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.

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:

• 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.

This outer wrapping assembly is the coated black outer layer that fits around the dryer drum to protect the drum and improve airflow. It restores proper drum coverage and helps reduce rubbing, noise, and fabric snags. What it does:
