Whirlpool Microwave Support Parts

The Mounting Plate is an OEM part for Whirlpool microwaves. This part is designed to mount and stabilize the microwave over the range, ensuring it is safely anchored in its designated space. The mounting plate serves as an interface between the microwave and the wall or cabinet, distributing the weight evenly and providing a firm foundation for the appliance.

Causes of a bad Mounting Plate can stem from improper installation, which may lead to undue stress and eventual warping or weakening of the material.

Symptoms of a bad Mounting Plate include:

• Loose microwave unit
• Difficulty in aligning or installing the microwave 
• Visible signs of wear, rust, or damage on the plate

This OEM Whirlpool part can also be used on Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore/Sears brand appliances.

This support is a replacement mounting bracket that secures internal components and restores proper alignment and stability. It helps reduce vibration and prevents loose or sagging parts for safer, quieter operation. What it does:

• Provides a rigid mounting point to hold internal assemblies in place
• Restores correct alignment when panels or components sit unevenly
• Reduces vibration or rattling caused by a broken or missing support
• Helps prevent additional wear on adjoining parts by keeping components stable

• One support mounting bracket

• Recommended for repair by someone comfortable with appliance disassembly
• Disconnect power (and water, if applicable) before starting any repair
• Keep track of mounting hardware and gaskets removed during replacement
• Inspect adjacent parts for wear when installing this support and replace as needed

This molded wire support clip secures wiring and small harnesses to the appliance cabinet or components to prevent rubbing, pinching, or contact with moving/heat-producing parts. It helps reduce chafing and electrical wear for safer, more reliable operation. What it does:

• Holds wiring harnesses and individual wires in place to prevent contact with sharp edges, motors, or heating elements
• Minimizes wire movement and vibration that can lead to chafing or broken conductors
• Helps maintain proper routing for consistent connections and component performance
• Commonly used where a small push-fit retainer is needed to secure low-voltage or signal wires

• One wire support clip as shown

• Disconnect power to the appliance before servicing to avoid shock or injury
• Push-fit installation: align clip over wire/harness and press into the mating hole or slot until it snaps in place; clip may require slight flexing
• Inspect surrounding wiring and routing for damage; replace any frayed or exposed wires before reassembly
• If the mounting hole or panel is damaged, use the correct replacement panel or a suitable repair to ensure a secure fit

Replacement plate that restores fit and finish for compatible Whirlpool appliances. Install to replace a cracked, warped, or cosmetically damaged plate and help maintain proper component alignment and appearance. What it does:

• Replaces a damaged or worn plate to restore the appliance's original coverage and appearance.
• Helps prevent gaps where food, grease, or debris can collect around the affected area.
• Maintains proper alignment and support for adjacent parts that rely on the plate for mounting or spacing.

• Disconnect power to the appliance before beginning any repair.
• Use basic hand tools and follow the OEM diagram for correct orientation and fastener locations.
• Inspect mounting hardware and any gaskets; replace separately if worn or damaged.

This support is a replacement mounting bracket that stabilizes and secures internal components to prevent movement and wear. It restores proper alignment and reduces vibration and noise caused by a damaged or missing support. What it does

• Provides structural support for internal appliance assemblies to keep parts aligned.
• Reduces vibration and rattling that can occur when a support is cracked or broken.
• Prevents sagging or shifting of panels and components that may lead to further wear.
• Helps maintain normal operation by keeping moving parts properly positioned.

• Disconnect power (and water if applicable) before beginning any repair.
• Remove any panels or components blocking access.
• Verify bracket orientation and mounting hole alignment before tightening fasteners.
• Use appropriate hand tools and avoid overtightening to prevent damage; replace any fasteners that are worn or damaged.
