This support secures and stabilizes a mating component inside your appliance, helping restore proper alignment and fit. Replace a damaged or missing support to stop wobble, sagging, or misalignment.

• Provides structural backing to keep the attached part level and in place
• Helps eliminate rattling, shifting, or uneven gaps
• Replace if cracked, deformed, or missing
• Symptoms can include loose or sagging parts, poor alignment, or difficulty reinstalling shelves/panels

• Disconnect power (and shut off water, if applicable) before service
• Remove the affected shelf/drawer/panel to access the support
• Transfer and reuse any model-specific fasteners or clips
• Seat the new support fully and check alignment before reassembly

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.

This support is a factory mounting piece that secures and aligns its mating component inside the appliance. Replacing a worn or broken support restores proper fit, stability, and smooth operation of the associated assembly.

• Provides structural support and accurate positioning for the designated part
• Helps prevent sagging, looseness, and vibration
• Maintains alignment so components latch/seat correctly
• Typical failure signs: cracked or missing support, rattling, misalignment, or parts that won't stay in place

• Disconnect power before servicing; also shut off the water supply
• Note the original orientation; transfer any screws, clips, or spacers from the old support
• Install without overtightening to avoid damage; secure fit of the supported component after installation

This magnetron is the microwave's high-voltage tube that generates the microwaves responsible for heating food. Use it as a direct replacement when your microwave powers on but no longer heats properly. What it does:

• Generates the microwave energy that heats and cooks food inside the oven cavity.
• A failing magnetron commonly causes the oven to run but not heat; other signs can include weak or uneven heating.
• Can produce unusual humming, arcing or sparking inside the cavity, or a burning smell when failing.
• Works as part of the high-voltage circuit; other components affect overall function.

• Disconnect power and unplug the appliance before servicing; the high-voltage capacitor must be safely discharged.
• Handle the magnetron carefully by the mounting flange—avoid touching the ceramic antenna or terminals.
• Verify exact part number compatibility with your model before ordering; some repairs require replacing other high-voltage components.
