Parts for Lg MVH1615WW / CWHEGSE: 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.

Color: brown. Measures about 10 inches in diameter.

This turntable motor drives your microwave's glass tray, rotating food for more even heating. Replacing a failing motor restores proper tray movement and helps reduce cold spots during cooking. What it does:

• Rotates the glass tray via the turntable coupler during cook cycles
• Helps promote even heating by keeping food moving
• Addresses symptoms such as the tray not turning, intermittent rotation, or grinding/clicking noises from beneath the cavity
• Useful check: ensure the roller ring and coupler aren't damaged or obstructed

• 1 turntable motor

• Disconnect power; microwaves contain high-voltage components that can retain a charge
• Typically accessed from the unit's bottom panel; remove the cover to reach the motor
• Move the two wires and mounting screws from the old motor to the new one; align the shaft with the coupler
• After reassembly, confirm the tray sits correctly on the roller ring and spins freely

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.
