• Remove door or access panel as required for your model; follow manufacturer service instructions
• Use basic hand tools; avoid forcing plastic tabs or connectors

This capacitor stores and releases electrical energy to help an AC motor start and run smoothly. Replacing a weak or failed capacitor can restore reliable motor operation and reduce humming, no-start, or stall conditions.

• Provides the phase shift and starting torque an induction motor needs to start
• Helps the motor reach and maintain proper speed under load
• Common symptoms of a failing capacitor: motor hums but won't start, intermittent starts, slow or stalled rotation, or frequent thermal trips
• Visible clues may include a swollen case or leaking residue

• Disconnect power to the appliance before servicing; verify no voltage is present
• Capacitors can retain a charge—discharge safely before handling
• Note wire positions; move leads to the new capacitor one at a time and ensure snug terminal fit
• Reuse the original bracket/clip if applicable and secure the capacitor to prevent vibration

This grill vent is the front vent trim that channels heat and smoke away from the cooktop and oven cavity, keeping internal components protected and helping your range vent properly during broiling and baking. What it does:

• Directs exhaust and heat away from the oven cavity to help maintain proper airflow.
• Protects underlying components and internal wiring from direct heat and food debris.
• Replacing a damaged vent can reduce smoke buildup and improve overall oven performance.

• Disconnect power to the appliance (and gas if applicable) before starting any work.
• Use care handling edges; trim pieces can be sharp.
• Removal/installation typically involves removing fasteners or clips—keep hardware handy for reassembly.

The Interlock is an OEM component specifically designed for Whirlpool microwaves. Located inside the door assembly, the interlock provides a safety function that prevents microwave energy from emitting when the door is opened. 

Composed of a magnet and lever switch beneath a metal shield, the interlock uses electromagnetic principles to immediately turn off microwave power if the door is opened during a cook cycle. This ensures safe access to hot food inside the cavity.

Causes of a bad interlock include worn contacts or weakening of the magnetic mechanism from sustained use over time. Physical damage or debris interfering with smooth lever operation are also possible causes.

Symptoms of a bad interlock include: 

• Microwave emission even with door slightly ajar  
• Faulty “door open” detection during cooking
• Inability to start new cycles until manually reset

This OEM part fits kitchen microwaves from Whirlpool, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, and select Kenmore models.

• Replaces worn or damaged drum outer wrap that can cause rubbing or scraping noises
• Provides a smooth, protective surface that helps prevent clothes from catching on rough drum edges
• Helps maintain proper drum clearance and airflow for consistent drying performance
• Restores the dryer's appearance with a black, coated finish

• Disconnect power (and gas supply if applicable) before beginning any repair
• Access the drum per the dryer's service instructions; remove the drum to replace the outer wrapping
• Handle edges carefully and use gloves to avoid cuts; align the wrap evenly before securing

This thermistor is a refrigerator temperature sensor that monitors internal air temperature so the control board can regulate cooling. Replaces a failed sensor to help restore accurate temperature readings and more consistent cooling. What it does:

• Senses internal refrigerator temperature and sends a variable resistance signal to the control board
