliance can operate
• Helps prevent the door from popping open during use
• Common symptoms: door won't stay closed, must push/slam to start, "door open" errors, intermittent stopping

• 1 latch hook

• Disconnect electrical power before servicing; allow any hot surfaces to cool
• Wear cut-resistant gloves; edges and panels can be sharp
• Transfer and reuse original screws/fasteners if not supplied
• After installation, verify door alignment and latch engagement; inspect the mating strike/lock if the issue persists

Compressor start capacitor that helps the refrigerator compressor start reliably so the appliance can maintain proper cooling. Replace a weak or failed capacitor to reduce hard-starting, excessive humming, or loss of cooling. What it does:

• Provides the starting boost the compressor needs to reach running speed.
• Commonly linked to symptoms like compressor humming but not starting, warm refrigerator, or frequent on/off cycling.
• Works with the compressor start circuit; a failed capacitor can prevent the compressor from starting.
• Visible damage, leakage, or failed electrical tests indicate replacement is needed.

• Disconnect power to the appliance before accessing the capacitor.
• Discharge the capacitor before touching terminals to avoid shock.
• Note wire locations or photograph connections before removal; reconnect wires exactly.

This mounting bracket secures internal panels or assemblies to the appliance, restoring proper alignment and reducing movement. A direct-replacement bracket helps stop rattling, keeps parts in place, and supports reliable operation. What it does

• Secures panels, trim, or internal components to the cabinet to maintain proper fit and alignment.
• Prevents vibration and rattling that can occur when brackets are bent, cracked, or missing.
• Restores stable mounting for doors, panels, or assemblies so parts operate smoothly.
• Common symptom: loose or misaligned panels, persistent noise, or visible bracket damage.

• Disconnect power (unplug or shut off circuit) before starting any repair.
• Remove outer panels or trim as needed to access the bracket; keep track of fasteners.
• Inspect surrounding parts and reuse original screws if undamaged; replace hardware if stripped or corroded.

This replacement motor restores the rotation your appliance relies on to move air or drive a mechanism, bringing normal operation and performance back when the original motor has failed or become noisy. What it does:

• Converts electrical power into controlled shaft rotation to drive the associated component
• A failing motor may cause no movement, intermittent operation, or unusual humming/grinding noises
• Can contribute to reduced performance if the driven part doesn't run as intended
• May present with overheating smell or visible signs of wear on the old unit

• One motor

• Disconnect the appliance from power before servicing
• Note wire locations and connector orientation; transfer any brackets, grommets, or hardware from the old motor
• Handle sheet-metal edges carefully; wear cut-resistant gloves
• After installation, confirm the shaft spins freely by hand before restoring power and testing

This switch/fuse kit replaces a worn or failed control switch and associated fuse to restore reliable power control. It provides the exact components needed to address common start and power interruptions. What it does:

• Replaces a faulty control switch to restore on/off or cycle control
• Replaces the protective fuse to stop power loss from a blown fuse
• Helps resolve no-start, intermittent power, or control failures
• Restores proper electrical continuity for safe operation

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting any work
• Handle electrical components carefully and avoid metal contact with terminals
• Verify correct part orientation and secure all connections per OEM guidance

A replacement tension spring used to restore normal movement and positioning for the affected appliance component. Replaces a worn or broken spring to help parts return to their intended position and reduce loose or uneven operation. What it does:

• Provides tension or counter-force for a door, drawer or linkage so the part moves smoothly and returns to position.
• Restores alignment and prevents sagging, slamming, or parts that don't stay in place.
• Reduces noise and uneven movement caused by a stretched or broken spring.
• Useful when a worn spring causes intermittent operation or poor component response.

• Disconnect power and water before servicing. Wear eye protection and gloves — springs can release suddenly.
• Inspect mounting points, clips and anchors; replace any damaged hardware to ensure proper function.
• Use appropriate tools (needle-nose pliers, spring hook) and follow OEM instructions for safe installation.

This motor start/run capacitor helps the compressor and fan motors start and run reliably, restoring normal cooling performance when a failing capacitor causes hard starts or intermittent motor operation. A direct-replacement component for affected units. What it does:

• Provides the electrical phase shift and stored energy needed for compressor and fan motor startup.
• Helps prevent slow starts, humming, or motors that won't start reliably.
• Restores stable motor operation and can reduce overheating or tripping caused by a weak capacitor.
• Works as a replacement for the same OEM-design capacitor in compatible refrigerators and freezers.

• One replacement capacitor (single unit)

• Disconnect power to the appliance before inspecting or replacing the capacitor to avoid shock.
• Verify capacitor is fully discharged before handling; use insulated tools and follow safety procedures.
• Match the capacitor's mounting and terminal type to the existing part for correct fit and connection.
