Parts for Lg LMV1925SB / AB1ELGA: Section 5 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 rivet assembly fastens panels, brackets, or covers inside the microwave cabinet. Replacing a damaged or missing fastener restores a tight fit, reduces vibration noise, and keeps mounted components properly aligned.

• Secures panels, brackets, or covers to the cabinet for a stable fit
• Use when a rivet is cracked, missing, or no longer holds
• Can help resolve rattling, buzzing, or loose panel movement
• Maintains proper alignment and support of mounted parts

• Disconnect power before servicing; support and remove over-the-range/built-in units for safe access.
• Microwaves contain a high-voltage capacitor that can retain a dangerous charge—service should be performed by qualified personnel.
• Reinstall using existing mounting holes; ensure the rivet is fully seated and secure.
• Wear cut-resistant gloves and eye protection to avoid injury from sharp metal edges.

This turntable shaft (MH-8) connects the microwave's turntable motor to the glass tray hub so the tray spins for even heating. Replace it when the tray won't rotate, slips intermittently, or makes grinding/clicking noises.

• Couples the turntable motor to the tray hub to drive rotation
• Helps ensure even cooking and defrosting by keeping the tray moving
• Typical symptoms: tray not turning, intermittent/jerky rotation, grinding or clicking from the cavity floor
• Damage indicators: cracks, melted/rounded drive surfaces, or excessive wobble

• Disconnect power to the microwave at the plug or breaker before servicing
• Remove the glass tray and roller ring to access the shaft
• Lift the old shaft straight up; if stuck, access the turntable motor from below to push it out
• Align and press the new shaft fully onto the motor spindle; reassemble and test rotation

A high-voltage capacitor for the appliance's high-voltage circuit that stores and releases electrical energy to support proper heating operation. Replacing a failing capacitor can restore consistent heating and prevent related electrical faults. What it does:

• Stores and delivers high-voltage energy used by the magnetron/ high-voltage assembly to generate heat.
• Failure may cause no-heat or weak-heat conditions in the oven.
• Faulty capacitors can contribute to arcing, loud humming, or blown high-voltage fuses.
• Works as part of the HV circuit; not a user-serviceable low-voltage control.

• High-voltage components can hold a dangerous charge—disconnect power and discharge the capacitor before servicing.
• Use insulated tools and avoid touching terminals; verify proper operation with appropriate test equipment.

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 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 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
