The Microwave Door Switch is an OEM replacement part for LG countertop microwaves. It monitors the door position electrically to prevent unsafe oven operation if ajar. 

Symptoms of a bad door switch include:

• Inability to start or pause a cooking cycle unless securely latched  
• Error messages about the door being open
• Inconsistent detection of open/closed door positions
• Unreliable contact functioning after extended use

Causes involve normal wear of electrical contacts and internals through many open/close uses. Exposure to moisture intrusion from spills may potentially damage sensitive switch circuitry over time as well.

This genuine LG replacement switch is also compatible with Sears/Kenmore microwaves.

The Charcoal Filter is an OEM part for LG microwaves. It plays a crucial role in filtering and removing odors, smoke, and grease particles from the air during cooking. It is constructed with activated charcoal, which has absorbent properties and helps to eliminate cooking odors.

Over time, the charcoal filter can become saturated and less effective in odor removal. It is recommended to replace the charcoal filter periodically to maintain optimal performance and ensure clean and fresh air in your kitchen.

Symptoms of a saturated or clogged charcoal filter may include:

• Lingering cooking odors in the kitchen
• Reduced efficiency in capturing smoke or grease particles
• The presence of visible debris or discoloration on the filter

This OEM LG part can also be used on Kenmore/Sears appliances. 

The Magnetron is an OEM part for LG microwaves. It is responsible for generating the microwaves that cook or heat the food inside the appliance. The magnetron converts electrical energy into microwave radiation, ensuring efficient and even heating.

Causes of a bad magnetron can include prolonged use, electrical surges, or overheating. Over time, these factors can lead to the magnetron wearing out or failing completely.

Symptoms of a bad Magnetron include:

• The microwave not heating food
• Strange noises during operation
• Burning smell or smoke
• The microwave shutting off unexpectedly

This OEM LG part is also compatible with Sears/Kenmore models.

The Damper Bracket is an OEM component for LG microwaves. Located inside the microwave cavity above the wave stirrer, this bracket holds the position of the damper assembly that helps distribute heat evenly during cooking. The bracket measures approximately 12” by 5”.

Symptoms of a bad damper bracket can include:  

• Hot or cold spots developing within the microwave cavity
• Looseness in the damper assembly fit
• Reduced heat circulation leading to uneven cooking

Causes typically consist of cracking over long-term heat exposure. Repeated opening/closing of the damper may also weaken attachment points on the bracket.

This OEM LG part is also compatible with Sears/Kenmore microwaves. 

The Damper is an OEM component for LG microwaves. Located within the cooking cavity, it regulates airflow and safely vents steam escaping heated foods. 

Causes of a faulty damper can involve standard wear and exposure accepting steam and condensation release. Food or liquid particles drying within tracks also threaten eventual adhesion issues restricting travel if left unaddressed between cleanings.

Symptoms of a damaged or defective damper include:

• Inability to adequately vent excess moisture from heating  
• Potential messes spilling beyond the microwave frame  
• Grating sounds or squeaks emitting during cooking
• Flaps possibly stuck inhibiting steam circulation 

This damper is also compatible with Kenmore microwaves as well.

The Light Bulb is an OEM part for LG microwaves. It provides illumination inside the microwave oven, allowing users to monitor the cooking process and check the condition of the food without opening the door.

Causes of a bad light bulb can include normal wear and tear, electrical surges, or damage due to impact or overheating. Over time, the filament inside the bulb can burn out, or the bulb itself can become loose or disconnected.

Symptoms of a bad light bulb include:

• The microwave interior light not turning on
• Flickering or dimming of the light
• Intermittent lighting during operation

This OEM LG part is also compatible with Sears/Kenmore models.

The Door Latch Spring is a genuine OEM part for LG microwaves. As a key component of the microwave, the door latch spring is responsible for providing the tension needed to securely close and latch the microwave door. It works behind the scenes to ensure a tight seal when the door is shut.

Symptoms of a bad door latch spring include:

• The microwave door not closing or latching properly 
• Gaps appearing around the door seal when shut
• Difficulty opening and closing the door

Causes of a bad door latch spring can include wear and tear over time. Exposure to excessive door slamming can also place undue stress on the spring.

This genuine LG OEM  replacement part is also compatible with Sears/Kenmore microwaves.

The drawing capacitor is an OEM component for LG countertop microwaves. It is an integrated electric part that stores and releases power allowing the main control board to communicate smoothly with high-load cooking components like the magnetron tube and turntable motor.

Symptoms of a bad drawing capacitor include: 

• Microwave failing to power on or start cooking presets  
• Components like the turntable or magnetron not engaging
• Unusual crackling or burning smells from internal circuits
• Control panel displaying error codes for capacitive malfunctions

Causes can be normal component fatigue or manufacturing defects after extended use.

This OEM LG part can also be used on Kenmore/Sears appliances. 

The Diode is an OEM replacement part for LG countertop microwave models. Located internally on circuit boards regulating magnetron function, it precisely controls the electric current flow.

Causes of a bad diode involve thermal fatigue over time putting repetitive stress on sensitive semiconductor junctions. Microwave demands may accelerate failures.

Symptoms include:

• Intermittent cooking or complete failure to energize the tube
• Error codes appearing on the control panel display
• Buzzing or humming noises emitting from internal circuitry

This OEM LG part is also compatible with Sears/Kenmore microwaves.

This holder assembly secures the locker/latch mechanism in place so the door or access panel aligns and closes properly. Replacing a cracked or missing holder restores secure engagement and smooth, reliable operation. What it does:

• Wear cut-resistant gloves and eye protection to avoid injury from sharp metal edges.

The Grille, Vent is an OEM part for LG microwaves. It is a component located on the outside of the microwave that is responsible for ventilating heat and providing airflow. 

Symptoms of a bad grille, or vent can include blockages preventing proper ventilation, deformations or dents that disrupt airflow, or loose or missing mounting brackets. Without proper functioning of this vent grille component, the microwave may overheat during use or function improperly. 

Causes of a bad grille, vent include normal wear and tear over time, accumulated debris buildup causing obstructed ventilation, or physical damage due to impact or mishandling.

Symptoms of a bad vent grille include:

• Overheating or shutting down of the microwave 
• Reduced cooking power
• Accumulation of heat inside the microwave cavity
• Tripped breaker or fuse

This OEM LG part is also compatible with Sears/Kenmore.
