The Screw is an OEM part for Whirlpool microwaves. It is responsible for securing various parts of the microwave together. This screw ensures a tight and secure fit for parts and helps maintain the structural integrity of the microwave, preventing any loose or rattling parts.

A bad microwave screw can occur due to wear and tear, accidental damage, or misplacement during maintenance or repairs. If you notice symptoms such as loose or wobbly components, difficulty in opening or closing the microwave door, or abnormal noises while the microwave is in use, it may be time to replace this part.

Symptoms of a bad microwave screw include:

• Loose or wobbly components
• Difficulty in opening or closing the microwave door
• Abnormal noises during operation

Restore your Whirlpool microwave by replacing the faulty or missing microwave screw with this genuine OEM part.

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

This mounting bracket secures the door lock/latch assembly to the washer's front panel, keeping the latch properly aligned so the door locks and unlocks reliably during cycles. Replacing a damaged bracket helps restore safe, consistent door operation.

• Holds the door latch assembly firmly in place
• Helps prevent door lock errors and incomplete cycles caused by misalignment
• Common symptoms include door not locking, cycle not starting, or "Door Locked" error codes
• Maintains correct latch position to reduce vibration-related issues

• Unplug the appliance before servicing
• Access is typically from the front; remove the door gasket clamp to reach the latch area
• Support the latch assembly while swapping the bracket to avoid straining wiring
• Test door operation and run a short cycle check after reassembly

This primary door interlock switch lets the microwave know the door is fully closed so cooking can start. Replacing a worn or sticking switch restores reliable start/stop response and helps prevent intermittent operation tied to door-latch signaling. What it does

• Confirms the door is closed to allow the control to power the cook circuit
• Common symptoms of a failed switch: won't start, stops when the door is jostled, or only runs when pressing on the door
• Installs on the latch/door switch bracket alongside secondary/monitor switches
• Helps correct inconsistent or no response when pressing Start

• One primary door interlock switch

• Disconnect power at the breaker; microwaves contain high-voltage components that can retain a dangerous charge
• Access the latch/switch bracket, then release the switch from its clip or screws
• Move wires to the same terminals on the new switch; match orientation/actuator position
• After reassembly, verify the unit does not run with the door open and starts consistently with the door closed

This magnetron generates the microwave energy that heats food in a microwave oven. Replacing a failed magnetron restores normal cooking power and stops weak or no-heat performance. What it does:

• Converts high-voltage power into microwave radiation to heat food
• Restores full heating when poor or no heating is caused by a failed magnetron
• Addresses symptoms such as weak heating, no heating, or unusual humming/buzzing during operation
• Not a control board or transformer—this part is the microwave source component

• One magnetron (single unit)

• Disconnect power before servicing; microwave high-voltage components can hold a dangerous charge
• Handle the antenna/ceramic output carefully to avoid damage; inspect seals and waveguide components during replacement
• After installation, verify proper operation and safety features before normal use

This turbo fan assembly moves air through the appliance to help maintain proper airflow and cooling. Replacing a worn or damaged fan restores efficient venting and helps prevent overheating or reduced performance. What it does:

• Spins to circulate air through the appliance's blower housing or heat exchanger
• Restores proper airflow when a failing fan causes weak output or longer cycles
• Reduces unusual noise caused by warped or imbalanced fan blades
• Helps prevent overheating by maintaining designed ventilation

• Disconnect power (and gas if applicable) before starting any repair.
• Handle the fan carefully—blades can be sharp and alignment affects balance.
• Inspect mounting hardware and seals; replace any damaged fasteners or gaskets.

This propeller is the small impeller that mounts to the dishwasher circulation pump to move wash water through the spray arms for effective cleaning. Replacing a worn or damaged propeller restores proper water flow and wash performance. What it does:

• Spins on the pump shaft to circulate wash water through the spray arms
• Restores normal water flow when a cracked or stripped propeller reduces circulation
• Helps resolve symptoms such as poor cleaning, weak spray, or inconsistent water movement
• Works with the pump motor; does not include the motor or pump housing

• Disconnect power and water supply before beginning any repair
• Access the pump assembly from the dishwasher base or cabinet front per your model service instructions
• Inspect the pump shaft and seal for wear; replace damaged components to prevent repeat failure
• Reassemble carefully and test operation

This genuine replacement door handle restores a secure grip and normal opening for compatible appliances. It replaces a cracked, loose or missing handle so the door operates safely and easily. What it does:

• Provides a sturdy grip for opening and closing the appliance door
• Replaces handles that are cracked, broken, loose or missing
• Helps prevent further damage to the door or cabinet from makeshift grips
• Restores original appearance and function when the handle is the failed component

• Disconnect power or unplug the appliance before beginning any repair
• Installation typically requires common hand tools (screwdriver, socket); keep fasteners from the old part for reuse if undamaged
• Handle alignment and proper fastener torque are important to avoid stress on the door
