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.

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.

The Mounting Nut Assembly is an OEM replacement part for Whirlpool microwaves. It securely fastens the microwave to its mounting bracket, ensuring stability and safety during operation. It provides a secure and reliable connection, preventing the microwave from shifting or falling during use.

A bad mounting nut can occur due to various reasons, such as wear and tear, improper installation, or accidental damage. If you notice symptoms such as the microwave becoming loose or wobbly, or if the mounting nut is missing or damaged, it may be time to replace it.

Symptoms of a bad microwave installation mounting nut include:

• Microwave becoming loose or wobbly
• Missing or damaged mounting nut

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

Note: This coupler is compatible with the glass tray that has the 3 triangles that engage the coupler. In some cases, the factory used a tray that has 3 half-circles. For that coupler, use part# W10435116.

The support is an OEM part for Whirlpool microwaves. This motor coupler works to connect the microwave's motor to the turntable shaft, transferring power from the motor to turn the turntable.
