This Faraday cage is the metal cavity shield that surrounds a microwave's cooking chamber to contain microwave energy and protect internal electronics. Replacing a damaged cage helps stop arcing and restores safe, even cooking performance. What it does:

• Shields and contains microwave energy inside the oven cavity to prevent leakage
• Protects internal components and control electronics from stray RF and interference
• Prevents arcing and sparking caused by holes, dents, or damaged shielding
• Helps restore even heating when cavity damage is the root cause of performance issues

• Disconnect power at the breaker before beginning any repair.
• Handle with care—edges may be sharp; use gloves and eye protection.
• Verify alignment and door latch/ seal fit after installation to ensure proper microwave containment.

A 1/2 in. 90° connector used to join the appliance water inlet to the household supply, restoring a secure right-angle connection and helping prevent kinks or strain at the hose junction. What it does:

• Creates a sealed right-angle connection between the appliance water inlet and supply line
• Restores proper water flow when the previous connector is damaged or leaking
• Reduces strain and hose kinking at the inlet fitting
• Commonly replaced to stop visible leaks or water drips at the connection

• Turn off the water supply and disconnect power to the appliance before installing
• Use appropriate thread sealant or tape where required by the appliance manufacturer
• Hand-start threads to avoid cross-threading; tighten with a wrench until snug — do not overtighten

This side trim support bracket secures the decorative trim to the appliance cabinet edge, keeping the door and trim aligned for a clean fit and finish. It's a simple metal/plastic mount used where trim meets the frame. What it does:

• Holds the side trim in place to prevent sagging or misalignment
• Supports proper door and panel fit for even gaps and sealing
• Helps stop trim vibration or rattling during operation
• Can resolve visible trim gaps or a loose/shifted trim piece

• Intended for field replacement; inspect surrounding clips and screws and reuse if serviceable
• Use basic hand tools; support the trim/panel while removing and installing the bracket
• Disconnect power to the appliance before working on panels (safety first)
• If fasteners are missing or damaged, replace them with OEM-recommended hardware

This side cooling duct channels airflow inside the refrigeration compartment to help maintain even temperatures and protect internal components. It's a molded plastic air duct designed for proper airflow routing in compatible units. What it does:

• Directs cold air from the evaporator to cabinet side areas for more uniform cooling
• Prevents air from short-circuiting around internal components
• Helps reduce hot spots that can cause uneven food temperatures
• Commonly replaced when cracked, broken mounting tabs, or when airflow is blocked

• Disconnect power before servicing to avoid shock or injury
• Remove interior panels or shelving as needed to access the duct
• Handle plastic parts gently to avoid cracking mounting tabs during removal or installation
• Secure all fasteners and check seals before restoring power

This rear intake duct routes airflow into the appliance to maintain proper ventilation and component cooling. Replacing a damaged or clogged duct restores designed air movement and helps reduce overheating and noise. What it does:

• Channels air from the rear inlet to internal components for proper ventilation
• Prevents debris from entering sensitive airflow paths
• Helps restore normal fan airflow when the original duct is cracked or blocked
• Can reduce abnormal noises caused by disrupted airflow

• Disconnect power (and water if applicable) before starting any repair
• Handle clips and mounting tabs carefully to avoid breakage; replace damaged fasteners as needed
• After installation, run a test cycle to ensure proper airflow and quiet operation
