Wmh32517at-0 Microwave Parts

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.

• Repair damaged receiving threads before installing the new fastener

This inlet cover protects and conceals the appliance's inlet area, keeping wiring and connections secure and helping prevent debris from entering. It restores a clean, safe inlet opening and supports proper component alignment. What it does:

• Shields the inlet opening and nearby connections from dust and debris
• Holds inlet components in position to reduce movement and wear
• Helps prevent snagging or accidental contact with inlet wiring or fittings
• Visible damage or a loose/misaligned cover can expose connections and lead to leaks or electrical issues

• One inlet cover

• Disconnect power and shut off water supply before beginning work
• Remove the appropriate access panel or trim to reach the inlet area
• Replace cover, securing with the original screws or clips; do not overtighten
• Inspect nearby gaskets, fittings and wiring while replacing the cover

This lamp cover is the replacement lens that protects and diffuses your oven's interior light, restoring even illumination while keeping the bulb shielded from heat and food residue. It helps maintain safe, usable oven lighting. What it does:

• Protects the oven light bulb from splashes, crumbs and direct contact.
• Diffuses the bulb for more even interior illumination.
• Replaces a cracked, cloudy, melted or missing lens that can cause dim or exposed lighting.
• Fits over the lamp housing to restore the oven's normal light appearance and function.

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting and allow the oven to cool completely.
• Handle the cover carefully—wear gloves to protect from sharp edges or broken glass.
• Remove any retaining screws or clips, swap the old cover for the new one, then secure the retainer.
• After installation, restore power and replace the bulb if issues persist.

This fixed-temperature thermostat is a temperature-sensing safety switch that opens at a set limit to help prevent overheating and protect heating systems. Use it to restore proper thermal cutoff control in affected appliances. What it does:

• Senses internal temperature and opens the circuit when a set limit is reached to stop heating
• Acts as a high-limit/thermal cutoff to prevent overheating and potential damage
• Can restore normal heating control when a faulty limiter causes shutdowns or safety trips
• Common symptom link: appliance heater runs erratically, will not heat, or heats continuously and may trip safety circuits
