This is an open lever for a microwave. It allows the microwave door to open when prompted. When you push on your door latch lever, it contacts the door latch assembly and releases the hooks that lock the door shut, allowing the door to open. If your door will not open, you may need to replace the open lever. You will need to remove the microwave cover and possibly the control panel, depending on your model, to access the door latch assembly. This part is white or off-white in color and measures approximately 4.5 inches long. This is an OEM part sourced directly from the manufacturer.

This is called a magnetron and it is to be used in your microwave. The purpose of this part is to generate energy and heat for your appliance. This piece is 6 inches long, 6 inches wide, and 5.5 inches thick. The most common reason for needing to change the magnetron is if your appliance is making loud noises and does not heat. Before making this repair, we recommend unplugging your microwave and letting it sit inactive for some time. Take precautions while making this installation as a microwave can hold a lethal electrical charge for extend periods of time, even when unplugged.

Microwaves in your appliance are created by the magneton, and then they travel into the cavity of your appliance through a hole on the inside wall. This cover goes over that hole and acts as a filter, it allows the microwaves to pass through it and into your appliance to heat food. It also stops moisture and food particles from getting into the mechanisms of the microwave. The waveguide is found inside the microwave, attached by one or more screws to the right side or in the roof. If you notice that your waveguide has fallen off, has a hole in it, or is sparking or arcing during the cooking process, you will need to replace the part. A new cover is rigid and firm, but over time it becomes soft and flexible due to absorbing moisture. NOTE: Remember to disconnect the power and discharge the capacitor from the microwave before starting this repair. The capacitor can hold a charge even when power is disconnected from the unit.
