Symptoms of a bad grill vent include:

• The interior of the microwave becomes too hot during grilling
• Excessive heat escapes from the exterior of the microwave
• Reduced grilling efficiency and performance
• Potential fire hazard if venting is completely blocked

This genuine OEM Whirlpool part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models.

The Control Panel is an OEM part for Whirlpool microwaves. It houses a digital interface that allows for programming cooking times, functions, and settings. Touch buttons, dials, and LED displays on the panel provide an easy way to customize heating needs for any meal.

Causes of a bad control panel include failures due to repetitive usage over the appliance's lifespan, whereby circuits or connections degrade. Physical impacts or moisture intrusions can also damage electronic components. 

Symptoms of a bad control panel are:

• Unresponsive or malfunctioning buttons/dials   
• Fault codes or error messages appearing
• Inability to start the microwave or adjust times/power levels
• Flickering or dimming displays

This Whirlpool replacement part is compatible with select Whirlpool, Maytag, and Kenmore models.

This foam seal cushions and fills gaps around the cabinet or door trim to reduce vibration, block drafts, and help prevent moisture and dust intrusion. It restores a snug fit where worn or missing foam allows movement or air leaks. What it does

• Provides a compressible barrier between panels or trim to reduce rattles and vibration.
• Helps block drafts and limits dust, moisture, and light infiltration at seams.
• Restores proper spacing and alignment for doors or panels that rely on foam padding.
• Commonly replaced when foam is crushed, torn, or missing.

• One foam seal.

• Disconnect power and empty the area if the repair requires panel or door removal.
• Remove all old foam and adhesive; clean surfaces thoroughly before installing the new seal.
• Press or align the foam into place; use approved adhesive if the OEM specifies glue or clips.
• Verify a proper seal and operation before returning the appliance to service.

The Lamp-Asm is an OEM part for Whirlpool microwave/hood combo units. This assembly contains the lightbulb and other components that allow the hood lighting to function properly. 

Causes of a bad lamp assembly can include normal wear and tear over time, as well as accidental damage. As lightbulbs are exposed to heat and moisture from cooking, they have a limited lifespan and may burn out unexpectedly.

Symptoms of a bad lamp assembly include:

• Dim or no light from the hood lighting fixture
• Burned out or failed lightbulb 
• Loose, damaged, or defective lamp socket/fitting

This Whirlpool replacement is compatible with many KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, and some Kenmore models as well.
