If your microwave runs but won't heat, a failed magnetron capacitor may be the cause. This high-voltage component stores energy for the magnetron.

A small replacement button plug that fills a control-panel or console opening and restores a finished appearance. Keeps panels sealed and prevents debris from entering unused holes. What it does:

• Covers unused control holes or mounting openings on consoles and panels
• Helps block dust, moisture, and grime from entering appliance internals
• Restores a consistent, finished look to the control surface
• Useful when a damaged or missing plug leaves an exposed opening

• One button plug (black)

• Typically snaps into place from the front of the panel; no special tools usually required
• Ensure the cavity is clean and free of debris before installing for a secure fit
• If the plug sits near electrical components, disconnect power to the appliance before servicing
• Verify fit against the opening before final installation; slight trimming is not recommended unless specified

This thermostat retainer secures the refrigerator thermostat or temperature sensor in place to ensure accurate temperature sensing and stable operation. It replaces a worn or broken mounting clip to restore proper sensor positioning. What it does:

• Holds the thermostat/temperature sensor firmly against the evaporator or designated mounting point
• Prevents sensor movement that can cause erratic temperature readings or cooling issues
• Maintains correct sensor alignment for reliable refrigerator temperature control
• Helps reduce vibration and wear on the thermostat assembly

• Disconnect power to the appliance before servicing to avoid shock or injury
• Access may require removing interior panels or trim; keep fasteners organized
• Handle the thermostat and sensor carefully to avoid damaging the sensing element or wiring

This interlock is the door latch assembly that keeps a dryer door closed and prevents the dryer from running when the door is open. It restores proper door sensing for safe, reliable operation. What it does:

• Secures the dryer door so the machine only runs with the door fully closed
• Activates the door-safety circuit so the dryer stops when the door opens
• Commonly replaced when the door won't latch or the dryer won't start
• Helps eliminate intermittent start/no-start symptoms related to door sensing

• One interlock assembly

• Disconnect power before starting any repair to avoid electrical shock
• Replace only with the exact part number specified for your model
• Basic hand tools are typically required; avoid forcing plastic clips and connectors

This thermistor measures temperature changes inside your microwave to control cooking functions and safety systems. It sends temperature readings to the control board to adjust power levels and cooking times. Replace this part if your microwave doesn't heat properly, overheats, or sensor cooking features don't work correctly.

Fix a microwave that won't heat or heats slowly by replacing the inverter board. This repair requires 1-2 hours and moderate skill to access.

Lower cabinet base for microwaves. Provides structural support and stabilizes the unit. Replace if cracked, damaged, or warped to restore level positioning.

Microwave not heating food? The magnetron generates microwaves for cooking. Moderately difficult repair requiring high-voltage precautions.

Microwave light reflector directs bulb illumination inside cooking cavity. Replace if cracked, discolored, or missing to restore proper lighting. Confirm fit with your model number.

• Helps prevent rattling or movement caused by a missing screw
• Works wherever the OEM screw specification and fit match

• One screw

• Use the matching screwdriver or driver bit; avoid overtightening to prevent stripping
• Disconnect power and follow appliance safety precautions before servicing

This mounting bracket is a replacement support bracket that secures appliance components and keeps assemblies aligned for reliable operation. It restores proper fit and helps prevent rattling or movement from loose fittings. What it does:

• Secures panels or assemblies to the appliance frame to maintain proper alignment
• Reduces vibration and rattling caused by loose or damaged supports
• Restores mounting points that prevent sagging or separation of connected parts
• Helps ensure stable operation after repairs involving removed or replaced hardware

• Follow the appliance service manual for exact location and fastener torque
• Disconnect power (and gas if applicable) before beginning any repair
• Use appropriate tools and replace any damaged screws or clips with OEM-equivalent fasteners
