This control panel is the front console housing for your appliance's user interface, restoring the buttons and display area so you can select cycles and read settings clearly. Designed as a direct replacement for the panel assembly. What it does:

• Provides the user interface surface for touchpads, buttons, and the display so controls respond and information is visible.
• Transfers user inputs to the appliance's main electronics (when installed and connected correctly).
• Replaces panels that are cracked, scratched, or have worn labels that make controls hard to see or use.
• Restores a finished appearance to the appliance's front when the original panel is damaged.

• Disconnect power (unplug or switch off breaker) before attempting service to avoid shock.
• Handle carefully to avoid damaging attached electronics, ribbon cables, or the display; avoid touching circuit board contacts.
• Remove trim and mounting screws as needed; keep hardware organized for reassembly.
• Test operation after reconnecting wiring and before fully reassembling the appliance.

This high-voltage magnetron capacitor stores and delivers the pulse of energy the microwave magnetron needs to generate heat. Replacing a failed unit restores proper high-voltage function so the oven can heat reliably. What it does:

• Stores and releases high-voltage energy to the magnetron during cooking cycles.
• Works with the oven's diode and transformer to produce microwave energy.
• A failed capacitor can cause no heat, weak heating, or a blown fuse/circuit interruption.
• Designed for the microwave high-voltage assembly; handle as a high-voltage component.

• Disconnect power and unplug the appliance before service.
• Discharge the capacitor with an insulated tool before touching terminals.
• Verify this part number matches your appliance before ordering.

This thermistor is a refrigerator temperature sensor that monitors internal air temperature so the control board can regulate cooling. Replaces a failed sensor to help restore accurate temperature readings and more consistent cooling. What it does:

• Senses internal refrigerator temperature and sends a variable resistance signal to the control board
• Helps the control system cycle the compressor and fans correctly for stable temperatures
• Commonly replaced when refrigerator runs too cold, too warm, or has irregular cooling cycles
• Can address temperature-error codes or defrost control issues when the sensor is faulty

• Disconnect power to the appliance before inspecting or replacing the sensor
• Handle the sensor and wiring harness carefully to avoid damage to the probe or connectors
• Install in the original sensor mounting location and secure wiring away from moving parts

• Matches original mounting locations to maintain proper door alignment and function
• Designed for direct replacement without modifying the door

• One replacement refrigerator door handle

• Remove power to the appliance and empty door shelves before starting
• Typical install requires removing the door trim or screws at the handle mounting points
• Handle screws and any trim clips should be reused if undamaged; replace if stripped

This wire harness is the assembled wiring needed to replace a worn, damaged, or failed harness that connects appliance components and restores reliable power and signal paths. It helps return normal operation by replacing frayed or broken wires and connectors. What it does:

• Replaces the factory wiring assembly that links controls, switches, sensors and motors
• Restores electrical connections that can cause no-start, intermittent operation, or failed cycles
• Eliminates problems caused by loose, corroded, or damaged wires and terminals
• Prevents arcing or shorts from exposed or broken conductors when properly installed

• One complete wire harness assembly as shown

• Always disconnect power (unplug or shut off breaker) before servicing electrical components
• Verify routing and connector orientation match the original harness before securing
• Avoid stretching or pinching wires; secure with existing clips or fasteners
• If any connector or terminal appears damaged, replace the harness rather than attempt field repairs

This transformer provides the low-voltage power needed by the appliance's control and user-interface circuits so systems like the dispenser, ice maker, or control board can operate reliably. What it does:

• Steps down mains power to low-voltage power for control boards and user-interface components
• Restores power to dispensers, ice makers, timers or control modules that have lost low-voltage supply
• Commonly replaced when control circuits are unresponsive, displays are blank, or dispenser functions fail
• Matches OEM function for direct replacement of the failed transformer

• One replacement transformer

• Disconnect all power to the appliance before starting work to avoid shock hazard
• Handle wiring connections carefully; make secure electrical connections and restore grounding

The Fan Motor is an OEM part for Whirlpool microwaves. This fan motor is responsible for circulating air through the venting system. It works to evacuate fumes, smoke, and odors from the cooking area and direct them outside through the vent hood.

Causes of a bad fan motor can include excess dust or debris buildup hindering performance, bearing wear over time, or failure of electronic motor components.

Symptoms of a bad fan motor include:

• Inadequate or no air flow from the vent hood
• Strange noises coming from the vent system
• Reduced hood lighting levels
• Overheating or burning smells detected from the cooking surface or vent hood

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