Description
The Screw is an OEM part for Whirlpool microwaves. It is a small yet vital component that joins together other parts of the microwave to create a cohesive machine. The screw is responsible for tightly securing internal components like the magnetron tube, control panel, and outer case during operation.
Symptoms of a bad screw include:
- Loose or detached internal microwave components
- External parts like the door or casing that will not stay aligned or attached
- Overheating or arcing due to poor grounding from loose screws
- Component malfunctions if mounting positions are compromised
Causes of a bad screw can include wear and tear that causes stripping or loosening over time, or damage from handling that results in breaking or bending.
This OEM Whirlpool part is compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore microwave models.
