Parts for Lg LMVM2277ST / AS1ELGA: Section 4 Parts

A Tap-Tite binding-head screw used to fasten appliance panels and components where a self-tapping metal thread is required. Replaces missing or damaged fasteners to restore secure assembly and reduce vibration or rattling. What it does:

• Creates its own mating thread in thin sheet metal for a secure hold without a nut.
• Holds panels, brackets, and trim in place to prevent looseness or movement.
• Commonly used where stripped, missing, or broken screws cause rattling, misalignment, or parts that won't stay attached.
• Compatible with standard screwdrivers or nut drivers sized to the binding-head.

• Disconnect power and unplug the appliance before working on it.
• Use the correct driver bit to avoid cam-out or head damage.
• Start straight and apply steady pressure; avoid overtightening to prevent stripping the formed threads.
• If the original hole is badly damaged, assess for repair or use of a larger fastener as needed.

This truss head tapping screw secures panels, brackets, and covers in your appliance. Replacing a missing or damaged fastener restores a snug fit, reduces vibration, and helps keep components properly aligned for reliable performance.

• Provides low-profile holding power; wide truss head helps secure thin panels and trim
• Replaces lost, stripped, or corroded screws at the original mounting points
• Helps eliminate rattling, vibration, or loose handles/covers
• Addresses situations where a screw will not tighten or backs out during use

• Disconnect power; shut off water/gas if applicable before servicing
• Align parts and hand-start threads to avoid cross-threading
• Tighten until snug; do not overtighten to prevent stripping
• If the receiving hole is damaged, for repair before installing the new screw

This truss head tapping screw secures interior panels and small components on compatible appliances, restoring proper fit and stopping rattles or loose trim. It's a direct hardware replacement for a single mounting point. What it does:

• Fastens panels, brackets, and trim where a low-profile truss head is required
• Replaces missing or stripped screws that cause rattling or loose parts
• Provides a secure hold by forming threads in sheet metal during installation
• Useful for repairing cosmetic or functional panel alignment issues

• Disconnect power before working on any appliance to avoid shock or injury
• Use the correct sized Phillips or Torx driver to prevent cam-out or screw damage
• Start straight and thread slowly; do not overtighten to avoid stripping sheet metal
• Replace only with the exact part number for best fit and performance

This synchronous motor drives the microwave's glass turntable at a steady speed so food rotates for more even heating. Replace a weak or seized motor to restore smooth tray movement and consistent cooking performance.

• Provides slow, consistent rotation of the glass tray during cook cycles
• Helps promote more even heating by turning food under the magnetron
• Typical symptoms: turntable not turning, intermittent or jerky rotation, or humming without movement
• Located beneath the oven cavity, driving the coupler from below

• Disconnect power before servicing; microwaves contain high-voltage components that can retain a dangerous charge
• Access is typically from the bottom; remove the bottom cover and mounting screws to reach the motor
• Transfer the two wires one at a time to the new motor and ensure the shaft fully engages the turntable coupler
• Reinstall the cover and test rotation first without the glass tray, then with the tray and support

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 thermostat controls oven/dryer temperature by opening or closing its contacts as the appliance reaches set temperatures, helping maintain safe and consistent operation. Replaces a worn or failed thermostat to restore proper temperature regulation. What it does:

• Senses temperature and interrupts heating when limits are reached to prevent overheating
• Re-establishes heating when temperature falls, maintaining normal cycle performance
• Commonly installed when an appliance won't heat, overheats, or cycles erratically
• Works as a direct replacement for the OEM thermostat designed for compatible LG units

• One thermostat

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting any repair to avoid shock or injury
• Note wire locations or take a photo before removing wiring; reconnect wires to the same terminals
• Use a multimeter to verify thermostat continuity and correct operation before and after replacement
