• Disconnect power before servicing the microwave
• Remove the glass tray; lift out the old ring and clean the track area
• Position the new ring with rollers facing down; reseat the tray on the coupler
• Test rotation; if the tray still doesn't turn, inspect the coupler and turntable motor

This Whirlpool Microwave Interlock Switch is an OEM part compatible with certain Whirlpool microwave models. As a crucial safety component, this interlock switch ensures the microwave only operates when the door is securely closed, preventing accidental exposure to microwave radiation. 

Interlock switches in microwaves can fail due to repeated use, mechanical wear, or misalignment. A malfunctioning interlock switch can lead to the microwave refusing to start, operating with the door open, or intermittent operation, all of which pose significant safety concerns.

Symptoms of a defective microwave interlock switch include:

• The microwave does not start or heats intermittently.
• The microwave starts operating when the door is open.
• Unusual noises when closing or opening the microwave door.
• The microwave stops suddenly during operation.
• The display or controls are unresponsive despite the door being closed.

This genuine Whirlpool OEM replacement part is compatible with Maytag, Jenn-Air, and Kenmore models.
 

The Interlock Switch is an OEM part for Whirlpool microwaves. As a safety mechanism, it prevents inadvertent microwave radiation by cutting power without the door closed securely.

• Use only as directed in your model's Use & Care Guide; remove the rack when not needed

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 Turntable Ring is an OEM part for Whirlpool microwaves. As the foundation for the glass turntable, this plastic ring rotates during the microwave cooking cycle to allow even heating. It is designed with precise dimensions and tolerances to fit properly on the carousel and turn smoothly without issue.

Causes of a bad turntable ring can include cracks or breaks from impact or wear over time. The ridges that support the turntable glass may become worn or damaged, preventing proper rotation.

Symptoms of a bad turntable ring include:

• Uneven or incomplete cooking due to lack of rotation
• Grinding or scraping noises during use
