This micro-switch is designed for use in your microwave. The function of this part is to monitor the door latch position and communicate to the electronic control board whether the latch is open or closed. If your microwave does not provide heat, or will not start properly, you may need to replace the micro-switch. This part is approximat...Read moreely 1 inch in length and 3/4-inch in width. It is made of black plastic with two metal prongs. This is an OEM part sourced directly from the manufacturer. This part is sold individually. Be sure to disconnect the microwave from the power source before you begin this repair.
This microwave door interlock switch responds to the door latch, helping prevent cooking operation while the door is open. Its small actuator changes the electrical contact when the door opens or closes. A worn or damaged switch may prevent the microwave from starting even when the door is fully shut. Replacing a faulty switch helps resto...Read morere proper door detection within the safety interlock system.

Electrical overload protection comes from this microwave time delay fuse, rated at 20 amps and 250 volts. It tolerates brief startup current while opening the circuit during a sustained overload or short circuit. A blown main fuse may leave the microwave without power or prevent it from starting. The fuse cannot be reset and requires repl...Read moreacement once it opens.

The turntable support assembly is also known as a roller guide, fits under the cooking tray and is used to support the tray and to engage the rotating coupler. If your cooking tray will not turn, or rumbles when it turns, check the support assembly for signs of wear or damage. If no damage can be seen, check the coupler for damage.
This AC synchronous motor is a genuine OEM replacement part specially made for microwaves. It operates on an alternating current, and it is responsible for rotating the turntable to ensure even heating of your food. The motor can fail due to physical damage or malfunctioning internal components such as the bearings. If your turntable is n...Read moreot rotating, you will need to replace the motor. You can find it underneath the microwave cavity, near the center. Disconnect the microwave from the power source and remove the cover. Turn the microwave over and remove the bottom panel to access the motor. Disconnect the motor from its mounting location, and then insert the new motor in its place. Ensure the new motor is securely attached before reassembling the appliance.
Microwave energy for heating food is generated by this magnetron, which converts electrical power from the high voltage circuit into cooking energy. A failed magnetron may leave the appliance running without heating, even while the turntable, display, and fan continue to operate.

This microwave high voltage diode and cable assembly allows current to flow in one direction, working with the transformer and capacitor to supply power to the magnetron. That power enables the magnetron to generate the microwave energy used for heating food. A failed diode may leave the appliance running without producing heat.

After watching a few youtube videos, I used a phillips SD to take controll pannel off to access the switches that sense when microwave door is closed. Swapped out all 3 switched and mocrowave works like new. $20 fix (shipping included)
My 8 year old daughter cleaned the inside of the microwave with enough water to rival a tsunami. Resulted in a clean microwave with a fried out motor that no longer revolved. Part came quickly. Took cover and bottom off to get to the part. One screw held it on and a plug. Removed those, put on new part and she was good to go. No tri

Unplug the unit before servicing. Need phillips screwdriver. Open door. Use step ladder to access and remove 2 small screws from top of the room air diffuser at top of unit. Slide diffuser slightly to the left to align the diffuser's plastic tab on the left side to rotate toward you. (The wires for the front control panel are at the far l
... Read moreeft side of this difuser, but difuser is slotted for easy removal). Once the difuser is removed you will see 1 screw at the top that secures the pannel cover on the left side of the unit. Remove screw and slide this panel slightly up and out. This exposes the plastic frame that holds the upper and lower door switches. To locate the door switches and observe how they work, close and open the door and watch the door (bayonets) open and close the micro switches. Do the (red) buttons on top of the switches move up and down when the door bayonets push and release? If the buttons do not "pop" up when opened the switch is defective. The switch frame is secured with 2 screws. Remove screws and rotate the unit out for easy access to the micro switch(s). The internal (spring?) on my unit that is suposed to allow the red (visible) button on top of the switch to "pop" up when the door is opened was broken. Carefully pry the switch outward while being careful to lift the plastic holder-piece that holds the switch in place. Be careful, there is a small pin on the frame, so rotate the switch OUT toward you while lifting (carefully) the plastic holder-piece (you will see it on top of the switch). You can use an ohm meter to test the continuity of the switches. But if the buttons don't "pop" they are defective. Replace switch and reassemble.
