This turntable coupler connects the microwave's turntable motor to the glass tray to drive smooth rotation during cooking. Replacing a worn coupler restores even heating and prevents the tray from slipping, stalling, or wobbling. What it does:

• Transfers rotation from the turntable motor to the glass tray
• Centers and supports the tray for stable, even spinning
• When worn or cracked, may cause the turntable not to turn, slip, wobble, or click/grind at the center hub
• Helps restore consistent heating by ensuring proper tray movement

• 1 turntable coupler

• Disconnect power by unplugging the microwave or switching off the breaker before service
• Remove the glass tray and roller ring; lift the old coupler straight up off the motor shaft
• Align the new coupler with the shaft and press firmly until fully seated

This hood damper assembly opens to allow exhaust airflow and closes to help block outside drafts and odors when the fan is off. It restores proper venting and prevents back-drafts in over-the-range hoods and microwaves. What it does:

• Opens with the vent fan to let cooking smoke and steam exit the home.
• Closes when the fan is off to reduce backdrafts, outside air, and odors.
• A faulty or stuck damper can cause reduced airflow, rattling noises, or air blowing back into the kitchen.
• Works as the moving flap between the appliance exhaust and the ductwork to control airflow direction.

• Disconnect power to the appliance (unplug or shut off the circuit breaker) before servicing.
• Access typically requires removing the hood or microwave grille/cover; keep track of screws and mounting hardware.
• Basic hand tools (screwdrivers, possibly a nut driver) are usually sufficient; handle the damper flap gently to avoid bending.
• After installation, restore power and run the fan to ensure the damper opens and closes smoothly.

This 50-watt halogen lamp restores bright, reliable lighting in your appliance. Replace a burned-out bulb to see clearly while cooking and checking food progress, keeping the cavity or cooktop area illuminated as designed.

• Provides focused illumination for the interior cavity or cooktop/task lighting
• Restores light when the door opens or the light pad/switch is used
• Common symptoms: no light, dim or flickering light, or darkened/burned-out bulb
• Using the correct 50-watt halogen rating helps protect the socket and wiring

• Disconnect power (unplug or switch off the breaker) before replacing the lamp
• Allow the lamp and surrounding area to cool completely
• Do not touch the glass; handle with clean gloves or a tissue to avoid oil contamination

This temperature-control thermostat senses compartment heat with a capillary bulb and cycles the heating circuit to maintain your set temperature. Replacing a worn thermostat restores more consistent performance and helps correct underheating, overheating, and erratic temperature swings.

• Regulates heat to match the temperature you set
• Senses temperature via an integral capillary tube and sensor bulb
• Opens and closes contacts to control the heating element or burner
• Failure symptoms can include long warm-up, inaccurate temps, overheating, or uneven results

• Disconnect power and, if applicable, shut off gas; allow the unit to cool completely.
• Handle the capillary tube carefully—do not kink, crease, or cut it.
• Route the sensor bulb and tubing through original clips and path for accurate sensing.
• After installation, perform temperature calibration per service instructions if required.

This gas sensor monitors moisture levels during sensor-cook cycles so the control can adjust time and power for consistent results. Replacing a failed sensor restores reliable sensor-cook performance. What it does:

• Detects steam/vapor inside the cavity and sends feedback to the control board
• Helps the appliance automatically set or adjust cooking time on sensor settings
• Failure symptoms can include sensor-cook not starting, stopping early, or running too long
• May trigger "Sensor" or general error messages related to sensor-cook functions

• Disconnect power before servicing; if working on a microwave, discharge the high-voltage capacitor
• Access is typically behind the control panel or air channel; avoid touching/contaminating the sensing surface
• Transfer any mounting clips/brackets and ensure the wiring connector is fully seated
• After installation, run a simple sensor-cook test to confirm operation

This control panel assembly is the front user interface for your appliance, letting you select settings and start cycles. Replace a cracked or unresponsive panel to restore dependable button response and a clean, factory look.

• Provides the front control interface used to set functions and start/stop operation
• Replaces panels that are cracked, faded, or misaligned
• Restores proper fit and support for user interface components

• Disconnect power at the breaker before servicing; allow any capacitors to discharge
• Remove screws/trim securing the panel and support it to protect attached wiring
• Carefully release ribbon cables/connectors; avoid creasing or pulling on the traces
• Transfer any reusable hardware as needed and test operation before final reassembly

This glass light cover shields and diffuses the cooktop light, protecting the bulb from heat, grease, and splatter while maintaining clear, even illumination over your cooking surface.

• Covers and protects the cooktop light bulb
• Diffuses light for more even illumination and reduced glare
• Helps keep grease and debris out of the light cavity
• Replace if cracked, missing, discolored, or not staying secured

• Disconnect power to the appliance before servicing and allow the area to cool
• Support the cover while removing any retaining screw(s) or release tabs
• Reuse original hardware/clips as applicable and seat the cover fully
• Restore power and test the light for proper operation

This holder nut assembly secures a component to the appliance frame, restoring proper mounting and reducing vibration or movement. Replace a damaged or missing holder nut to keep connected parts stable and functioning. What it does:

• Secures a component or assembly to the appliance frame or mounting bracket
• Prevents looseness, rattling, and misalignment caused by worn or missing mounting hardware
• Restores a safe, stable connection that helps maintain normal operation
• Matches OEM mounting geometry for a direct replacement when the original nut is damaged

• Disconnect power to the appliance before servicing to avoid shock or injury
• Access the mounting area by removing the appropriate panel or cover per your model's service instructions
• Start threads by hand to avoid cross-threading, then tighten with the correct tool; do not overtighten
• If any fasteners or nearby components are damaged, replace them as needed for a secure installation

This latch body is the plastic housing for the door interlock system. It holds the door switches in position and guides the door latch so the appliance can sense when the door is closed and operate safely.

• Holds and aligns the door interlock switches
• Guides the latch to properly engage/disengage when the door opens and closes
• Can help resolve issues like the unit not starting, running with the door open, or showing door error messages
• Restores proper, safe door sensing and operation
